Irish Examiner (Republic of Ireland) 31/1/2025 News Police chief reacts to funding challenges Lincolnshire Police says it will have to axe more than 400 jobs in order to fill its budget gap ITV News 31/1/2025 News, Video A randomised control trial testing the impact of police reassurance contact on hate crime victim withdrawal Hate crime has an extremely detrimental impact on victims and minority communities. Despite this, the policing response is oft criticised and investigations are characterised by high levels of victim withdrawal. Consequently, offenders are rarely prosecuted. This exposes victims to elevated risk of repeat victimisation and undermines trust in communities with historically limited confidence in the police service. This study reports on a randomised control trial testing whether Secondary Reassurance Contact (SRC), a follow up from a neighbourhood police officer not connected with the investigation, can reduce victim withdrawal of support for a prosecution (attrition) in hate crime investigations. Findings indicate that SRC results in a 12–15% reduction in victim withdrawal. The practical implications are considerable and if scaled nationally SRC may result in tens-of-thousands fewer victims withdrawing support for hate crime investigations each year. SRC therefore offers police decision-makers a tangible and deliverable option to improve hate crime outcomes and to bolster confidence amongst minority communities. The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles 31/1/2025 Research article Police force plans to cut sixth of front line officers despite Labour’s funding pledge Lincolnshire Police draws up proposals to shed 200 officers and a further 200 police staff to cover £14m funding gap The Telegraph - Subscription at source 31/1/2025 News Examining emotion dysregulation within police–community interactions This is a precursor study of de-escalation and non-escalation. Using an interdisciplinary framework, we code emotion dysregulation derived from body-worn camera footage. We then test the influence of individual, situational, and environmental predictors on emotion dysregulation. We apply systematic social observation and systematic social event modeling to body-worn camera footage associated with 568 separate interactions for a small agency in the United States; involving more than 11,000 minutes of contact between police officers and community members. The largest predictor of emotion dysregulation on the part of the officer is dysregulation on the part of the person of interest. Given the role of emotions in decision-making and their largely neglected state in the policing literature, these results demonstrate the utility of drawing upon the rich data contained within body-worn camera footage. Results also highlight contextual factors influencing dysregulation.
