However, it is unclear how the police are affected by community members’ behaviour or hostility in the line of duty.

The cross-sectional survey data were collected from seven police departments in a metropolitan jurisdiction in South Korea (n = 458).

BBC 7/12/2024 News Measuring “what matters” in 21st-century policing: partnering with civilian oversight to assess procedurally just policing in Philadelphia Police oversight bodies routinely audit body-worn camera (BWC) footage for binary policy compliance (e.g., Was the camera activated per policy?), and police performance assessments traditionally focus on quantifiable outputs. In both cases, the ‘process domain’ that reflects service quality is largely ignored, resulting in impoverished metrics. In partnership with the Philadelphia Police Department and the Citizens Police Oversight Commission, we conducted a systematic social observation (SSO) of BWC footage from 233 randomly selected traffic stops to evaluate a protocol for measuring procedurally just policing (PJP). Rater consistency and validity assessments showed that coders provided reliable ratings, capturing elements of participation, dignity/respect, and trustworthy motives, with lower correlations for neutrality. Mean PJP scores varied with suspect tone, supporting predictive validity and aligning with procedural justice theory. The PJP protocol enables oversight entities to assess service quality and alignment with democratic policing values, though refinements are needed to address the range of police–citizen interactions. We discuss our findings and their implications for automation.

RTÉ (Republic of Ireland) 6/12/2024 News The Evolution of the Measurement of Rape and Sexual Assault Over 50 Years: Milestones, Definitions, Operationalizations, and Classifications For the past 50 years, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) has been committed to improving crime victimization estimates through three crime surveys: the National Crime Survey (1972–1991), National Crime Victimization Survey (1992–2023), and the redesigned National Crime Victimization Survey (2024–present). This article explores the progression of how rape and sexual assault (RSA) have been measured across these surveys, highlighting key milestones, legislative impacts, and measurement changes. The key aspects include the transformation of sexual victimization definitions, the focus on behaviors and tactics in the type of crime classification, and the expansion from solely measuring rape to a broader spectrum of RSA. The dedication to refining RSA screening and classification methods through extensive testing and evaluation is evident. This evolution demonstrates BJS’s ongoing efforts to produce accurate RSA estimates and adapt to changing societal and legislative contexts.
