The Leader 25/11/2020 News Dominance Analysis of Police Legitimacy’s Regressors: Disentangling the Effects of Procedural Justice, Effectiveness, and Corruption This article examines the relative influence of procedural justice, effectiveness, and corruption in shaping police legitimacy across 26 European countries. The emerging statistical technique of dominance analysis overcomes multicollinearity issues, common in legitimacy models, and ranks by salience a dozen individual-level and country-level antecedents of police legitimacy. Most notably, the two indicators of corruption and a classic measure of procedural justice explained nearly equal portions of the variance of legitimacy across a sub-set of Europe’s most stable and prosperous democracies. A greater role for effectiveness among the transitioning states in Europe offers support for similar findings in the Global South. Europe-wide, procedural justice, police effectiveness, and corruption were three pillars contributing most of legitimacy’s explained variance. The findings suggest police chiefs in developed and transitioning countries must find paths that promote procedural justice while also pursuing innovation to address the public’s strong concerns for police effectiveness and police corruption.

It provides an analysis of how suspects responded and behaved during the interviews and considers how suspects’ responses may be affected by contextual characteristics including the presence of legal advisors. It was found that fewer suspects admitted these serious offences in comparison to previous studies, with most suspects who did admit doing so early on in the interview. The majority of suspects’ responses were identified as ‘relevant’, only a very small proportion of interviews were assessed as ‘challenging’. Significant associations between suspects’ responses and context were found. Specifically, if the (alleged) victim was female, the location of the offence was in-doors, and there was no clear motive; then, suspects were more likely to say ‘no comment’ than to respond relevantly. Suspects who were 32 years of age or over, and had previous criminal convictions, were more likely to respond ‘relevantly’ than say ‘no comment’. The study also found that whilst present in the majority of interviews, the contributions of legal advisors were minimal (though more frequent legal advisor contributions were associated with the increased use of police strategies). Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 25/11/2020 Research article Post-Traumatic Effects in Policing: Exploring Disclosure, Coping and Social Support This study explored the relationships between traumatic events experienced at work and police officer distress disclosure, enacted coping, including social support seeking, and impairment. A total of 266 web surveys were completed by sworn officers from a large municipal police force in Canada with 76 reporting having experienced at least one traumatic event at work in the year prior to the survey. The most significant finding was the relationship between officers feeling comfortable disclosing distressing personal information and seeking social support from others, although social support did not relate to their impairment. Reported attempts to cope on their own (self-coping) and to avoid the issue (avoidant coping) were positively related to impairment suggesting that these forms of coping are less effective for police officer work-related trauma. Implications for future research and practice for coping and social support in police occupations are discussed.
