Whilst some aspects of Vietnamese society have been exposed to academic and international scrutiny in recent decades, policing norms and structures remain opaque. Exploring why this is the case requires interrogation of the intersections of policing, place and the production of policing knowledge. A Southern perspective on policing has dual aims: firstly, to highlight the dynamics which have hidden, limited or excluded some scholarship on policing, and secondly, to provide a framework to understand how police culture and socialisation occur in different structural environments. This article considers how insights from Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a mode of inquiry can facilitate undertaking ethnographic research on policing in sensitive and complex political environments, particularly in the global South. It includes my personal reflections on navigating approval of the research, ethics and access to the field.

Police Professional 23/10/2019 News Immigrants’ Confidence in the Police: An Examination of Generational and Ethnic Differences in the United States As the number of immigrants in the United States grows, the importance of their confidence in the police cannot be understated. This article simultaneously examines the impact of both generational and ethnic differences among immigrants on their confidence in the police. Using a sample of U.S. residents from the World Value Survey (Wave 6, N = 2,232), the results suggest that first-generation immigrants have less confidence in the police than both nonimmigrants and second-generation immigrants. The results also suggest a generational and ethnic effect with second-generation immigrants of Hispanic/Latino origin reporting a lower level of confidence in the police than other ethnic immigrant groups. The importance of these findings is discussed in light of both scholarly and policy implications. International Criminal Justice Review - Registration at source 23/10/2019 Research article The Measurement of Legitimacy: A Rush to Judgment? In an important article on the methodological issues surrounding measuring of police legitimacy, Jackson and Bradford (Asian Journal of Criminology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11417-019-09289-w, 2019) adequately warn against the use of confirmatory factor analysis as an adjudication tool for differentiating the possible sources and constituent components of police legitimacy. However, in the process of arguing against the Sun et al.’s (Asian Journal of Criminology, 13, 275–291, 2018) measure of legitimacy, they inadvertently bring attention to a more foundational issue—How should scientists conduct research and test theories in various cultures? Furthermore, their argument against the alternative measuring of police legitimacy elucidates an extensive problem facing criminology—they have brought attention paid to the interrogation of operationalizing key constructs within criminology. We argue that Jackson and Bradford’s (2019) critiques of Sun et al.’s (2018) modeling and subsequent testing of police legitimacy in China are a bit overstated. Additionally, we contend that testing theories, such as police legitimacy, across cultures should be conducted both top-down and bottom-up—neither are necessarily contradictory. We urge readers to be the ultimate amicus curiae because this issue is not a concretely right-or-wrong type issue.
