Police Professional 7/3/2025 News Supreme Court decisions and fatal officer-involved shootings Police deadly force is one of the most compelling reform issues in modern law enforcement research. Much of recent scholarship focuses on training and interventions designed to limit its use among police officers, but few studies explore the role of judicial rulings on changes in fatal officer-involved shootings (FOIS). This study broadens deadly force research by examining whether key Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) rulings (Garner, Graham, and Scott) impacted deadly force patterns over the last 40 years. Using monthly time series data from the Supplemental Homicide Reports and National Vital Statistics Survey, this study finds little evidence to support the idea SCOTUS decisions correspond with profound changes in FOIS over the last 40 years, with one exception: Garner significantly reduced the monthly incident rate of police killings under the subcircumstances of suspect fleeing or resisting arrest. These results point to the importance of administrative policy and theoretically informed evidence-based training to curtail FOIS. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 7/3/2025 Research article Information analysis in criminal investigations: methods, challenges, and computational opportunities processing unstructured text In criminal investigations, information is often overlooked due to the manual analysis of vast amounts of text, and the lack of a framework for information analysis. In this paper, we aim to present such a framework by unveiling an experience-based approach derived from the National Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos) in Norway. This framework comprises categorization, thematization and exploration. Through analysis of 742,135 investigative tasks, we find that the major information sources are Interviews and Digital Evidence. From this, the main contribution of this work is a foundation for bridging our framework to computational methods focusing on unstructured text arising from these sources. We map state-of-the-art computational methods within Artificial Intelligence to facilitate the workflow of the proposed framework.
