Merseyside Police 9/12/2025 News Walking into disaster: how narcotraffickers captured the BVI CARIBBEAN: When the new premier of the British Virgin Islands said he needed an armed security detail, his chief of police knew trouble was on its way The Guardian 9/12/2025 Feature Same but different: a comparative study of police sexual violence victimization of citizens and police officers in South Africa Our study explores the degree of congruence between citizen and police officer experiences of police sexual violence (PSV). We use the content analysis of 327 newspaper stories of police sexual violence (PSV) in South Africa, comparing the experiences of 92 citizens and 27 police officers who were PSV victims. Our analysis implies that police officers who commit PSV tend to “specialize” and focus on one type of victim, be they citizens or fellow police officers. Citizens tend to be more likely to experience rape, while police officers are more likely to experience sexual harassment. Citizens are typically victimised by non-commissioned police officers, while police officers are more likely to be victimised by their supervisors who are either commissioned officers or senior management. The limited information about the criminal process indicates that police officers victimising citizens are more likely to be charged with multiple offences than police officers victimising other police officers.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 9/12/2025 News Ireland’s plan to give Tasers to gardaí is bad policy REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Gardaí need adequate tools and training. But Ireland must learn from international evidence about when Tasers add to safety and when they reduce it. The announcement that 128 gardaí will trial Tasers starting this month in areas already piloting body-worn cameras might seem like a straightforward policy development.
