Policing Insight - Subscription at source 18/2/2020 Analysis, Feature Fighting organised crime: Lessons to learn from how Italy tackles the mafia Dr Felia Allum argues that perhaps a new approach is needed to fight organised crime – one that is less centred around the moment a crime is committed, and takes a wider view of the membership and organisational structures of the groups behind those crimes.

Policing Insight 18/2/2020 Feature, Opinion Following Their Lead: Police Perceptions and Their Effects on Crime Prevention This study examines the effect that individuals’ perceptions of police have on their adoption of crime prevention measures. Unlike past research that conceptualized police perceptions as inversely associated with crime prevention, we introduce a framework that distinguishes between the traditional policing and community policing/procedural justice models. We analyze multilevel data from Canada’s General Social Survey for 13 crime prevention measures (e.g. locking doors, installing burglar alarms), and estimate Item Response Theory models to account for differing levels of difficulty in the implementation of these measures. Results show that the effect of police perceptions on the adoption of crime prevention measures varies by policing model. Residents who have favorable perceptions of the police as to the performance of traditional policing duties are less inclined to take measures against crime. In contrast, those with favorable perceptions of the police as engaging in community policing/procedural justice are more inclined to take such measures.

The Times - Subscription at source 18/2/2020 News Police are too busy chasing PC causes to fight real crime The popular consensus that deep and unprecedented cuts in funding are responsible for the crisis in policing has had the effect of obscuring another damaging issue: the police are losing sight of the actual job in hand, which is to fight crime and keep the streets safe.
