To this end, data on the investigation of 62 sexual homicides (homicides committed by a serial sexual murderer = 24; homicides committed by a non-serial sexual murderer = 38), were analysed. Organized behaviours, typical of serial sexual murderers, were not all associated with a longer criminal investigation. However, it was possible to develop a model of the duration of investigations, and predict the seriality of sexual murderers, by taking into account the decisions of murderers and investigators. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 3/10/2018 Research article The Impact of Resilience Training on Occupational Stress, Resilience, Job Satisfaction, and Psychological Well-Being of Female Police Officers Despite many studies on police stress, there is little research on interventions to promote their well-being. Moreover, most studies of police stress have been predominately on male samples, with female police officers often being neglected. On this premise, the purpose of the present study was to develop and determine the efficacy of resilience training program by evaluating its impact on occupational stress, resilience, job satisfaction, and psychological well-being. Two hundred and fifty female police officers from the Southern part of India were recruited for the study. The study adopted a pre-post-follow-up research design. Resilience training with components such as self-awareness, positive attitude, emotional management, and interpersonal skills were developed uniquely for this study, based on protective model of resilience. Sixty-three female police officers, who fulfilled the criteria, were randomly assigned into two groups namely, experimental (n = 33) and control group (n = 30). Resilience training was given to the experimental group thrice a week for nearly 2 months, and control group was not given any training. Data were collected at three time periods, i.e., before training, a week after training, and 2 months after training.

The Scotsman 3/10/2018 News Examining the Blue Line in the Rainbow: the Interactions and Perceptions of Law Enforcement Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Communities Despite the fact that LGBTQ individuals are at greater risk of victimization than the average citizen, the LGBTQ community’s relationship with law enforcement has been a turbulent one. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, semi-structured interviews and observations of town hall meetings, and following the participatory action research framework, this study examines the interactions between the LGBTQ community and law enforcement, and the perceptions of police within the LGBTQ community. The current study demonstrates how members of the LGBTQ community continue to have negative experiences with police that adversely impact their perceptions of law enforcement. Moreover, the findings underline the importance of examining how multiple identities impact an individual’s experiences with and their perceptions of law enforcement. Expanding past research on this topic, this study offers an analysis based upon suggestions of the study’s participants of what steps must be taken in order to improve relations between these two groups. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 3/10/2018 Research article The Meanings of Pacifying Police Units (UPPs) in the ‘Marvellous City’ Since 2008, a new policing program has been in progress in the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro – known by Brazilians as ‘cidade maravilhosa’ (‘the marvellous city’) –, based on the implementation of UPPs (Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora, or Pacifying Police Units). In this article, we analyse the perceptions of dwellers of ten recently pacified favelas, seeking to unveil the meanings they lend to the community policing category. Data gathered with four focus groups, carried out in 2015, showed that UPP is a program welcomed and rejected by those living in favelas, as pacifying methods oscillate between proximity and brutality, contradicting the concept of community policing.
