American Journal of Political Science 47: 354-367, 2003, Political Research Quarterly, 58: 187-201, 2005; Sargeant Policing and Society 27: 927-940, 2017). However, most citizens have limited direct interaction with the police (Roberts & Doob Law and Human Behavior 14: 451-468 , 1990; Surette, 2007), justifying research exploring the impact of media consumption on attitudes toward the police. This study examines the impact of news consumption through television, the internet, and social media on confidence in the police across race/ethnicity. The study utilizes a national non-full probability sample of 500 White, Black, and Hispanic/Latinx respondents. Findings suggest that race/ethnicity mediates the relationship between news source and attitudes toward the police. Implications are discussed.

Sky News 7/1/2021 News Digital Evidence Experts in the Law Enforcement Community: Understanding the Use of Forensics Examiners By Police Agencies Mobile phones are often used in criminal enterprises as well as by individual offenders. In criminal cases, almost 80–90% of the cases criminal computer forensic examiners work on are related to child pornography (Nodeland et al. J Crim Justice Educ 30:71–90, 2018). In an effort to fight electronic crime and to collect digital evidence for criminal acts, law enforcement agencies are incorporating the collection of tools for analysis of digital evidence, also known as computer forensics, into their law enforcement infrastructure. Police agencies are challenged with the need to train officers to collect digital evidence and keep up with large and evolving technologies such as computer operating systems and cell phone technologies. Digital evidence is now being used to prosecute all types of crimes. Skilled officers and examiners are needed to examine this critical need in the criminal justice system. This research surveyed 59 (N = 59) Texas police agencies in their use of digital forensic examiners. The findings reflect that numerous agencies often use a part-time police officer/examiner to investigate the digital evidence that comes into the agency that can limit the expertise in the agency. Implications for this research are discussed. Security Journal - Registration at source 7/1/2021 Research article Multisource Evaluation of Policing Competence: the Development of Self- and Supervisor-Rating Scales For Police Recruits Some police departments are responding to changing community needs by promoting a departmental cultural shift, which may involve their training programs. Reliable evaluation tools are needed to capture policing preparedness of graduating probationary officers (P1s) in line with evolving policing theory. The current study examines a multisource evaluation tool that includes P1 self-report and the observed ratings from their field training officers (FTOs) for 679 dyads. Results indicated that both raters grouped items into analogous factor structures, allowing for direct comparisons. P1’s and FTO’s ratings neither agreed nor covaried, and P1s tended to over-rate their preparedness. The psychometric properties of the developed scales were discussed as well as implications for program evaluations. Specifically, P1s and FTOs functioned as unique sources of information who could provide non-redundant perspectives on police preparedness and competency resulting from training. Review of both raters in concert may provide an additional level of potentially useful interpretation.

Given their potential to reach a large audience, online recruitment videos are likely a useful way for police services to recruit applicants. To increase the likelihood of people applying, these videos should focus on issues potential employees consider when making career decisions. A literature review revealed six job factors that people consider when contemplating a potential career. A coding framework focusing on these factors (and their respective sub-categories) was developed and applied to all available recruitment videos created by Canadian policing organizations (N = 37). The coding dictionary could be applied reliably and it revealed that only 23% of the job factors that emerged from the literature review are addressed in the videos and when they are, they are not particularly salient. Ways of using this study to develop more effective, data-driven, police recruitment videos are discussed. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 7/1/2021 Research article Tenuous Relations: Ethnic–racial Cultural and Police Disrespect in Finland The relationship between ethnic–racial cultural communities and the Finnish police is evolving, and relatively little research is available within the criminal justice system that highlights police practices and behaviour towards ethnic and racial cultural in Finland. There is also a lack of scientific certainty about how to assess ethnic and racial cultural’ experiences of fair, unfair and impolite treatment by the police. The available research suggests that the experiences of Black and other ethnic–racial cultural groups in the criminal justice system differs from that of the ethnic majority population, and this tends to increase the tense relationship between the police and ethnic–racial cultural communities. The data on which this article is based were collected between April 2013 and July 2015 among ethnic and racial cultural groups from three different sites to explore ethnic cultural perceptions of legal authority in Finland. The experiences of 205 people with a cultural ethnic background were used to examine ethnic–racial cultural views on four types of police behaviour—respect, fairness, politeness and courtesy—in deciding whether to trust or distrust the police. We compared adverse encounters between members of ethnic and racial cultural communities and the police using a mixed-methods approach to procedural justice in a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. The study indicates that hostile police humour contributes to a negative attitude, fear and lack of trust towards the police, whereas every respectful interaction brings about a positive attitude. International Journal of Police Science & Management - Registration at source 7/1/2021 Research article Battered Immigrant Women and the Police: A Canadian Perspective Since the 1970s, the state response to intimate partner violence (IPV) has increasingly become one of criminalization—particularly police intervention. Little is known, however, about marginalized women’s experiences with the police within a context of intimate partner violence in Canada. Drawing on interviews with 90 battered immigrant women, this study examines which women contact the police, why some do not, and what characterizes their experiences when the police are involved in an IPV incident. This study demonstrates that while the women who called the police were demographically similar to those who did not call, the women who called reported much greater levels of physical abuse. Findings indicate that general fear of the police and fear of police being racist or culturally insensitive continue to be important reasons why women do not call the police. Notably, the majority of women who had contact with the police reported the encounter as positive.
