Guardian (Northwich) 28/10/2018 Feature, Opinion The burglars are at your door. And the police? Hiding in their office How the balance of fear is shifting in Britain as criminals are no longer afraid of the law Mail Online 28/10/2018 Feature, Opinion Meet the future of law enforcement — no, RoboCop, not you. It’s DI Twitter It’s tricky for the police these days: those pesky criminals so seldom tiptoe about in striped T-shirts with swag bags over their shoulders any more. Let’s be honest: catching criminals is the most dangerous and tediously time-consuming bit of their job, so it makes sense that the police appear to be moving it down their list of priorities.

The Telegraph - Subscription at source 27/10/2018 News Police must be visible and show zero tolerance In the latest display of institutional neglect, we can now report that at least eight police forces have stopped pursuing fuel thefts from petrol stations – otherwise known as “bilkings” – in which a motorist drives away without paying after filling their tank. Yes, sometimes this is down to someone innocently forgetting to pay, but overwhelmingly it is deliberate and remains a crime, and the whole point of the police is to enforce the law. If they do not, their inaction will send the message that thieves can get away with it, leaving petrol stations exposed to miscreants. That is a clear failure of duty. The Telegraph - Subscription at source 27/10/2018 Feature, Opinion Crown Prosecution Service head: justice system can’t cope Alison Saunders warns that police and the CPS are too under-resourced to tackle crimes efficiently The Guardian 27/10/2018 News Body Worn Cameras, Procedural Justice, and Police Legitimacy: A Controlled Experimental Evaluation of Traffic Stops Police legitimacy is generally regarded as a view among community members that police departments play an appropriate role in implementing rules governing public conduct. Placing body worn cameras (BWCs) on police officers has been suggested as a potentially important response to police legitimacy crises. We use a rigorous controlled quasi-experimental evaluation to test the impact of BWCs on citizen perceptions of procedural justice and police legitimacy during traffic stops in Turkey. Relative to stops by officers without BWCs, we find that motorists stopped by officers with BWCs reported improved perceptions of procedural justice in the encounter and perceptions of legitimacy of traffic officers and the police more generally. Supplementary analyses suggest that the perceived improvements in police legitimacy were entirely driven by perceived enhancements in procedural justice during the traffic stop encounter. These findings suggest that body camera technology help ensure procedurally just encounters and improve public perceptions of police legitimacy. Journal of Experimental Criminology - Registration at source 27/10/2018 Research article Feeling Blue: Officer Perceptions of Public Antipathy Predict Police Occupational Norms Recent protests against law enforcement have spurred claims by practitioners and editorialists that public antipathy toward the police may influence police occupational norms. A number of classic police ethnographies also suggest a link between perceived public antipathy and police culture, but limited empirical research has examined this claim. Using a sample of 12,376 sworn law enforcement officers who participated in the National Police Research Platform, and a series of ordinary least squares regressions, this study examines whether officers’ perceptions of public support predict their cultural orientations. Results reveal that officers perceiving greater public antipathy report higher levels of social isolation, work-group solidarity, cynicism toward the public, and coercive attitudes. We identify practical implications and potential organisational remedies to address these perceptions, and situate these findings within theoretical arguments of early police ethnographers and contemporary claims of the “Ferguson Effect.” American Journal of Criminal Justice - Registration at source 27/10/2018 Research article «408940904091409240934094409540964097Next ›Last » Upcoming events View all events
