Policing Insight 28/4/2021 Advertisement, Feature Policing the Covid-19 Pandemic: Police Officer Well-Being and Commitment to Democratic Modes of Policing Police organisations have a wealth of experience in responding to emergencies, but COVID-19 is unprecedented in terms of the speed, scale and complexity of developing doctrine and its implementation by officers. The crisis also threw into sharp relief the fact that police policy and, crucially, practice are always implemented within wider social, political and economic contexts. Using online survey data collected from 325 police officers based at forces operating across different UK contexts (cities, conurbations, towns and rural areas), we seek to understand officer experiences and perceptions of policing COVID-19. In particular, we examine whether (internally) organisational climate and (externally) the UK government’s response to COVID-19 were important to (a) officers’ support for police use of force at times of emergency, (b) officer’s support for procedurally just policing at times of emergency, and (c) their health and well-being; and whether identification and perceptions of self-legitimacy mediate the associations between these variables. Policing and Society - Registration at source 28/4/2021 Research article Who Is At-Risk? An Examination of the Likelihood and Time Variation in the Predictors of Repeated Police Misconduct Increasing transparency and accountability in policing is a top priority for police administrators, community groups, academics, and many others. The internal affairs process is an accountability tool designed to hold officers and agencies accountable to the citizens they serve, yet very little is known about the effect of internal investigative units on such outcomes as subsequent complaints and temporal distances between complaints. This current study examines two critical aspects of the internal affairs process, the likelihood of subsequent complaints and temporal distance between the first and a subsequent complaint of misconduct. Officers’ complaint data were collected from the internal affairs unit of a large, metropolitan police agency in the southwestern United States. Results indicate that a longer time to initial complaint and regional patrol assignment were related to a reduced likelihood of receiving future complaints. Moreover, of those officers who received a subsequent complaint after their initial complaint, more than half did so within the first year, and 94% did so within the first three years of receiving their initial complaint. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings on policy and training opportunities, supervision, mentoring, accountability, and Early Intervention (EI) systems. Police Quarterly - Registration at source 28/4/2021 Research article Public Perspectives of Interventions Aimed At Building Confidence in the Nigerian Police: A Systematic Review Police-public relations in Nigeria has been marred by issues of distrust, torture and violence. This study adopts a systematic review to fill a gap on the interventions relied on to improve public trust for the police in Nigeria and public perspectives of these interventions. 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. Informed by the principles of thematic analysis, it was found that there were scepticism, lack of trust, and perceived ineffectiveness of community policing interventions. The review recommends community-informed randomised controlled trial interventions in tandem with the police in order to foster public trust and legitimacy for the police.

Police Professional 28/4/2021 News Burnout in Police Officers From Northern Mexico: A Validity Study of the Maslach Burnout Inventory Multiple levels of risks threat police officers and others’ safeties. From monitoring social events to responding to criminal actions, officers’ abilities to cope to stress are in challenged constantly. Stressful events continuously impact officers’ physical and emotional well-being in detriment of acquiring healthy behaviors or of caring for their physical or mental hygiene. When police activities are neglected or receive negative social perceptions as it occurs in Mexico, it results imperative to explore strategies to overcome the development of illness intrinsically associated to the execution of work activities. This study contributes to the police well-being literature by assessing the appropriateness of using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in Mexico. Working on data collected from police officers from northern Mexico, psychometric and statistical analysis were conducted to evaluate (1) the appropriateness of using the MBI on these professionals and (2) levels of burnout and their associations to gender and age. Results support considering the MBI as a valid and reliable tool to evaluate burnout symptoms in Mexican officers. Gender and age did not associate significantly to burnout symptomatology. The use of the MBI is recommended to research and explore burnout symptomatology in Mexican officers as strategy to promote mental health programs.
