Times.co.nz 4/3/2025 News Nocturnal policing: a study of public, private and voluntary policing in the night-time economy This article draws attention to the nightlife environment as a peculiar temporal and spatial context through an exploration of public, private and voluntary policing actors’ roles in order maintenance at nighttime. Urban cities with a well-established night-time economy commonly experience intoxication or alcohol-fuelled disorder, anti-social behaviour and perceived unsafety, as well as the involvement of policing agencies striving to manage nightlife areas and nightlife attendees. The present study is situated within the context of urban Oslo, Norway and draws on fieldwork with public, private and voluntary organisations involved in the control of nightlife areas and attendees. Their work is characterised by managing dualities between facilitating for nightlife attendees, navigating intoxication and alcohol-fuelled disorder, identifying vulnerable individuals and situations filled with uncertainty. As such situations receive a particular focus by policing organisations at nighttime, the findings suggest that order maintenance and division of labour between public, private and voluntary agencies are filled with ambiguities specific to the temporal and spatial context of nightlife environments. I find that the policing actors’ management of nightlife attendees’ nuisance receives acceptance to a certain extent, and further argue that disorderly conduct changes during the circadian cycle. Drawing on these insights, I develop the term ‘nocturnal policing’ aiming to capture a temporally conditioned form of order maintenance work in nightlife environments.

Policing Insight 4/3/2025 Advertisement, Feature Bearing the Badge, Battling Inner Struggles: Understanding Suicidal Ideation in Law Enforcement Law enforcement is a demanding profession characterized by high levels of unpredictability, uncontrollability, and frequent exposure to traumatic events, all of which can significantly impact psychological health. While previous studies have explored suicidal ideation among law enforcement personnel, there remains a need for deeper investigation into how factors such as demographics, job position, agency characteristics, and physical and psychological health influence this outcome. In this study, survey data from 883 sworn and professional personnel across eight law enforcement agencies are analyzed using ordered probit regression models. The findings underscore the predominant influence of psychological factors on suicidal ideation, particularly self-reported measures of mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mediation analysis further revealed that PTSD diminishes mental health, which in turn exacerbates suicidal ideation. These results highlight the vital role that enhanced mental health plays in reducing suicidal ideation and underscore the importance for law enforcement agencies to prioritize staff wellness by implementing comprehensive wellness programs.
