Birmingham Live 14/9/2018 News Police Use of Force: An Examination of the Minority Threat Perspective The minority threat perspective suggests that the criminal justice system may be one mechanism through which the majority group (i.e. Whites) maintains control of culturally dissimilar minority groups. Although numerous studies have examined the relationship between minority representation and various policing outcomes, few have extended this research to police use of force in the context of stop-and-frisk practices. Using stop, question, and frisk data from the New York Police Department, this study examines (1) whether racial and ethnic composition influences police use of force, and (2) whether an individual’s race/ethnicity interacts with the racial/ethnic composition of a police precinct to produce disparities in police use of force. The results provide partial support for the minority threat perspective. Criminal Justice Studies - Registration at source 14/9/2018 Research article Bill Carmichael: No offence South Yorkshire Police, but why not fight real crime? South Yorkshire must be a wonderful place – no 11-year-old girls gang raped and trafficked into prostitution, no murders or shootings, no stabbings or muggings or theft, no cars stolen, no sign of any drug dealing and not a single burglary in the entire county. It is a crime-free paradise on Earth. Well, that’s the only possible explanation for the extraordinary decision by South Yorkshire Police this week to launch a campaign to encourage citizens to report “non-crime hate incidents”. The Yorkshire Post 14/9/2018 Feature, Opinion Andrew McKie: When the police need to be subject to a rude awakening Offence has several related definitions and so, for that matter, does police. That’s not usually very important because a combination of context and common sense will tend to make it clear which use is intended. It would be problematic only if somebody were incapable of understanding everyday speech or the basics of the law. Even that probably wouldn’t matter unless it were some body – such as a police force – given particular powers on the grounds that it understood such basic distinctions. The Herald (Scotland) 14/9/2018 Feature, Opinion Mapping Repeated Interviews The present study introduces an adaptation of the Griffiths Question Map (GQM; Griffiths and Milne 2006) which extends the chronological, visual map of question types used in an investigative interview to include child interviewee’s responses (through the addition of the Interview Answer Grid, IAG). Furthermore, it provides a rare evaluation of repeated interviews with children. From a sample of transcripts of Scottish repeated interviews with child victims, two ‘good’ and two ‘poor’ first interviews were chosen based on interviewer question types. First and second investigative interviews of these four children were mapped using the GQM and IAG in order to examine across the two interviews the similarity of interviewer and interviewee behaviours and the consistency and investigative-relevance of information provided. Both ‘good’ and ‘poor’ interviews were found to include practices discouraged by interviewing guidelines, which would not have been identified by examining question proportions alone.

Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Registration at source 14/9/2018 Research article Procedural Justice Perceptions, Legitimacy Beliefs, and Compliance With the Law: A Meta-Analysis The purpose of this study was to compare procedural justice and legitimacy as correlates and predictors of compliance with the law. A literature review produced 64 studies, 95 samples, and 196 effect sizes from studies published or conducted sometime between 1990 and February 2018 in which procedural justice was correlated with legitimacy and/or compliance, or legitimacy was correlated with compliance. Fifty samples included all 3 correlations, 3 samples included 2 correlations, and the remaining 42 samples included a single correlation. Two random effects meta-analyses were performed. The current findings suggest that legitimacy beliefs are instrumental in promoting compliance with the law and that while procedural justice perceptions also appear to predict compliance, the effect was relatively weak in this meta-analysis and could not be reliably established in longitudinal datasets.
