Exploring the Perception of the CSI Effect Among College Students While studies have shown little to no support for the CSI effect, researchers have found that the perception of its existence among the public and criminal justice actors is the opposite. The current study uses a sample of undergraduates, who are currently enrolled in criminology courses, to examine perceptions of a CSI effect on courtroom verdicts, offender behavior, and the police chief’s effect. Additionally, this research explores whether these beliefs are mediated by education in criminology and crime show viewing habits. Results showed that education and crime show consumption influenced certain aspects of the CSI effect differently. The findings demonstrate the need for educators and researchers to continue to unravel the disconnect between empirical reality and perceptions that the CSI effect exists.

The non-medical interventions of social distancing, quarantine and lockdown have been adopted to prevent transmission of the disease by contact. In some countries, police have been used to enforce public health laws. This research analyses data from two districts in the State of Kerala, India to examine whether police efforts had any impact on the outcome of reducing transmission of the disease by contact. Analysing the different methods used by the police across the two districts, this study concludes that police efforts at non-medical interventions reduce the spread of the disease. The study also concludes that, in contrast to mere enforcement of public health laws and regulations, the strategic use of resources is an important factor in achieving better outcomes. International Journal of Police Science & Management 23/4/2021 Research article Tracking Violent Crime With Ambulance Data: How Much Crime Goes Uncounted? What proportion of ambulance records documenting injuries caused by criminal violence is included in police records for violent crimes occurring in the same area at the same dates and times as incidents found in ambulance records? We analysed subsets of three datasets during matched time periods: West Midlands Ambulance Service records of all 36,639 incidents of violent injuries from January 2012 to March 2017; 132,317 West Midlands Police records of violent crimes from January 2012 to December 2015; and 9083 records of treatment of violent injuries as recorded in hospital Emergency Department (ED) records covering September 2013 to March 2016. We compared all incidents in the ambulance dataset and ED data to corresponding locations and times in incidents recorded in police datasets. Approximately 90% of cases in the ambulance dataset did not have a corresponding case in the police dataset.

Their actual work, however, tells a different and less dramatic story. Why, then, do they insist on these warlike tales? Why is there a discrepancy between the self-representation of transnational policing and its reality? Using an ethnographic study, this article provides some answers. First, it includes an overview of three established explanations of the inclination of transnational police to represent their work in warlike terms. Next, an additional reading is presented. Building on Reiner’s discussion of “police fetishism”, this reading proposes that transnational policing actors have an idée fixe about their own professional inevitability. They blindly believe that policing must exist, but also that it has to be done combatively to truly work. In conclusion, the article contemplates what the existence of such a “fighting fetish” means in both theoretical and reform terms.
