ITV News 15/2/2019 News Integration of DNA, Fingerprint, and Firearm Databases Into Forensic Intelligence Networks For A Real-Time Case Assessment Model Forensic analysis traditionally supports the investigative process from crime scene to trial on a case-by-case basis which fails to exploit the potential of forensic data. Introduction of forensic data to an intelligence framework enables an analytical assessment which seeks to prevent missed linkages between cases. An intelligence network is constructed of entities interconnected with links to show associations and relationships. Utilisation of criminal case information in an intelligence network enables the investigator to access information from other cases to solve the case at hand given other cases. A three-step import specification model was developed which incorporates information relevant to the incident, evidence recovered as a product of the investigation, analytical results, and performed database searches. Application of the provided import specifications aid in harnessing inter and intra-case linkages for a shift in the forensic landscape to a multi-case global focus while streamlining the process with automated information extraction. Journal of Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism - Registration at source 15/2/2019 Research article Mind the Grass! Exploring the Assessment of Informant Coverage in Policing and Law Enforcement The use of informants, or Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS), has become a mainstay of contemporary policing and law enforcement in the United Kingdom as police, security and enforcement agencies seek to tackle a range of crimes. Recognising the relative paucity of enquiry on this subject, and addressing the associated requirement for further empirical research, this paper explores how ‘informant coverage’ – the extent to which informants can provide information on targets, suspects, crimes, and criminal conspiracies – is assessed in policing and law enforcement in Scotland. It is principally informed by qualitative research conducted in 2017 and 2018, comprised of semi-structured interviews with 19 participants. Drawing upon a thematic analysis of the resultant data, and enriched by the author’s prior experience as a practitioner in this field, this paper identifies the strengths and limitations of established practices.

BBC 15/2/2019 News The Importance of ‘Blue Shirts’ in Traffic Policing The requirement for transparency and accountability for public spending has seen a focus on quantitative cost–benefit analyses. In the context of traffic policing, the temptation is to emphasize the importance of automated systems of enforcement as these pose an arguably less expensive alternative to using uniformed police. In the context of speed enforcement, automated means of enforcement are a logical way to efficiently distribute resources. However, in other areas of traffic policing, like driver distraction, seatbelt use, random breath testing, the use of uniformed police is essential. Following an overview of empirical research examining traffic enforcement, this article explores theoretical explanations for compliance with the law, focusing on research that has examined the importance of procedural justice. It is suggested that an approach embracing both automated means of enforcement coupled with visible police presence is essential to encourage perceptions of procedural justice and police legitimacy. Further empirical research is needed to model the ideal allocation of funding across automated and non-automatic law enforcement in traffic to maximize public compliance with the law and ultimately reduce crashes.
