Civil Nuclear Constabulary 30/6/2026 News “I am now aware of the true impact of hate crime on victims”: the importance of hate crime training for police officers and other frontline staff Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness and challenges of hate crime training for police, city council and other partner employees in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The paper considers the value of the “hate crime champions” training, based on the perceptions and experiences of police, Nottingham City Council and other partner employees who attended this training. Design/methodology/approach: This study utilised a pre- and after-training survey with 159 training attendees to measure the effectiveness of the training. Findings: Results show that participants’ knowledge and confidence had improved, and they had a better understanding of the impact of hate crime and how they might address it. Originality/value: Amid growing social fragmentation and marginalisation, vulnerable communities are increasingly subjected to hate crimes, both in physical spaces and across digital platforms. Yet, existing evidence shows that hate crimes are significantly under-reported and under-recorded in comparison to non-hate-motivated offences. Despite increased attention to the policing of hate crimes, little is known about the impact of professional police training – an important factor that can directly shape how hate crimes are reported and recorded by officers and other frontline staff. This article directly addresses this gap in the literature.

New Zealand Doctor 30/6/2026 News Cybercrime in Australia 2025 AUSTRALIA: In 2025, 10,593 online Australians participated in the Australian Cybercrime Survey. Nearly half of all respondents reported having been a victim of some form of cybercrime in the 12 months prior to the survey. This included online abuse and harassment (24.9% of respondents), followed by malware (21.5%), identity crime and misuse (20.6%) and fraud and scams (11.4%). One in five respondents experienced multiple types of cybercrime. Between 2024 and 2025, the proportion of respondents who had been a victim of online fraud and scams increased. As with previous years, certain sections of the community were more likely than others to fall victim. For the second year running, the proportion of respondents who said they were using various online safety strategies decreased from the year before. However, fewer respondents participated in online activities associated with a higher risk of victimisation or engaged in unsafe online behaviours like sharing passwords. Most cybercrime continues to go unreported to police and ReportCyber. The harm to individual victims remained steady in 2025, but the proportion of small to medium business operators who reported impacts on their staff and legal or regulatory issues due to cybercrime increased.

Home Office 29/6/2026 News Conflicting crime-control strategies? Police supervision and its implications for the therapeutic treatment of individuals convicted of child sexual offences in Denmark Contemporary Danish criminal justice responses to individuals convicted of sexual offences against children (ICSOCs) are shaped by distinct crime-control strategies in which rehabilitation-oriented interventions intersect with increasingly intrusive control measures. Drawing on four focus group interviews with 13 treatment providers across Denmark’s four highly specialised psychiatric clinics for the treatment of ICSOCs, this article examines Denmark’s recently introduced police supervision scheme and its implications for the therapeutic treatment of ICSOCs. The findings indicate that police supervision generates collateral effects that may interfere with core therapeutic conditions: it imposes psychological burdens that diminish ICSOCs’ capacity to engage meaningfully in treatment, disrupts therapeutic processes within and beyond clinical settings, and weakens the psychosocial stabilisation associated with treatment progress and successful outcomes. More broadly, these findings suggest that intrusive crime-control measures risk reshaping the structural conditions within which the rehabilitative ambitions of the Nordic penal welfare model are expected to operate.
