By studying 152 police officers in Kolkata, India, we explore what contributes to burnout, and in which context burnout can be reduced or increased. We have focused on the relationship between personality and burnout, and examined the relationship between different job aspects, like job control and organizational identification with burnout. Results indicate that certain personality traits like agreeableness and conscientiousness significantly predict personal accomplishment, while neuroticism predicts emotional exhaustion. Low job control was related with increased emotional exhaustion, and higher level of identification with organization was related with increased sense of personal accomplishment.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 28/8/2020 Analysis, Feature Detecting Modern Slavery on Cannabis Farms: the Challenges of Evidence To what extent could police identify victims of modern slavery among growers arrested on cannabis farms as suspects under drug laws, and what challenges of evidence would have to be met to separate offending from victimisation? A purposive sample of criminal history data of all Vietnamese nationals arrested for cannabis cultivation offences in Surrey/Sussex in the 3 years to 2017 (N = 19) was identified and collected. Three ‘cannabis farm’ cases from the period 2014–2017 were analysed to produce key information about growers, including their nationality, criminal history and possible status as modern slavery victims. The case records and interviews provide key information about the extent to which growers on farms were treated as slaves under the 2015 Modern Slavery Act. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the three arrested growers to explore their lived experiences of recruitment and labour on the farms. Arresting police officers were also interviewed to explore how they frame the problem of cannabis cultivation and make decisions about their role in confronting it. Interview transcripts were prepared for analytic purposes. All interviewees were informed that the research was focused on the management of the policing of cannabis farms alone and full anonymity was assured. Of the three cases examined in depth, the arrested growers provided stories consistent with their having been trafficked and subjected to ‘debt bondage’. They described precarious journeys before being forced to work on UK farms.
