Police Professional 19/9/2018 News A Canadian Replication of Telep and Lum’s (2014) Examination of Police Officers’ Receptivity to Empirical Research Research conducted in the United States (U.S.) suggests that many police professionals are unaware of, or resistant to, empirical research, and see little value in adopting evidence-based approaches for tackling policing issues. To determine whether similar views are held by Canadian police professionals, 598 police professionals (civilians and officers) from seven police services across Canada were surveyed. The survey was designed by Lum and Telep (n.d. Officer receptivity survey on evidence-based policing. Fairfax, VA: Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy, George Mason University) to determine respondents’ knowledge of, and support for, evidence-based policing (EBP). Using their survey allowed us to compare our results to the data they collected in the U.S. Although Canadian respondents had similar concerns regarding EBP as those in the U.S., in several ways, Canadian police professionals were more open to the idea of EBP. The results are encouraging, but still suggest a lack of buy-in from some police professionals in certain regards. Potential reasons for the cross-national discrepancies, and the consequences of the findings, are discussed.

Mail Online 19/9/2018 News Reporting Victimisation to the Police: the Role of Racial Dyad and Bias Motivation Multiple theoretical perspectives suggest that the racial minorities may be less likely to report victimisation to law enforcement. Likewise, the literature on racially-motivated offenses highlights the importance of the victim’s race in whether the crime is reported. While both bodies of literature suggest that perception of racial bias may be a particularly salient factor in decisions to not report, they have been largely divorced from one another. Using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, the present study extends the literature on reporting decisions by assessing whether the relationship between victim race, as well as different offender-victim racial dyads, varies by type of crime (hate crime v. non-hate crime). Furthermore, among incidents that are not reported to the police, the importance of attitudes toward police are explored descriptively. The results indicate that crimes against White victims are more likely to be reported if they are not motivated by racial animus, and non-hate crimes are more likely to be reported when the offender is Black. Perception of police bias is not a strong factor in the non-reporting of crimes. Implications of the research and directions for future investigation are discussed.
