Police Oracle - Subscription at source 15/6/2020 News Bioterrorism: Capacity building and training A major part of our efforts is the facilitation of targeted training for law enforcement and relevant national agencies on how to prevent, prepare and respond to a bioterrorist attack. Our capacity building and training activities not only serve to establish collaboration on the national and regional levels, but also seek to promote a multi-agency approach. This will strengthen cooperation among law enforcement bodies and other sectors, thereby making it easier to share information, establish common practices and coordinate joint responses INTERPOL 15/6/2020 News Communicating With Purpose: Image Work, Social Media, and Policing Police services have substantially increased their use of social media in everyday police work. Few researchers have directly asked police services about the purpose their social media accounts serve. Through in-depth interviews conducted with police personnel overseeing police services’ social media sites in Canada, this article examines the reasons provided by police services for creating and operating their social media sites. We argue that the police utilize social media to communicate an image of police that demonstrates effectiveness and an openness to engaging with the public. We also explore the challenges that come with this type of image work.

Holyrood Magazine 15/6/2020 News Effects of Police Body‐worn Cameras on Citizen Compliance and Cooperation: Findings From A Quasi‐randomized Controlled Trial This study tests the effect of body‐worn cameras (BWCs) on stopped drivers’ perceptions of complying with police directives, obeying traffic laws, and cooperating with the police. A quasi‐randomized controlled trial was conducted with drivers stopped at routine traffic checkpoints. Drivers in the treatment group encountered police officers wearing BWCs, and drivers in the control group encountered police officers without BWCs. Surveys were administered after the stop. Findings suggest motorists exposed to BWC officers reported significantly stronger agreement with compliance with police directives, obedience toward traffic laws, and assistance with police duties. Further analysis indicates BWCs generate indirect impacts on specific citizen compliance mediated through improvements in procedural justice, as well as indirect impacts on general compliance and cooperation mediated through improvements in both police legitimacy and procedural justice. Criminology and Public Policy 15/6/2020 Research article Procedural Justice and Legal Compliance In 2017, we published an essay (Nagin & Telep, 2017) that challenged the widely held view that research had plausibly demonstrated that procedurally just treatment of citizens by police increased the citizen’s willingness to comply with the law and thereby reduced crime rates. This article updates Nagin and Telep (2017) with new evidence that has appeared since its publication, while exploring in more depth our critiques of the existing procedural justice evidence base. Overall, we reach a similar conclusion concerning the impact of procedurally just treatment on crime but with the qualification that the rapid growth in the literature offers some encouraging evidence on the effectiveness of procedural justice training in affecting officer’s attitudes and the effectiveness of community policing infused with elements of procedural justice in improving citizen perceptions of police. Research on body‐worn cameras also provides indirect support that respectful police–citizen interactions have salutary impacts. We also set out a revisionist perspective on procedural justice that emphasizes the social value of procedural justice in its own right but also makes more modest predictions about impacts on legal compliance.
