Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) 10/5/2019 News Law Enforcement and Social Media Usage: An Analysis of Engagement Social media use by law enforcement agencies has been on the rise in recent years. Given that engaging with the community online has shown significant impact for businesses, there is reason to believe that law enforcement agencies will also benefit from this type of media use. However, success with social media is contingent upon user engagement. Research on law enforcement agencies’ social media use is limited, and examinations of community engagement with law enforcement via social networking sites such as Facebook are non-existent. This study adds to the literature by examining user engagement with social media posts from a law enforcement agency in a large metropolis in Louisiana. Findings indicate that there are significant differences in engagement by the type, time, and content of the posts. Based on these findings, implications for practitioners and law enforcement agencies are discussed. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 10/5/2019 Research article Perils of the Subjective Approach: A Critical Analysis of the UK National Crime Recording Standards It is now more than 15 years since the Home Office introduced a standardized methodology for crime recording in the UK. The April 2018 edition of the Home Office Crime Recording Standards sets out six purposes, which continue to inform the broad aim of the standards. These purposes include: the provision of a high-quality service to crime victims; promoting effective and ethical investigations; accurately informing the public about the risk of crime; and supporting police management and national policy development. These relatively lofty objectives might fairly be considered the success criteria against which the standards themselves can reasonably be judged. This article turns a critical eye to the performance of the existing regime against each objective in turn. In several key areas, it suggests that the crime recording standards have actually been counter-productive in application and now threaten both police efficiency and police legitimacy.
