Police Professional 20/7/2020 News Policing Domestic Violence: Strategy, Competence, Training An effective implementation of domestic violence (DV) strategy and policy requires well-trained and competent employees. The article describes the DV training provisions offered for the basic degree police students in IMPRODOVA partner countries (Austria, France, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Scotland, and Slovenia). Contents and subject matters of available training courses and curricula are assessed in relation to policy recommendations, especially the Istanbul Convention. Results show that competencies that are relevant in identifying, intervening and preventing DV are usually presented to students in the context of more general courses. Policing of DV is rarely offered explicitly as a special course, or a clearly defined section in a larger module. Most of the important subject matters of DV, such as the needs of the victims, equality and human rights, are covered well in most classes. However, DV risk assessment is commonly introduced later in specialist courses. Even though generic policing competencies form the foundation and have a wide applicability in various situations, including DV encounters, there is a danger that students do not acquire a comprehensive understanding of DV if DV-related information is scattered all over the curriculum and not presented as a whole. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 20/7/2020 Research article The Emergence and Evolution of Lesbian and Gay Police Associations in Europe For nearly 30 years, LGBT police associations have been working within police agencies to create better working conditions for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) officers and staff as well as to improve relations between the agencies and LGBT communities. The exploratory research examines the formation, structure, and impact of these associations on police agencies throughout Europe. Based on focus group and survey data from eight lesbian and gay police associations in Europe, this research highlights unique and common elements of their evolution and articulates a path forward to stay relevant in ever-changing political and social environments. Based on the data gathered, there appear to be opportunities to expand the efforts of these associations to include more visibility and open interactions with local LGBT communities. Through collective action and support via the European LGBT police association, current lesbian and gay police associations could be utilized to realize and expand LGBT police associations in other parts of Europe and beyond.

Policing Insight 20/7/2020 News Interagency Cooperation: Building capacity to manage domestic abuse (IMPRODOVA Project) The cooperation of agencies as first responders to domestic abuse has attracted increased interests among researchers. Recent international guidelines, particularly the Istanbul Convention, prescribe such networking between law enforcement, local support agencies, social services, health care and other relevant professionals as a precondition for improved response towards crimes committed in families and intimate relationships. The article describes the urgency to combat domestic abuse by means of interagency cooperation, and continues with a description of the Istanbul Convention, and explains the basic dimensions of such cooperation, e.g., concerning referrals between responder agencies. The article concludes with a brief overview of present research activities in the field by a project carried out by 16 partners. The project ‘IMPRODOVA’ runs from 2018 to 2021 and is funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 programme. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 20/7/2020 Research article Past, Present and Future Trends of Europol’s Evolution in the European Law Enforcement Cooperation While Interpol has literally dominated in the field of international police cooperation, in the beginning of the 1990s Europol has emerged to complement and reinforce the then existing law enforcement cooperation at European level. Since then, Europol has remarkably evolved both strategically and operationally, though within a complex and diverse European legal, political and law enforcement framework. This study provides an in depth analysis of Europol’s evolution through major political adversities and law enforcement constraints inextricably connected, while it also examines the impact of the principle of national sovereignty that has deeply affected Europol’s establishment and its operational evolution to date. It concludes with quoting concrete remarks and concerns on Europol’s current situation and its potential in combating international organized crime and terrorism. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 20/7/2020 Research article Citizens’ Trust in the Police and Police Trust-Building Strategies Trust in the police is a topic of both scientific and practical relevance. It is therefore surprising that research has so far neglected the police perspective on trust. This article reports on an international comparative attempt to address this issue by not just studying trust in the police, but also police trust-building strategies. Through the notion of a dialogue between citizens and the police, two empirical halves of the study reflected the citizen perspective on trust and the police perspective, respectively. The research was guided by three theoretical traditions: proximity policing, instrumentalism, and procedural justice. The first part of the study aimed to compare a large number of European countries in terms of trust and its determinants. Results showed that trust in the police was mostly determined by procedural justice (or rather, procedural injustice) and that crime rates were unrelated to trust. The relationship between proximity policing and trust was inconclusive. The second empirical part of the study concentrated on police trust-building strategies in England and Wales, Denmark, and the Netherlands, tracing continuities and discontinuities over the span of several decades. Police trust-building strategies are shaped and influenced by a wide variety of factors and actors, showing that public trust in the police is only one aspect of a much larger complex in which context, events and agency play essential roles. This shows that citizens’ trust in the police and police trust-building strategies are subject to fundamentally different logics, seriously complicating the dialogue between the police and the public.
