Reuters 11/6/2020 News Influences on Understanding of A Verbally Presented Police Caution Amongst Adults Involved in the Criminal Justice System: A Systematic Review This review systematically examines the literature exploring comprehension of a verbally presented police caution and the suggested factors influencing this, amongst adults within the criminal justice system. An electronic literature search returned 438 titles, with screening leaving 13 articles considered appropriate for the review question. The majority of these were USA studies, with two UK and two Canadian studies. Heterogeneous study methodologies permit only a narrative approach to pooling the data. Findings indicate that a considerable proportion of this population have difficulty fully understanding the caution. Higher IQs and verbal comprehension are positively associated with performance. The studies also indicate that some factors that may appear intuitively related to comprehension, such as prior caution exposure, education, age and mental health, may not be linked to performance. The literature generally used broad inclusion criteria, which increased potential for confounders and reduced opportunity to draw out probable predictors. Psychiatry Psychology and Law - Registration at source 11/6/2020 Research article Attitudinal Changes Toward Body-Worn Cameras: Perceptions of Cameras, Organizational Justice, and Procedural Justice Among Volunteer and Mandated Officers Little is known about officer perceptions of body-worn cameras (BWCs), and whether perceptions change following implementation within their agencies. BWC deployment varies, with some agencies mandating officers to wear BWCs and others using volunteers. Researchers have yet to assess attitudinal differences between volunteers and mandated officers. This study addresses these gaps using data from an evaluation of BWCs in the Phoenix Police Department to examine officer perceptions of the utility of BWCs, perceptions of organizational justice, and support for using procedural justice. We use inverse propensity weighted difference-in-difference models to examine changes in officer perceptions over time between randomly selected officers who were mandated to wear a BWC, BWC volunteers, officers who resisted BWCs, and control officers. We identified limited significant differences in perceptions of BWCs over time, though effect sizes suggest that BWC volunteers and mandated officers were more subdued in their expectations about BWCs at the posttest. Police Quarterly - Registration at source 11/6/2020 Research article Understanding Citizen Satisfaction With the Police: Results From A Community Survey Over the last few decades, law enforcement has come to value aspects of its role as essential to its crime-fighting capacity, including legitimacy, procedural justice, quality of life matters, and partnership with the community. While evolving law enforcement strategies have improved crime control, many departments still strive to enhance satisfaction among community members while balancing crime control and community-oriented approaches. Citizen satisfaction with police has been found to promote community buy-in and participation in identifying and addressing both criminal and non-criminal matters. Predictors of citizen satisfaction with law enforcement, however, have generally been assessed in larger, urban contexts. This study extends the literature on community-oriented policing approaches and citizen satisfaction by exploring survey results from a mid-sized U.S. city. Aside from demographic factors, levels of satisfaction with police were predicted by citizens’ perceptions of procedural justice, safety, crime, and disorder. Results suggest that police departments attend closely to fostering procedurally just interactions with citizens. Additional implications for scholarship and police practice are included.
