Chad (Nottinghamshire) 16/12/2018 News Labour attacks police cuts as figures show fall in charging rates Proportion charged after arrest for suspected violent offences fell by a third in two years The Guardian 16/12/2018 News Modifying the ‘How’ of An Arrest: Reducing the Interacting Effects of Childhood Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence and Parental Arrest Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) as a child is a well-known risk factor for impaired psychosocial functioning contributing to elevated risks of internalizing and externalizing behaviours. Witnessing a parent’s arrest for IPV can interact with and further extend these consequences. This narrative review discusses the research on these adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and identifies the potential for greater traumatic outcomes resulting from their interaction. The authors provide strategies for police to minimize the negative effects on children when arresting a parent who has perpetrated IPV and recommend transitioning towards more integrated units that enable collaborative responses between police practitioners and child experts to minimize the resulting harm of exposure to these particular ACEs. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 16/12/2018 Research article Analyzing Block Randomized Studies: the Example of the Jersey City Drug Market Analysis Experiment While block randomized designs have become more common in place-based policing studies, there has been relatively little discussion of the assumptions employed and their implications for statistical analysis. Our paper seeks to illustrate these assumptions, and controversy regarding statistical approaches, in the context of one of the first block randomized studies in criminal justice—the Jersey City Drug Market Analysis Project (DMAP). The major contribution of our article is to clarify statistical modeling in unbalanced block randomized studies. The introduction of blocking adds complexity to the models that are estimated, and care must be taken when including interaction effects in models, whether they are ANOVA models or regression models. Researchers need to recognize this complexity and provide transparent and alternative estimates of study outcomes. Journal of Experimental Criminology - Registration at source 16/12/2018 Research article Exploring the Relationship Between Effective Parenting, Self-Control, and Adherence to the Police Code of Silence Prior research has established that low self-control is significantly related to negative police behaviour, but no known study has investigated the development of self-control in those individuals who become police officers, and its subsequent relationship to police misconduct. To that end, structural equation modelling is used to test the theoretical causal sequence linking effective parenting, self-control, and adherence to the police code of silence among a multi-agency sample of 1,072 police recruits. Though our data offer some support for the parental management hypothesis and for the relationship between low self-control and deviance, the results demonstrate that these propositions are not as clear-cut as theoretically presented. This study offers insight into these complicated relationships and the findings yield important policy implications for police administrators.
