The Economic Times (India) 9/5/2020 News Role Variations and Perceptions of Campus Police Versus Local and State Law Enforcement The purpose of this article was to explore potential variations in students’ perceptions towards campus police (CP) roles and behaviours as compared with local and state law enforcement (LSLE). This study used a web-based survey to solicit responses from (n = 995) students. Results showed that students perceived traditional policing roles of higher import to LSES while rating campus-specific roles higher for CP. However, rank order of roles revealed remarkable similarities between policing agencies. Additionally, CP were perceived more favourably in terms of their behaviour, with similar participant characteristics predicting perceptions of CP and LSLE. Interactions with LSLE significantly affected perceptions of CP behaviour and vice versa, indicating a lack of distinction between CP and LSLE. While prior research suggests that CP is marginalized, the current analysis offers support that differences in role importance between CP and LSLE may be due to the unique needs of college campuses. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 9/5/2020 Research article The Conceptual–contextual Gap Between Non-Recurrence and Transformative Police Reform in Post-Conflict States The idea of a systemic and holistic approach to police reform that addresses larger structural issues, such as poverty or discrimination against marginalized groups, is an attractive one. It is understandable that reformers and critics aspire to develop police forces that are so well-trained, transparent, and open to external oversight that responsiveness to community needs broadly understood becomes second nature. However, it is not enough to identify the needs of the most marginalized—policy-makers must identify where and how aspirations for change fit the domestic political economy in the security sector. This article has outlined a conceptual–contextual gap in policebuilding, pin-pointing three other main barriers to transformation (i) the necessary preoccupation with and diversion of resources to technical reform, (ii) the need to deal with immediate post-conflict security needs, and (iii) a political economy that does not support the type of responsive, socially democratic culture where transformative policebuilding becomes feasible.

Three relatively large darknet markets were reviewed for the purposes of this study, selected because of their importance to the EU market and because they could be accessed to provide information necessary to comment on activity levels. A limitation of this study is that not all major darknet markets could be included at the time of drafting (April 2020). Qualitative information from a number of online forums was also analysed to further inform the analysis provided here. The conclusions made are therefore necessarily tentative and only provide a snapshot, as the situation is evolving rapidly.
