That’s precisely why NICE Investigate is at the heart of everything BTP is doing to manage its digital evidence ecosystem moving forward. In the first of a series of case-studies highlighting NICE's work with UK police forces, read about how NICE is helping BTP streamline the flow of digital evidence and keep UK railways safe from crime, through digital transformation. Policing Insight 14/6/2022 Advertisement, Feature Urban Revitalization and the Policing of Racial Territoriality The results from several recent studies suggest that police stop rates are elevated in neighborhoods that are gentrified or undergoing gentrification. However, it remains unclear how these findings fit into the well-documented pattern of racialized proactive policing practices, often interpreted through a racial-threat lens. To further our understanding of how of law enforcement relates to gentrification as a racialized institution, I utilize pedestrian stop data from eight cities to analyze the interconnected relationships between neighborhood-level police stops, temporal changes in racial and ethnic composition, and gentrification processes. Results from negative binomial spatial-durbin models reveal that, controlling for local crime levels and other covariates, police stops are more prevalent in neighborhoods that have experienced decreases in black and Latinx populations and in those surrounding gentrified areas. However, because gentrified and gentrifying neighborhoods have experienced relatively larger losses of these minority residents, this relationship appears to be intertwined with processes of urban revitalization.

Toronto Star (Canada) 14/6/2022 News An Exploration of Deterrent and Motivating Factors For Entry Into Policing in Jamaica While the topics of deterrent and motivating factors for entry into the police profession are well researched and documented in North America, Europe, and other jurisdictions, scholarly research on the phenomenon is scarce in the Caribbean. Furthermore, studies utilising qualitative approaches and police recruits to examine motivations and deterrents (barriers) for entry into policing in the Caribbean are even rarer. As a result, this study utilised a qualitative approach to examine potential deterrent and motivating factors for entry into the Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) through the lens of police recruits. Qualitative data were gathered from a cohort of Jamaican police recruits (N = 67) via a qualitative strand that was embedded within a survey instrument to police recruits in 2017 and which formed part of a larger study on policing in the Caribbean. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to determine the major deterrent and motivating factors for entry into the JCF.

Police Professional 14/6/2022 News Homicide Drop in Seven European Countries: General Or Specific Across Countries and Crime Types? This study examines homicide trends in seven European countries – Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland – all of which manifested a substantial drop in homicide mortality between 1990 and 2016. By using data from the European Homicide Monitor, a coding scheme created to enable cross-country comparisons, combined with the national cause-of-death statistics, we explore generality versus specificity of the homicide drop. We examine changes in the demographic structure of victims and offenders and disaggregate homicides by different subtypes of lethal incidents, such as family-related homicides referring to conflicts between family members, and criminal milieu homicides occurring in the context of robberies, gang-related conflicts or organised crime. Results point to the generality of the drop: in most of the countries studied, the declining trend included all homicide types. The overall decline in homicide mortality was driven mostly by the decline in male victimisation and offending. In most of the countries, the gender distribution of victims and offenders changed only slightly during the study period, whereas the development of the distribution of homicide types manifested greater diversity. Our findings illustrate the benefits of disaggregated analyses in comparative homicide research.
