However, increasing awareness of gender inequality is stimulating the implementation of affirmative action policies to encourage women into policing, especially in developed countries. Despite this, Brazil is moving in the opposite direction. This study investigates the latest military police recruitment programmes of all Brazilian states, as well as the laws that regulate these processes. This research shows that 74% of the latest recruitment programmes explicitly restricted the selection of female officers to a maximum threshold. Therefore, instead of promoting diversity, recruitment has imposed barriers to female integration, widening the gender gap in police forces. Moreover, this unjustifiable limitation violates the rights to equality and non-discrimination, protected not only in the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 but also in several international conventions ratified by Brazil. Policing and Society - Registration at source 20/6/2020 Research article How Do Police Officers Talk About Their Encounters With ‘the Public’? Group Interaction, Procedural Justice and Officer Constructions of Policing Identities Despite widespread empirical support for Procedural Justice Theory, understanding the role of police psychology in shaping encounters with ‘citizens’ is relatively opaque. This article seeks to address this gap in the literature by exploring how officers talk about themselves and their colleagues and deploy social categories to understand their interactions with ‘the public’. The qualitative thematic analysis draws upon 22 semi-structured interviews conducted with officers in various roles and teams within a large metropolitan police force in England. Our thematic analysis demonstrates the centrality of procedural fairness in officers’ talk (in terms of internal relations with colleagues and external relations with ‘the public’). Interviewees described complex internalised theories of social relations, differentially positioning themselves in relation to other colleagues and multiple ‘publics’ often depicted along socioeconomic and geographical lines. Criminology and Criminal Justice - Registration at source 20/6/2020 Research article The Police Role in Domestic Homicide Prevention: Lessons From A Domestic Violence Death Review Committee This study examined the role of police in domestic homicide cases reviewed by a multidisciplinary death review committee in Ontario, Canada. Examining the 219 domestic homicide case summaries, this study explored the difference between homicides with, and without, prior police contact. Results indicated that police contacted cases had 63% more risk factors present compared with cases without prior police contact, with 80% of police-involved cases having 10 or more risk factors. Police cases had unique risk factors present including a failure to comply with authority, access to victims after risk assessments, prior threats to kill victims (including with a weapon), history of domestic violence (DV), extreme minimization of DV, addiction concerns, and an escalation of violence. Cases involving child homicide have unique child-specific risk factors such as custody disputes, threats to children, and abuse during pregnancy. Overall, there was a lack of formal risk assessments conducted. Implications are discussed in terms of police intervention being a critical opportunity for risk assessment, safety planning, and risk management. Although there is no certainty in predicting that lives would have been saved, the level of risk presented calls for enhanced efforts at assessment and intervention for adult victims and their children. Journal of Interpersonal Violence - Registration at source 20/6/2020 Research article Untangling the Complex Pathways to Confidence in the Police in South Korea: A Stepwise Multilevel Structural Equation Modelling Analysis Studies on confidence in the police have employed three theoretical frameworks: (1) an instrumental model that focuses on the effect of police effectiveness and fear of crime, (2) an expressive model that emphasizes the role of general perception on social cohesion, and (3) a procedural model that highlights the distinct role of perceived police fairness. While studies have clarified specific pathways in the instrumental and expressive models, a comprehensive examination of all three models remains sparse in the field of criminal justice. Furthermore, existing studies rarely examined the multilevel causal structures of these models. This study aims to address these limitations by examining separate and comprehensive multilevel structural equation models (SEMs) of these theoretical frameworks. The data was collected through the multistage stratified random sampling from 12 boroughs of four metropolitan cities in South Korea, and a total of 2040 individuals were interviewed face-to-face. The results of the SEM analyses showed that perceived police fairness was the primary determinant of confidence in the police in South Korea, while fear of crime, perceived police effectiveness, and perceived social cohesion had a limited effect. Policy implications and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
