Police Oracle - Subscription at source 6/9/2020 News Scambaiter Narratives of Victims and Offenders and Their Influence on the Policing of Fraud Scambaiters have emerged as a proactive means to targeting fraud offenders. Put simply, scambaiters act as an incapacitator, seeking to deliberately engage fraud offenders to waste their time and reduce their communication with genuine victims. For some, this is a deliberate act of vigilantism that seeks to respond in a way that authorities (such as police) cannot. This article uses a well-known scambaiter website, 419eater, to examine how scambaiters present narratives of fraud victims and fraud offenders. It argues that victims are positioned as vulnerable and undeserving of their victimization, while offenders are positioned as rational beings and as a criminal ‘other’. This last narrative is used to justify the behaviour of scambaiters towards alleged fraud offenders. Overall, this article argues that while both narratives are based largely on facts, the interpretation and use of these narratives (particularly the offender narrative) are problematic in terms of a broader discussion around the policing of online fraud and cyber vigilantism. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 6/9/2020 Research article Women Police Stations: Have They Fulfilled Their Promise? Women police stations (WPS) are recognized as an important component of gender-sensitive policing for dealing with domestic violence (DV). These stations have been established in many developing countries to serve two main purposes: to deal better with crimes against women and to provide a rewarding career for women officers. This paper examines whether WPS have met these expectations. At a time when other countries are thinking about introducing WPS, it is important to validate best practices and identify shortcomings for better use of police and public resources in dealing with DV and other crimes against women. We describe the structure and functioning of the stations based on interviews, review pertinent studies and analyze official data to explain the role of the WPS in empowering victims; improving their access to justice; reducing victimization and increasing the representation of women in policing. Theory, policy and research implications are discussed.
