Police Oracle - Subscription at source 3/3/2025 News “This is not a scam!”: Assessment of an awareness raising program tackling older adults’ scam victimization in a multi-method study Interactive theatre has long been used to educate and empower communities and prevent crime across all age groups. Although older populations are disproportionately victimized through fraudulent online schemes, effective educational interventions, like interactive theatre, have not been utilized to increase crime awareness. This paper describes an explorational research project, analyzing the results of a theatre-based fraud awareness program aimed towards educating victims and their communities about scams targeting older people. The study employs a mixed method research design to examine program impact. In applying multifaceted tools of data collection, such as survey, participant observation, and follow-up interviews, the research team identified program effects, and age-specific appropriateness of the intervention. To close, we synthesized recommendations for program development. Qualitative Criminology 3/3/2025 Research article Evaluations of procedural justice: what drives practitioners’ support for interview procedures? An online experimental survey examined the degree to which 377 international practitioners endorsed procedural justice principles in interviews. Participants were recruited through policing and intelligence agencies in 15 countries in the Asia Pacific and Europe. One section of the survey was administered as a 3 (Coercion: coercive, non-coercive, mixed) x 2 (Crime Harm: high, low) between-subjects experiment to test effects on practitioners’ evaluations of an interview vignette. We predicted that coercion and crime harm would interact to affect procedural evaluations, with tolerance of coercive procedures when the harm caused by a crime was high but not when crime harm was low. We also expected the effect of coercion on procedural evaluations to be mediated primarily by practitioner perceptions that the interview procedure would effectively gather useful information. Counter to these predictions, findings indicated that this sample of experienced practitioners strongly favoured non-coercive interview strategies, and their satisfaction with these procedures was driven equally by perceptions that these procedures were respectful of the detainee and effective in gathering useful information, and less strongly driven by perceptions that the detainee was treated as they deserved. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for best practice in investigative interviewing.
