BBC 23/11/2018 News Social behaviour: Police are embracing social media, but there’s still some way to go Figures published this month show many forces have fully embraced social media and are using it to not only communicate crime and incident-related messages, but also to engage with the public. However, research shows there's still room for improvement. Policing Insight - Subscription at source 23/11/2018 Analysis The Effect of High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise on Chronic Stress and Potential Biomarkers: A Pilot Study Persons employed in highly stressful occupations are at a heightened risk for developing chronic stress-related disorders. These disorders are associated with immunosuppression, disease progression and psychological illness. Exercise has previously been used to combat depression; however, police personnel are already moderately active yet still stressed. Therefore, this pilot study aims to determine if high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) could be a potential stress-reducing strategy in already trained persons, and which biological markers could be measured in a larger study. Using three single case studies, this study employed a 10-week HIIT intervention and measured markers of stress via Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores, cortisol levels and associated inflammation blood markers at baseline and post-intervention. The PSS scores reduced after HIIT (36–40%). Cortisol secretion pre-intervention indicated a flat profile during daytime hours; post-intervention showed increased levels in the morning and an overall normal daytime profile. Of the inflammation blood markers, eosinophil cell counts were halved post-intervention. HIIT, therefore, is a potential stress-reducing strategy in already trained individuals. The decreased psychological stress was associated with normalization of cortisol hormone function and reduced systemic inflammation via lower eosinophil counts, which highlighted the specific physiological markers as indicators of chronic stress. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Registration at source 23/11/2018 Research article Disentangling the Relationship Between Race and Attitudes Toward the Police: Police Contact, Perceptions of Safety, and Procedural Justice Recent incidents involving police shootings of unarmed men of color have increased tensions between communities and police departments across the United States. In response, scholars have intensified efforts to understand the factors that shape attitudes toward the police. The current study examines individual and aggregate factors that influence satisfaction with the police. To this end, we address three research questions: (a) are there significant racial/ethnic differences in satisfaction with police; (b) do these differences persist after accounting for experiences with the police, perceptions of safety, and aggregate measures; and (c) can procedural justice help explain racial variation in attitudes toward the police? Study findings highlight the importance of perceptions of safety in explaining racial/ethnic variation in attitudes toward the police.
