This study examined 91 Active Risk Management System (ARMS) assessments from four police areas across England and Wales. ARMS is a tool that guides criminal justice practitioners to assess and develop formal risk management plans based on the risks and strengths of individual clients convicted of sexual offending. This present study is particularly concerned with the application of this new tool and the quality of subsequent risk assessment as a result of police practitioner assessment. Findings indicate the quality of ARMS assessments were not to the expected standard. The study found while there were acceptable levels of detail and evidence documented by practitioners across individual areas; overall, assessor risk ratings and risk management plans were poor. This paper provides an outline of these findings, making suggestions for areas of improvement, along with recommendations for policy, practice, and research. Journal of Sexual Aggression - Registration at source 20/6/2019 Research article Plural Policing As Professional Strife. Municipal Officers and Police Officers in the Netherlands In the past 30 years, the introduction of new providers of policing services has meant that the policing landscape in many countries has changed considerably. In the Netherlands, an important aspect of this ‘pluralization of policing’ is the introduction of municipal officers: new, public officials who are employed by Dutch municipalities. This article discusses how front-line professionals themselves view these changes and the division of labour between the regular police and municipal officers. By interpreting their views as strife and contestation over professional domains and by borrowing concepts from the sociology of professions, it adds a novel perspective to the current debate on plural policing. The article discerns four views, two of which highlight differences and two of which highlight similarities between these professions. In interpreting these views, the article states that officers define their professions mostly by referring to fundamental argumentations about professional core aspects and higher values. This implies the ‘professional projects’ of front-line workers might be as important as their orientation on outside (societal) needs and desires.
