The Times - Subscription at source 9/7/2020 Feature, Opinion Interaction Rituals and ‘Police’ Encounters: New Challenges For Interactionist Police Sociology Interactionist police sociology is in need of revision and extension in the face of profound change in policing, society, and in the very nature of ‘interaction’. The argument draws upon interaction ritual theory, a micro-sociological perspective that explores social life, and feelings of belonging and solidarity, as outcomes of encounters between people. Two tenets of the theory – that successful encounters produce emotional energy that creates bonds of solidarity, and that they require physical co-presence of human participants to work in this way – are being revised in the light of new empirical work exploring interaction with ‘others’ in a variety of new forms. The effect of this work is to provoke reassessment of what ‘counts’ as an encounter and to question the nature and sources of solidarity in an age when face-to-face physical co-presence is in decline. These features of interaction ritual theory are developed through three purposively-selected, illustrative applications of it to policing: police as reproducers of order; policing as information brokering; and, the changing landscape of security encounters. The article opens up new questions and objects of study for interactionist police research that are fit for the empirical realities of contemporary policing. Policing and Society - Registration at source 9/7/2020 Research article How 911 Callers and Call‐takers Impact Police Encounters With the Public: the Case of the Henry Louis Gates Jr. Arrest The Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrest provides an illuminating case study to show how the omission of dispatch in police reform conversations limits our understanding of police officer action. Using conversation analysis, this article analyzes the 911 call and radio transmission from the Gates incident to dissect the function of the 911 call‐taker, and their impact on policing in the field. This analysis shines light on a previously overlooked call‐taker function—risk appraisal—and concretely shows how the call‐taker played a pivotal role in escalating the caller’s uncertainty and, thus, primed the responding officer for a more aggressive encounter. Through unpacking precisely how the call‐taker appraised risk—namely through extraction, interpretation, and classification of caller information—this article provides a framework to evaluate call‐taker actions. The findings suggest the need for training that instructs call‐takers to assess risk in more sophisticated ways. Preserving uncertainty may reduce the overestimation or underestimation of incidents and improve future police encounters with the public. Criminology and Public Policy 9/7/2020 Research article Stop and Search: Section 60 powers should be used alongside the Police Code of Ethics 'Section 60' stop and search powers continue to cause controversy, but Montell Neufville, a police ethics adviser, trainer and chair of a police community scrutiny panel, says that if officers of all ranks adhered to the Police Code of Ethics, many of the issues surrounding stop and search could be avoided.
