Policing Insight - Subscription at source 29/6/2020 Analysis, Feature Criminal Investigation in Rural Areas: How Police Detectives Manage Remoteness and Resource Scarcity This article addresses how rural environments characterized by remoteness impact the work of police detectives in their casework. It reports on an ethnographic study of two investigative departments (working on volume crime and domestic crime) located in Northern Sweden. Interviews (N = 27) and participant observations (N = 56) were conducted in order to examine how investigators approached and managed rural conditions in their daily work. Findings indicate that police investigations in rural areas are characterized by constraints, such as resource shortages, extended set-up times (due to travelling), and challenges in multitasking. The findings identify two main practices for investigating crime in such settings: ‘rural investigation’ that entails a decentralized approach in which investigators are embedded locally; and ‘investigating the rural’ that entails a distanced, centralized approach. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 29/6/2020 Research article The Wellbeing of UK Police: A Study of Recorded Absences from Work of UK Police Employees Due to Psychological Illness and Stress Using Freedom of Information Act Data Policing is undoubtedly a dangerous occupation whereby officers are routinely exposed to dangerous and potentially traumatic events, such as attending road traffic collisions, informing people of the death of a loved one, and ensuring public safety at football matches. Frontline policing is of course not the only place whereby constant exposure to dangerous and distressing incidents can increase the risk of police employees developing emotional and psychological complaints that have serious effects on their ‘wellbeing’, with previous research identifying specific policing areas such as homicide investigation as likely to have negative effects on those doing the investigating. Although to date, research has focused on the wellbeing effects of ‘routine policing’, criminal investigation, and specific events, as yet little is known about the effect on UK police employees wellbeing of ‘doing the job’ in terms of the number of days recorded as absent due to psychological illness, trauma, and stress. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 29/6/2020 Research article Should Police Identities Be Disclosed in Anti-riot Operations Transpiring in Cyprus? A Juxtaposition of Novice and Senior Police Constables’ Perceptions The article sets out to examine the stances of novice and senior Cypriot law enforcers towards the disclosure of their identities in anti-riot operations. For doing so, the input of 201 Cypriot law enforcers into a two-phase cross-sectional study is examined. Unsurprisingly, it is demonstrated that, although by rendering police officers identifiable during crowd controls will unquestionably enhance police legitimacy, senior law enforcers oppose such development (regardless of their gender, rank, length of service, post, and experience). However, this is not reflected in the perceptions of police cadets, whose (only) 1-year service at the police seems to prevent them from following in the footsteps of their senior colleagues. To this end, particular aspects of police culture could have a substantive role in supressing procedural justice, that is transparency and justice in identifying deviant police officers during anti-riot operations European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research 29/6/2020 Research article General and Specific Perceptions of Procedural Justice: Factors Associated With Perceptions of Police and Court Responses to Domestic and Family Violence Improving criminal justice responses to domestic and family violence is a key focus within many policy and practice reforms. The efficacy of police and court responses to domestic and family violence is central because of the role of police as first responders and courts in issuing protection orders, imposing sanctions and ensuring perpetrator cooperation and accountability. To promote compliance and satisfaction with criminal justice outcomes, a large body of research points to the role of procedural justice. This study draws on survey and administrative data from an Australian jurisdiction to examine perceptions of procedural justice in specific domestic and family violence-related encounters. Findings and implications for policy and practice are discussed.
