This study used survey data collected from 1,095 respondents in Shanghai. Multivariate regression was used to analyse the effects of group positions and group consciousness variables on perceived police fairness, controlling for personal, experiential and neighbourhood factors. Regardless of their own hukou status, individuals who live in high migrant areas expressed less favourable attitudes toward police fairness. Meanwhile, people who displayed greater degrees of sensitivity to bias in law rated police fairness less favourably, whereas people who expressed higher levels of moral alignment with the law and belief in no choice but to obey the police rated police fairness more favourably. Lower levels of neighbourhood disorder and higher degrees of cohesion were also associated with more positive evaluations of police fairness.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 1/3/2019 Analysis Defining and Assessing Vulnerability Within Law Enforcement and Public Health Organisations: A Scoping Review Historically, police departments focused solely on criminal justice issues. Recently, there has been a dynamic shift in focus, with Law Enforcement professional groups assuming more responsibility for tackling mental health and distress-related issues (that may arise because of mental health related problems and learning disabilities) alongside Public Health departments. While Law Enforcement has become a ‘last line of support’ and an increasing partner in mental health support, there is partnership working between law enforcement, psychology, and health professions in training and mental health service delivery. The term vulnerability is frequently used across Law Enforcement and Public Health (LEPH) to identify those in need of these services. Effective vulnerability assessment is therefore expected to prevent unintentional harmful health and criminal justice consequences and manage the negative impact of such in cases where prevention is not possible. This scoping review aimed to identify how vulnerability is defined and assessed across LEPH organisations.

A Look At Its Relationships With Crime Clearance Rates Prior research focused on the role of community policing in preventing and reducing crime. In the present study, logistic regression was used to compare three data sets from each of two national crime programs to explore whether it also helped to solve crime between 1997 and 2007. Findings indicated that it had some significant associations with all Uniform Crime Report crime clearance rates but that it was almost twice as likely to be related to lower clearance rates than higher ones. Moreover, increases in the percentages of community policing officers were related to increases in the likelihood of lower clearance rates, and decreases in the percentages were related to decreases in the likelihood of both lower and higher clearance rates.

Police Professional 1/3/2019 News Neighborhood Immigrant Concentration and Violent Crime Reporting to the Police: A Multilevel Analysis of Data From the National Crime Victimization Survey Using data from the Area‐Identified National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), we provide a national assessment of the impact of neighbourhood immigrant concentration on whether violence is reported to the police. By drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives, we outline how the level of violence reporting could be higher or lower in immigrant neighbourhoods, as well as how this may depend on individual race/ethnicity and the history of immigration in the county in which immigrant neighbourhoods are located. Controlling for both individual‐ and neighbourhood‐level conditions, our findings indicate that within traditional immigrant counties, rates of violence reporting in immigrant neighbourhoods are similar to those observed elsewhere. In contrast, within newer immigrant destinations, we observe much lower rates of violence reporting in neighbourhoods with a large concentration of immigrants. Our study findings reveal comparable patterns for Whites, Blacks, and Latinos. The results have important implications for theory, policy, and future research.
