Policing Insight - Subscription at source 2/5/2019 Analysis, Feature When Domains Spill Over: the Relationships of Work–family Conflict With Indian Police Affective and Continuance Commitment Policing is a stressful occupation that may give rise to work–family conflict (WFC). WFC arises when the work domain encroaches into the family domain, or vice versa, causing officers to become less attached to their job and the police organization. Using survey data collected from a sample of police officers in India, we examined the relationship between four dimensions of WFC (time-based, strain-based, behaviour-based, and family-based WFC) and two dimensions of organizational commitment (continuance and affective). Family-based WFC was found to reduce continuance commitment, while strain-based WFC reduced affective commitment. Time-based, strain-based, and behaviour-based WFC increased continuance commitment. We examined the implications of these findings for police policy makers and administrators. In addition, we also discussed our findings in the context of cross-cultural comparisons. International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology - Registration at source 2/5/2019 Research article The Psychology of Shoplifting: Development of A New Typology For Repeated Shoplifting Despite the damaging effects of shoplifting on individuals, the current literature offers little guidance for changing shoplifting behaviour. One limitation in this area of research has been the failure to use empirically and theoretically sound methodologies to identify individuals’ diverse characteristics and motivations. The present study addressed these limitations by developing an empirically and theoretically supported typology of the varied individuals who shoplift. Participants included 202 community individuals who reported repeated shoplifting and provided information about their shoplifting behaviour, motivations, mental health, ethical attitudes, personal histories, and life circumstances. Cluster analyses revealed that the sample could be divided into six discrete groups. These clusters comprise a typology of shoplifting, including Loss-Reactive (28% of the sample), Impulsive (20%), Depressed (18%), Hobbyist (18%), Addictive–Compulsive (9%), and Economically Disadvantaged (7%) types. Each type comprises a unique pattern of shoplifting with unique needs. This research establishes a promising foundation for treating the diverse individuals who shoplift. International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology - Registration at source 2/5/2019 Research article Understanding Police Misconduct Correlates: Does Gender Matter in Predicting Career-Ending Misconduct? Decades of research on police misconduct have produced mixed findings related to risk and protective factors. Although misconduct is a relatively rare and predominantly male phenomenon, demographic characteristics such as sex could provide context to better understand the influence of these factors in predicting misconduct. Using a large sample (N = 3,085) of matched police officers in the New York Police Department and a split-sample analysis testing equality of coefficients, this study identifies how common predictors of police misconduct operate differently for men and women. Women and Criminal Justice - Registration at source 2/5/2019 Research article Examining English and Welsh Detectives’ Views of Online Crime The advancement of the Internet and digital technology has enabled individuals to commit crimes affecting both virtual and real targets at will. Criminological scholarship related to cybercrime and technology-enabled offending has primarily focused on offenders and victims, calling to question how police agencies effectively respond to these incidents. Limited empirical research has largely focused on line officers, who view these cyber offenses to be less serious in comparison to traditional crimes. Research examining the perceptions of detectives and inspectors is virtually nonexistent, though they are much more likely to have an investigative responsibility to pursue offenders and engage with citizens about the offense. Thus, there is a need to understand the attitudes inspectors hold toward online crime in order to improve our knowledge of police views and inform policy makers in building effective strategies to aid their response to unique and emerging crime types. This study examined the attitudinal factors associated with online crimes and incidents using a sample of 155 inspectors from 26 local agencies across England and Wales. The implications of this study for both police detectives and law enforcement agencies are discussed in detail.
