Express 2/5/2020 News Assessing the Effect of Multidimensional Family Therapy in Adolescents on Police Arrests Against A Background of Falling Crime Rates. A Randomised Controlled Trial With 7-Year Follow-Up Earlier, we reported that multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) decreased criminal offending in adolescents as measured with self-report in a randomised controlled trial with 1-year follow-up. The present study tested if this effect could be confirmed using police arrest data. Police arrest rates rose in the 3 years preceding treatment and then dropped in both treatment groups to almost zero level during the follow-up period. Police arrest rates rose in the 3 years preceding treatment and then dropped in both treatment groups to almost zero level during the follow-up period.

Journal of Experimental Criminology 2/5/2020 Research article Under-Policing and Apprehensiveness Toward Stopping Minorities Across White and Nonwhite Officers Post-Ferguson This pilot study examines police patrol activity, specifically engagement in under-policing, and investigatory-apprehensiveness toward minorities across White and nonwhite patrol officers in the context of policing post-Ferguson. Using a sample of unranked, patrol-duty officers in the United States (n = 887) from an online survey a series of multivariate binary logistic models suggest that although departmental and officer level variables can predict the likelihood of practicing under-policing and being apprehensive toward stopping minorities, various contextual post-Ferguson variables beyond de-policing also matter. Further, predictors of under-policing and apprehensiveness toward stopping minorities are different across White and nonwhite patrol officers. Results suggest the post-Ferguson period appears to have made an impression on patrol officers’ behaviours.

The Times - Subscription at source 2/5/2020 News The Times view on lockdown policing: Petty Officers It sounded like something out of a Monty Python sketch. British Transport Police arrested Marie Dinou in March for the crime of “loitering between platforms”. She was fined under new laws to tackle coronavirus, only for her conviction to be set aside after The Times reported that the police had used the wrong legislation. This week there was another wrongful conviction: Thames Valley police had arrested a teenager who said he was visiting his vulnerable mother. In response to these and similar cases the Crown Prosecution Service is to review every charge, conviction and sentence brought under coronavirus legislation. That is welcome.
