Police Professional - Subscription at source 22/5/2018 News Gloucestershire – National child protection post-inspection review Protecting children is one of the most important tasks the police undertake. Only the police can investigate suspected crimes, arrest perpetrators and monitor sex offenders. Police officers have the power to take a child who is in danger into a place of safety, or to seek an order to restrict an offender’s contact with children. The police service also has a significant role working with other agencies to ensure the child’s protection and well-being, longer term.

It is part of a rolling programme of inspections of all police forces in England and Wales.

HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 22/5/2018 News The Role of Police Officer Race/ethnicity on Crime Rates in Immigrant Communities Few studies have examined the role of city police officer racial/ethnic representation on violent crime in immigrant neighbourhoods. Yet police officer race/ethnicity might play a significant role in bolstering or weakening the relationship between immigration and violent crime rates. Researchers have posited that increasing the representation of minority officer would be an important avenue for making police departments more accountable to the communities they serve. The current study contributes to existing research by using national (i.e., 89 cities and 8,980 neighbourhoods) data on violent crime from large U.S. cities. We examine the relationship between immigration, violent crime rates, and minority police officer representation using multilevel modelling techniques. Results indicate that neighbourhood immigrant concentration is associated with lower robbery and homicide rates. Moreover, the negative relationship between immigrant concentration and violent crime rates is strengthened by city African American and Hispanic officer representation. Policy implications for law enforcement are discussed.
