Belfast Telegraph 18/5/2020 News Police and Crime Commissioners: New Agents of Crime and Justice Policy Transfer? This article argues that the police accountability and governance reforms introduced by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Government (2010–2015) have created a new window for ‘international-subnational’ crime and justice policy transfer to occur in England and Wales by placing Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) into a local strategic leadership position. It begins by providing an account of the emergence of PCCs and the controversies that have surrounded them, while at the same time maintaining that they are unlikely to be abolished in the foreseeable future. Three reasons as to why PCCs may seek to import policies from abroad are then presented, encompassing ballot-box politicking, hyper-awareness of constituency discontent and a demonstrated willingness to pioneer new crime control initiatives. Subsequent to presenting an international-subnational policy transfer case study – that of London’s Compulsory Sobriety Pilot – several analytical and practice-based ‘lessons’ are outlined pertaining to the process of emulating non-indigenous subnational crime control innovations. Policing and Society 18/5/2020 Research article olice officers are working in dangerous situations without protection from coronavirus – and now they’re getting ill Every Thursday we clap for our frontline care workers, but we rarely talk about the frontline police officers who have only basic protective equipment and are just as at risk of contracting Covid-19 The Independent 18/5/2020 News Citizen Journalism and Public Cynicism Toward Police in the USA The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the source of media imagery on participant cynicism toward the police and explore the relationship between media source and the severity of sanctions imposed on police as a result of the portrayed actions. Participants (N = 93) completed a semantic differential scale measuring participants’ attitudes toward members of various occupations followed by a survey to measure baseline cynicism. Then, participants viewed a video of police behavior which was manipulated according to media source and completed a second cynicism measure and demographic survey. Participants were then asked whether to impose a sanction on the police officers. Results indicated that there were no differences in cynicism between groups prior to viewing the video; however, there were statistically significant differences in cynicism between groups after exposure to Citizen Video Journalism (CVJ) from different media sources revealing that cynicism was greater with the group that viewed CVJ from the social media source than from the broadcast media source. Furthermore, results indicated statistical significance between groups and severity of sanctions imposed on police after CVJ video exposure. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Registration at source 18/5/2020 Research article The Impact of Interviewer Working Hours on Police Interviews With Children Fatigue resulting from unpredictable or extended working conditions is a factor that negatively impacts the performance of police officers. In this study, we considered how investigative interviewing of children is influenced by interviewer working conditions. We examined two working conditions concerning when interviews were conducted: (a) during early duty shift and (b) an hour before the end of an interviewer’s duty shift and after the end of a shift. We analysed 102 police interviews with children and identified clues that interviews which commenced during early duty shift had more appropriate approaches than interviews in the other condition. Inappropriate approaches were not significantly affected by interviewer working conditions. These outcomes suggest considering new knowledge specific to the behaviour of interviewers according to working conditions and provide promising foundations for further research. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 18/5/2020 Research article Exploring Gender Differences in Domestic Violence Reported to the NSW Police Force Whether men and women are equally violent in their intimate relationships has animated considerable debate in the scholarly literature, and increasingly, in policy and law reform processes. This debate about the gendered nature of domestic violence (DV) has re-intensified over the past decade with police data from various countries documenting an increase in women identified as DV offenders. While there has been considerable research exploring the increase in women DV offenders overseas (particularly in the USA) there has been little research in Australia. This article seeks to fill some of these gaps. It reports on a NSW study which explored differences between women and men identified as ‘persons of interest’ in an incident reported to police in 2010, and then over time (2006–2012) to see whether that person was the predominant victim or offender. Current Issues in Criminal Justice - Registration at source 18/5/2020 Research article Neighborhood Climates of Legal Cynicism and Complaints About Abuse of Police Power Research findings show that legal cynicism—a cultural frame in which skepticism about laws, the legal system, and police is expressed—is important in understanding neighborhood variation in engagement with the police, particularly in racially isolated African American communities. We argue that legal cynicism is also useful for understanding neighborhood variation in complaints about police misconduct. Using data on complaints filed in Chicago between 2012 and 2014, we show that grievances disproportionately came from racially segregated neighborhoods and that a measure of legal cynicism from the mid‐1990s predicts complaints about abuse of police power two decades later. The association between legal cynicism and complaints is net of prior complaints, reported crime, imprisonment, and other structural factors that contribute to the frequency and nature of interactions involving police and residents. Legal cynicism also mediates the influence of racially isolated neighborhoods on complaints. The mid‐1990s is the approximate midpoint of a half‐century of police scandals in Chicago.
