The Northern Farmer 10/10/2019 News Exploring Variation in Police Perceptions of De-Escalation: Do Officer Characteristics Matter? Though de-escalation has become popular in policing, there is very little research on the topic. We know virtually nothing about what it is, whether it works, or even how officers perceive de-escalation. The authors surveyed over 100 officers in the Tempe (AZ) Police Department regarding their perceptions of de-escalation, including tactics used to peacefully resolve potentially violent encounters, the frequency of use, and their perceptions of de-escalation training. We examine perceptions overall, as well as by officer race/ethnicity and sex. Findings suggest that officers view de-escalation through a lens defined by their authority and officer safety. They use certain tactics multiple times each shift. Officers are open to de-escalation training but are skeptical about its impact on citizen encounters. Lastly, minority and female officers use certain tactics more often than white male officers. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications for the larger debate on de-escalation in policing. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 10/10/2019 Research article Extracting Benefits From Standardization of Digital Forensic Practices Standardization offers consistencies for interoperability between jurisdictions and organizational entities. In some instances, accreditation and certification services are available to assure the reputational transfer of conformance and the compliance with best practice requirements. The impact of these benefits is a more predictable environment in which to deliver sensitive and high-risk services, leading to the reduction in failures and the enhancement of inter-party trust. In this article, the case of international standardization for digital forensic and related services is articulated as an example of structured planning for robust processes and practices that have user trust. Political and economic expediency has always reduced the implementation of standardization to functional attributes and short-term returns. The advocacy is for the long-term investment in standardization and the creation of trusted practices for predictable and robust scientific procedures in the transfer of operational knowledge and the preservation of digital evidences. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 10/10/2019 Research article The Comparative Analysis of European National Police Systems: A Theoretical and Methodological Proposal For A New Research Agenda The analysis of national police systems is the core subject of several sociological and criminological scholarly papers. This analysis, however, especially when carried out comparatively, has been relatively neglected in political science, leaving important questions unanswered. If law enforcement systems are at the core of a legitimate violence apparatus within modern states, what structural–political factors can determine the differences and the similarities among different national contexts? And how can they be explored? This article aims to fill this gap by developing a theoretical framework and a methodological proposal that facilitate the development of a political science new research agenda. At the theoretical level, this article investigates the long–term organizational features that have shaped the original models of the organizational field underpinning the various European national police systems, which have the ability to persistently affect the development of those police systems. At the methodological level, this article seeks to define a typological instrument that can determine the differences and the similarities among different national police systems in today’s European democracies, as well as their evolutionary features, within a comparative analytical framework. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 10/10/2019 Research article Total Recall?: A Quasi-Experimental Study of Officer’s Recollection in Shoot – Don’t Shoot Simulators Using a quasi-experimental design, the present work seeks to answer whether officer recollection is more precise if they are interviewed moments after a stressful incident (experimental group), compared to officers who are questioned three days after the event (control group). Police officers were exposed to a video simulation of a suspicious male that required either a shoot or don’t shoot outcome. The scenario lasted less than 30 seconds. The timing of questioning does not have a significant effect on the accuracy of memory recall. Still, the experimental group have a higher percent of correct answers than officers in the control group. Further, accuracy of memory recall does significantly differ by threat type. Officers tend to remember a higher percent of threat details than non-threat details. Implications of these findings are discussed, particularly in relation to the contemporary use of body-worn cameras in policing.
