BBC 27/1/2025 News Women’s experience of workplace sexual harassment within the police service: A rapid evidence assessment The purpose of this work is to provide a systematic overview of sexual harassment (SH) of female police staff in the workplace. Themes that emerge from this review may aid police leaders’ understanding and help them to take a proactive approach to preventing an environment in which SH is tolerated. A rapid evidence assessment was conducted. The Ovid Platform was used to search the PsycINFO database. Searches were conducted in the College of Policing Library, Criminal Justice Database and Sage journals. Studies were included that focused on experiences of, and approaches to, SH in the police. Studies on addressing SH in the general public, or on incidents of SH by police officers towards the general public, were excluded. Six studies were included that explored the prevalence of, approaches to and risk factors for SH of female staff in the police. The most common form of SH is verbal sexual attention. SH remains highly prevalent in the police and is more commonly experienced by officers than support staff. Women respond by acquiescing to SH, or by handling it themselves. Rates of formal action are relatively low, and women often experience repercussions. Women perceive complaints will lead to ostracism and reduced promotion opportunities. There are signs of positive change, however a male-dominated, misogynistic culture persists. This review contributes to a growing understanding of police force SH; the issues raised will aid policymakers in addressing the most prevalent behaviours, repercussions and police culture. International Journal of Police Science & Management - Subscription at source 27/1/2025 Research article Conceptualising and maintaining partnership engagement, what is required? An analysis of three third-party policing partnerships in Australia and the UK Third-party policing (TPP) partnerships provide police agencies with an opportunity to address underlying social issues, and allow for longer-term solutions to crime and the development of innovative crime-reduction strategies. A review of the multi-agency policing partnership literature identifies a range of formal and informal factors that impact on implementation and partnership engagement. However, the literature is limited in terms of how and why these factors facilitate or inhibit implementation, and/or how these factors interact. This article applies an international case study methodology involving 55 semi-structured interviews with police officers and representatives from partner agencies across three TPP partnerships, two in Queensland, Australia and one in the United Kingdom. The key findings highlight a range of factors that are important. Five of these are imperative to the successful implementation and sustainability of TPP partnerships and continued partner engagement: (a) clear and shared aims and objectives for the partnership; (b) commitment from management and all involved to partnership working and adequate resourcing; (c) trust, respect and open communication between the partners; (d) information-sharing protocols; and (e) measuring the performance of the partnership. This article further shows that these factors are interdependent and should be considered in the context of the others. International Journal of Police Science & Management 27/1/2025 Research article Caring states? Bureaucratic care, moral ideals and emotional dilemmas in British asylum and policing This article explores everyday discourses of care among public protection police officers and asylum-screening officers in Britain. Contemporary policy rhetoric of vulnerability and care commits these bureaucracies to relieve human suffering. Through ethnographic observations and interviews, this article reveals the conflicting and profoundly moral meanings that these officials attach to care, which they claim as a central inspiration and ideal of their labour. Officers invoke ideals of empathy, personalization and moral responsibility to navigate their roles – an attempt to redress what they characterize as a failing system and articulate their own aspirations about the state. Yet the gatekeeping and exclusion characteristic of bureaucracy undermines such ideals, bringing officials to confront the impossibility of their aspirations. Examining the moral tensions that ensue enables a reappraisal of dominant analyses of state power. Casting care as neither a unitary governmental logic nor a vehicle to legitimize punishment, this article redresses criminology's neglect of the ‘benevolent’ side of the state and illustrates the state's fragmented character.
