Repeated exposure to stressors, with limited opportunities for support, can compromise emotional well-being and increase the risk of experiencing burnout and suicidal ideation. This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment) and suicidal ideations among Jamaican police officers surveyed in 2017. Jamaican police officers (N = 305) from five major urban divisions completed two self-report questionnaires. The results revealed significant relationships between emotional exhaustion and suicidal ideations (r = .17, p< .01) and depersonalization and suicidal ideations (r = .18, p < .01). However, there was no significant relationship between personal accomplishment and suicidal ideations (p > .01). Implementing programmes that offer access to adaptive coping or stress management skills and social support systems may reduce burnout and decrease risk for suicidal ideation. International Journal of Police Science & Management 1/7/2019 Research article How Do the Components of Procedural Justice and Driver Race Influence Encounter-Specific Perceptions of Police Legitimacy During Traffic Stops? Procedural justice is often recognized as the key antecedent of police legitimacy. However, less is known about how the components of procedural justice, treatment and decision-making quality, influence perceptions of police legitimacy. This study utilizes a 2 × 2 × 2 survey experiment to explore the direct effects of the components of procedural justice, and the moderating effects of driver race, on perceptions of encounter-specific fairness and legitimacy. Results indicate that treatment quality is a more salient predictor of encounter-specific fairness and legitimacy than decision-making quality. In addition, simple effects analyses reveal that driver race moderates perceptions of encounter-specific fairness but not encounter-specific perceptions of legitimacy. The findings imply that police officers should emphasize respectful treatment during encounters with the public.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 1/7/2019 Opinion Examining Police Presence, Tactics, and Engagement As Facilitators of Informal Social Control in High-Crime Areas The systemic model of social disorganization advocates that communities can help regulate disorder and crime by exerting informal social control. This paper examines the avenues through which police might contribute to that social process. Building upon past research, we compare the amount of police presence observed by residents versus residents’ awareness of and satisfaction with police–community engagement and tactics used as mechanisms for promoting safety, confidence in police, and social cohesion, and ultimately informal social control. Results of a structural equation model using data from a panel community survey in 71 high-crime areas suggest that simply seeing the police is not enough. The results suggest that tactics police use in neighbourhoods and most notably, how those strategies are interpreted by residents living there can be a conduit to facilitate social cohesion and informal social control. The results have implications for police resource allocation and best practices in crime hot spots.
