Far from an inevitable progression, this partial and uneven shift is the product of sustained LGBTIQ activism and advocacy with and against the police – much of it ‘behind the scenes’. This paper draws on a selection of interviews with LGBTIQ activists in Australia who have focused on changing police practice. Collectively, their activism spans from the 1980s to the present day. It explores three issues that continue to impede LGBTIQ efforts to challenge the status quo of policing: the culture within police organisations; a policing agenda of crime control; and inequalities within and amongst LGBTIQ communities. The article argues that queer investments in policing are more nuanced, qualified and ambivalent than they initially seem. LGBTIQ activists working with police to reduce the harms of police practices appear to feel less that policing is definitively better and more that it could be worse. I thus use the term ‘cynical pragmatism’ to capture an affective orientation that informs LGBTIQ police reform work. Current Issues in Criminal Justice - Registration at source 19/6/2019 Research article Police Body-Worn Cameras: Research Developments on An Emerging Technology Police body-worn cameras (BWCs) represent one of the latest innovations to permeate policing, and the rapid speed with which law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and internationally have adopted or considered the technology has been greatly influenced by environmental factors, including high-profile deadly force incidents and national-level politics (President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, 2015), and the promises of transparency, accountability, and evidentiary value. The proliferation of BWCs in policing has been met with an explosion of research examining myriad issues related to the technology. As this body of research continues to expand and develop, it will be increasingly important to effectively communicate the findings to scholars, policy makers, and those in the field who are, arguably, most effected by BWCs. This special issue of Criminal Justice Review contributes to that effort.
