The police service also has a significant role working with other agencies to ensure the child’s protection and wellbeing, longer term.

The study uses coefficients testing to better examine the issue of racial profiling through the use of a race-specific model. The data for this study come from traffic stops conducted by the Louisville Police Department between January 1 and December 31, 2002. The results show that the three components of focal concerns theory can explain police officer decision making for consent searches. Yet, the components of focal concerns theory play a greater role in stops of Caucasian male drivers. The data for this study are cross-sectional and self-reported from police officers. This paper shows the utility of applying focal concerns theory as a theoretical explanation for police officer decision making on consent searches and how the effects of focal concerns vary depending on driver race. Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies and Management - Registration at source 13/2/2019 Research article Social Context in Police Legitimacy: Giving Meaning to Police/Community Contacts The history of policing in the United States is a history of tension between the police and the public, especially in marginalised communities, where the legitimacy of the police and their interventions has been most questioned. Marginalised and often minority communities often complain about over and under policing, that is, policing that harasses local residents but does not address serious crime. In recent years, concerns with the institutional legitimacy of the police in the US and elsewhere have risen in public discussions and in scientific research. Current models of police legitimacy tend to focus on transactions between the police and the public over matters of procedural justice; however, taking a more contextual view of police interventions in communities provides opportunities to look beyond transactions and sort out the socio-cultural acceptance of the police against the myriad of services they provide to communities. Here we focus on census tracts in Boston, merging calls for service data with perceptual survey data. We find significant differences in the types of police services requested by advantaged and disadvantaged communities. Policing and Society - Registration at source 13/2/2019 Research article Assessing the Validity of Police Integrity Scale in A Comparative Context The current study examines the validity of the police integrity measure created by Klockars et al. (1997, The measurement of police integrity. Washington, DC: National Institute of Justice. pp. 65–70; 2006, The Measurement of Police Integrity. Research in Brief. U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice: Washington, DC: Government Printing Office. Available from: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/181465.pdf). Whereas this theoretical and methodological approach has been used by many scholars across the world, there are no systematic assessments of its validity. We primarily investigate the criterion validity by assessing whether the data on police integrity are appropriately correlated with other independent indicators of integrity. We rely on the descriptive statistics from many prior police integrity studies conducted over the last 20 years and on other nation/state level available sources of data (Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, the International Crime Victimization Survey, the World Value Survey, and the World Governance Indicators). We find relatively robust evidence of criterion validity of the measures, although the strength of this relationship varies across criteria. The theoretical, methodological, and policy implications are discussed. Policing and Society - Registration at source 13/2/2019 Research article Are there more police now?
