Policing Insight - Subscription at source 20/11/2025 Analysis, Feature How trust and prevention drive Iceland’s policing strategy (Part 2) In the second part of our exclusive three-part series, PolicingTV speaks with Iceland’s National Commissioner of Police, Sigríður Björk Guðjónsdóttir. She shares how Iceland’s police force balances an extraordinary range of responsibilities—from armed response to national security, civil emergency planning to public protection—and the vital role of community collaboration, prevention, and trust-building in a modern policing model. Commissioner Guðjónsdóttir also reflects on efforts to increase gender and cultural diversity in policing, and why issues of equality and inclusion are central to public safety—not “soft” topics, but hard strategic imperatives.

PolicingTV 20/11/2025 Interview, Opinion, Video The Intersection of Race and Gender: Exploring Racial and Ethnic Minority Women’s Decision to Pursue (and Not Pursue) a Policing Career The representation of women in policing has remained stagnant since the early 1990s, with many agencies still struggling to diversify. This study explores factors influencing women’s decisions to pursue or avoid policing careers. Survey data from 171 female criminal justice majors at a southern HBCU showed that age, prior police contact, and trust in police shaped interest in the field. Additionally, we found altruism, career advancement, job excitement, benefits, and a desire to fight crime were top motivators. Deterrents included perceptions of bias, injury risk, low salary, better opportunities elsewhere, and gender discrimination. Suggestions for improving recruitment efforts are discussed.

BBC 20/11/2025 News Examining the impact of childhood sexual abuse victimisation on adolescent offending outcomes AUSTRALIA: Child sexual abuse (CSA) is associated with a wide array of long-term problematic outcomes, including juvenile offending. Specifically, victims of CSA are believed to be at a heightened risk of perpetrating sexual harm themselves, but gaps remain in knowledge about how CSA and sexual offending are connected for juveniles, particularly in the Australian context. This study used both administrative youth justice data and clinical information derived from a specialised service providing interventions to youth who perpetrate sexual offences to examine the links between sexual victimisation experiences and sexual offending among Australian youth. Results demonstrated that CSA victimisation was more prominent in the developmental histories of young people who perpetrate sexual offences than in those with non-sexual offences. Further, CSA typically co-occurred with other forms of maltreatment and adverse developmental experiences, highlighting the complexity of presenting difficulties. Analysis of assessment outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males who experienced CSA victimisation demonstrated that pathways leading to sexual offending were marked by the accumulation of individual and systemic vulnerabilities (eg childhood impoverishment, ruptured relationships and exposure to criminogenic environments). Taken together, these findings highlight the need for early intervention to prevent the emergence of sexual harm and the need to develop specific intervention approaches for Indigenous youth that are designed and led by Indigenous communities, in conjunction with wider systemic reforms.
