Express & Star 2/12/2025 News The Process-Based Model of Policing Revisited: Examining the Reciprocal Relationship Between Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy Most research on the impact of procedural justice on police legitimacy has relied on cross-sectional data, with limited attention to potential reverse effects. This study examines the reciprocal relationship between procedural justice and police legitimacy (i.e. obligation to obey) over time using cross-lagged panel analysis of three waves of survey data (n = 617) collected largely from crime hot spots in Baltimore, Maryland. Findings showed little evidence that prior perceptions of procedural justice influenced subsequent obligation to obey. However, some evidence of the reverse effect emerged, although it was significant only from Wave 2 to Wave 3, with prior obligation to obey predicting later perceptions of procedural justice. The findings suggest that the widely reported robust effects of procedural justice on police legitimacy may stem from an overreliance on cross-sectional studies. This study highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between procedural justice and police legitimacy.

BBC 2/12/2025 News Life as a firearms officer Insights into what it's like working as a firearms officer specialising in close protection College of Policing 2/12/2025 Feature, Opinion AI in Policing: international lessons and domestic solutions Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is rapidly reshaping public services, and policing is no exception. The pace of innovation, the scale of private sector investment, and the UK Government’s explicit ambition to “mainline AI into the veins of the nation” mean that AI deployment in policing is not a distant prospect but an accelerating reality. This brings significant opportunities: enhanced investigative capability, faster processing of digital evidence, improved risk assessment, and the potential to intervene earlier to prevent harm. Yet it also carries profound risks for human rights, the rule of law, and public trust. The police occupy a uniquely powerful position in our democratic society; integrating AI into that environment without the right safeguards risks entrenching discrimination, undermining lawful decision making, and eroding communities’ confidence in policing. This report asks a central question: what must be in place for AI in policing to be trustworthy, value for money, effective in achieving policing goals, and compliant with human rights and the fair administration of justice? To answer this, JUSTICE carried out international research, examined domestic developments, and convened stakeholders across policing, government, civil society, regulators, academia, and industry. Across this work, five lessons emerged, each of which signals not only what must be done, but the urgency of acting now while the UK remains at a crossroads.
