After working in intelligence, crime prevention and as a family liaison, Andy was appointed the head of Firearms licensing for North Yorkshire Police in September 2019 as a temporary Inspector. His area of North Yorkshire has one of the largest numbers of certificate holders in the country (approximately 20000) spread across one of the biggest geographical areas, so operating securely and efficiently remains a constant challenge for his team. We caught up with Andy to discuss how he has adapted his operation during COVID-19 with the support of Microsoft Teams, and how he sees this continuing beyond the pandemic. National Enabling Programmes 22/6/2020 Feature What the Coronavirus has taught us about community policing It is of course now well-trodden ground to observe that this is an unprecedented time for policing across the world. While there have been pandemics in the past, none have affected the global population in quite this way before and thus brought similar global policing challenges to bear all at once. In many countries police forces find themselves with a responsibility to enforce extreme restrictions on freedom of movement, often at short notice and with no direct prior learning on which to draw.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 22/6/2020 Analysis, Feature Patrolling the Borders: Experience With Multiple Out-Group Members Is Associated With the Own-Ethnicity Effect The own-ethnicity effect (OEE) is a recognition deficit for faces of other ethnic groups compared to one’s own group. Thirty-two border patrol (i.e., police) officers at a major international airport expected to have high frequency contact with multiple other ethnic group faces were compared with 32 bank employees and 64 students. German participants viewed out-group faces of African Americans, Mexican Americans/Mexican Nationals, and Turkish faces and German (in-group) faces in a standard recognition and a delayed-matching task. Generally, performance was better as a function of self-reported daily job contact for both tasks. Patrol officers were better with Black faces, while students were better with German faces for the standard recognition task. Although an OEE was present for all groups, it was attenuated for border patrol officers. Job contact with multiple out-groups was associated with face processing. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 22/6/2020 Research article Assessing A Multidimensional Model of Police Legitimacy in South Korea With Latent Class Analysis There are few validated scales for police legitimacy, and the ambiguous dimensionality of legitimacy raises a serious issue. This study tests a multidimensional scale of legitimacy, drawing upon the police legitimacy model. To identify a certain number of classes with a similar pattern of hypothesized legitimacy among a nationally representative sample of South Korean adults, we employed latent class analysis that legitimacy researchers have yet to consider. The current study found that police legitimacy was constituted with the four sub-dimensions of lawfulness, procedural fairness, police effectiveness, and equitable distribution of police sanctions. South Korean adults within the four multidimensional legitimacy scales were separated into three clusters: the legal procedure-oriented group (41.6%), the equitable sanction-oriented group (20.8%), and the cynic-oriented group (37.6%). Journal of Crime and Justice - Registration at source 22/6/2020 Research article Still An ‘invisible Crime’? Exploring Developments in the Awareness and Control of Human Trafficking in Scotland In 2010 Korin Lebov published her article ‘Human trafficking in Scotland’, a state-of-the-field piece that reported on the nature and extent of human trafficking and the challenges in tackling this issue. Several important developments have occurred in the period since, including new enforcement measures, the first prosecutions and convictions for human trafficking in Scottish courts, the establishment of a dedicated policing unit within Scotland’s new police service to tackle such crimes, the passage of specific human trafficking legislation through the Scottish Parliament, and, as a direct result of this legislation, the publication of a bespoke strategy by the Scottish Government to take action against human trafficking and support victims. This article draws upon the findings of a qualitative research study exploring the community impact of organized crime in Scotland and, in doing so, refracts advances in both public awareness of human trafficking and the policing response to this issue through the analytical prism of ‘invisible crimes’. Ultimately, it traces the path of human trafficking from a peripheral and largely ‘invisible’ phenomenon to becoming a core issue of concern in Scotland’s policing and community safety landscape.
