Exploring Definitions of Cybercrime, Perceptions of Online Risk and Victimization While cybercrime is recognized as an increasing problem in society, it is unclear how users perceive cybercrime and online risks. This qualitative study explored how undergraduate students in England, a group who are at relatively high risk of victimization, viewed language and concepts associated with cybercrime. Three focus groups were conducted with a total of 16 18- to 21-year-old undergraduate students, and data were analyzed inductively and thematically. The themes explored in this article include: the physical world versus the virtual world; confusion regarding the law (including a perceived lack of police interest in responding to cybercrime); the normalization of risky or harmful online behaviour; and victimization. The themes also point towards a variety of misconceptions about cybercrime alongside an ambivalence towards the potential risk of becoming a victim. The data provide a potential step towards tailoring education packages and awareness programmes to ensure at-risk groups are equipped with actionable mechanisms to protect themselves. Further research is suggested in terms of exploring how such perceptions can be changed through effective training and awareness programmes, potentially reducing the level of risk in this group. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 26/12/2018 Research article Police Candidate Selection: Assessing the Effectiveness of Pre-Employment Polygraph Screening The majority of law enforcement agencies in the USA use pre-employment polygraph screening as a pass/fail criterion for prospective applicants. However, the polygraph has a number of unresolved practical and theoretical issues that are pronounced in the pre-employment screening context. After reviewing the literature in 2003, the National Research Council concluded there is a strong risk that pre-employment polygraph screening may erroneously exclude a large number of otherwise suitable candidates. Meanwhile, police departments face increasing difficulties finding qualified candidates to hire, and are often unable to keep pace with force attrition due to retirements and other factors. In light of these facts, this study attempts to determine if the polygraph is an effective means of filtering undesirable candidates by comparing data on police officer arrests between states that mandate pre-employment polygraph screening for law enforcement personnel and those that forbid the practice as a matter of law. The results were both surprising and completely contrary to initial expectations.

In recent years, the uses of SWAT have expanded to a number of circumstances. The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing noted that improper use of SWAT may damage the publics’ relationship with police. The current study examines public support for police use of SWAT across a number of different situations, using a national sample of 702 American adults. Descriptive statistics indicate widespread support for the use of SWAT in circumstances associated with hostage situations and terror events, with lower levels of support for circumstances involving the serving of drug warrants, large-scale public events, and peaceful protests, among others. Results from a series of logistic regressions indicate that legitimacy has inconsistent effects on public support for police use of SWAT across circumstances. Implications for theory and policy are discussed.
