Policing Insight 16/12/2020 Feature, Opinion Comparative Perceptions: How Female Officers in Two Australian Police Organizations View Policing of Diverse People Male officers outnumber female officers in most police organizations, therefore most of the extant policing literature regarding policing of diverse people is dominated by the perceptions of male officers. As such this research conducted a comparative analysis between female officers employed in two different Australian state police organizations regarding their perceptions of policing diverse people. Using an identical online survey, and applying elements of Procedural Justice Theory and Social Identity Theory, female officers (N = 1794) responded to a series of items regarding their perceptions of fairness of treatment, following operational guidelines, perceptions of police engagement, and level of trust in people, when policing diverse people. They were also asked about their sense of identity as a police officer, and perceptions of inclusion within each respective police organization. Results from this study suggest significant differences can be found between the ranks of female officers within each organization, and comparatively between officers employed in each organization regarding their perceptions of policing diverse people. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 16/12/2020 Research article Improving Policing Through Better Analysis: An Empirical Assessment of A Crime Analysis Training and Enhancement Project Within An Urban Police Department The ability to conduct sound crime analysis has become a necessity in contemporary policing. This is due to the central role that analysis plays in modern police practices, as well as improved technological capabilities. Yet, many police departments struggle with the development of their inhouse analytical abilities; and existing evaluation literature offers little guidance given the void of scholarly attention on this topic. This study represents one of the first outcome assessments of an effort to improve crime analysis functions within an urban police department. Pre and post analyst knowledge tests surrounding training sessions indicated a 25 to 53% improvement. Further, an approximated before-after assessment of police administrator behavior found that use of analytical work products significantly increased, to being used ‘about 1 to 2 times per week’ on average. This signified a demonstrable improvement in the integral use of data derived information in the performance of policing operations.
