Huffington Post 7/8/2020 News Development of Online Professional Development For School Resource Officers: Understanding Trauma, Social-Emotional Learning, Restorative Discipline, and Cultural Diversity School resource officers (SROs) have become increasingly common in schools; however, most states do not require that they have youth- or school-related training (Morris et al. 2017). The intent of this project is to address potential gaps in training through the creation of four online professional development modules for SROs. Each module focused on one of the following: trauma-informed care; social-emotional learning (SEL); restorative problem-solving; and cultural competence. These modules were iteratively developed by applying established paradigms of curriculum development, that included systematic and communicative approaches, adult learning theory principles, and utilization of the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) Model of Systematic Instructional Design. SROs serve as law enforcers, informal counselors, and educators. It is imperative they are provided the opportunity to build their knowledge and develop applicable skills necessary for these roles and for working with students from all backgrounds. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 7/8/2020 Research article Stop and Risk: Policing, Data, and the Digital Age of Discrimination Predictive policing is the newest innovation in the field of law enforcement. Predictive policing programs use algorithms to analyze existing crime data in an attempt to make predictions about future crimes: What crimes are likely to be committed, where crimes are likely to be committed, and a list of potential victims and offenders. Proponents of predictive policing champion the practice as an effective, proactive form of law enforcement that is free from bias due to its data-driven nature. However, as a matter of justice policy, predictive policing is just as discriminatory as traditional police practices, such as stop and frisk: Both are relatively ineffective; both have the potential to disproportionately target minorities; both are challenging forms of surveillance that create several important ethical and legal issues; and both are presented as objective, impartial, and equitable. This article has three primary goals: Highlight the potential and problematic similarities between stop and frisk and predictive policing; present the problems associated with predictive policing, including its questionable effectiveness, biased foundation, and faulty legal and ethical footing; and discuss the ways in which discriminatory criminal justice programs, such as stop and frisk and predictive policing, are presented to the public as objective, non-discriminatory policies. American Journal of Criminal Justice - Registration at source 7/8/2020 Research article Getting Away With Murder: Homicide Clearance By Arrest in Chicago and Its Community Areas This work explores the decline in murder clearances through arrest in Chicago from 1965 through 2015, specifically focusing on the most recent time period since 2001. The findings suggest that clearance by arrest has decreased significantly, that elapsed time is a limited factor in clearing more murders through arrest and that factors associated with clearance by arrest in Chicago have changed over time. These results lead to a discussion on the missing variance that cannot explain murder clearance by arrest as well as future research areas that can explore why many murderers in Chicago are increasingly escaping the justice system.
