Police Professional - Subscription at source 5/8/2020 Feature Interpreting Eyewitness Confidence: What do you mean when you say, “pretty sure”? When a crime happens, the police put in a lot of effort to find out who did it. If the crime had an eyewitness, they can usually help. The process of gathering eyewitness evidence is complicated, lengthy, and requires a lot of resources. For example, crime scenes need thorough investigation. In addition to physical evidence, interviews and/or interrogations often need to be conducted. Having an eyewitness look at a lineup can be an important step in the course of an investigation and eyewitnesses play a key role in the courts. Asking an eyewitness to view a lineup is common practice, particularly for serious crimes. However, this procedure is not without pitfalls (but more on this later).

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 5/8/2020 Analysis, Feature Covid-19 and Mental Health: An Examination of 911 Calls For Service The purpose of this study was to explore the rate and geographic distribution of 911 calls for service related to mental health issues during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the City of Detroit, MI, USA. The results suggest that the total number of calls for mental health issues was at the lowest level when compared with the same time period for the previous 3 years. Furthermore, as both the daily reported COVID-19 cases and related deaths increased over time, there was a significant decline in both suicide threats and suicides in progress. Significant hot spots were found for the total calls as well as for threats of suicide. These hot spots did not coincide with the spatial distribution of reported cases of COVID-19 by ZIP code. While higher and lower areas of reported cases were found, these differences by ZIP code were not found to be significant. When compared with the previous 3 years of data, the hot spot area was much smaller in 2020, implying that the mental health-related calls for service were more evenly spread throughout the city.

Journal of Criminal Justice Education - Registration at source 5/8/2020 Research article Editorial Introduction to the Special Issue on Policing When we put out a call for a special issue on policing last year, we scarcely could have anticipated the context in which the issue would be released. In recent months, police worldwide have adapted to a pandemic disease, and police in America have faced massive social protests against police violence and misconduct, particularly that directed at Black Americans. Outrage over the egregious killing of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, exacerbated by unjustified police killings in other cities, reignited the protests for police reform from 2014–2015 and amplified them tremendously. Protests against police mistreatment of Black Americans, as well as against other social injustices, have been taking place in thousands of communities across America and around the world. Citizens and policymakers throughout the United States are calling for numerous reforms in police agencies, especially to reduce use of force, strengthen disciplinary practices, and remove unfit officers from the profession. There have also been calls to reduce funding for police agencies, reduce the scope of police responsibilities for noncriminal matters, and even abolish and remake some police agencies.
