Policing Insight - Subscription at source 26/10/2018 Opinion Police Cybercrime Training: Perceptions, Pedagogy, and Policy Cybercrime presents numerous issues for police organisations. A key challenge is to understand how best to impart relevant skills and knowledge about cybercrime throughout the organisation to enable police officers to react appropriately to such incidents. This article is drawn from research undertaken as part of the CARI Project, a major study into the effectiveness of cybercrime investigation within a large UK police force funded by the Police Knowledge Fund. As part of the needs assessment for the above project, concerns were raised about the effectiveness of existing training arrangements in facilitating the development of cyber skills within police officers. The present research, based on survey data, explored the effectiveness of different training styles as perceived by those who had undertaken cyber training. The research found that officers perceived some modes of training as more effective than others and highlighted some of the organisational contexts that impact negatively on the delivery of effective cyber training. The findings are presented within a context, informed by existing literature, that acknowledges wider debates surrounding the pedagogy of police learning and the organisational challenges of developing cyber skills within police officers. The authors believe that the findings will have relevance to police training policy both in the UK and in the wider international context. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 26/10/2018 Research article How Do Police Officers Cope With Police Corruption and Corrupt Peers? A Typology in the Making The phenomenon of police corruption has received a significant share of attention by both scholars and practitioners. However, although notable knowledge has been built on a corpus of circumferential issues in and determinants of corruption, the array of coping strategies of police officers who encounter corrupt practices and interact with corrupt colleagues has evaded empirical analysis. That said, this article sets out to do that and draws on data collected from a web survey, based on a sample of 446 Cypriot police officers. In the main, it is argued that inertia and apathy are embedded in the preponderance of police officers’ attitudes towards their corrupt peers. Also, for delineating (and somewhat explicating) the coping strategies of police officers who share workplaces with corrupt peers, a typology based on the COPE Inventory is introduced. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 26/10/2018 Research article Does the Police Code of Silence Vary With Police Assignment? An Empirical Exploration of the Relation Between the Code and Assignment This paper contains an in-depth exploration of the relation between police code of silence and police assignment. A police integrity survey was used to measure the contours of the code among Croatian patrol officers, detectives, and community-policing officers. Samples of police officers evaluated fourteen hypothetical scenarios describing various forms of police misconduct. Whereas the type of assignment was a weak predictor of the respondents’ adherence to the code of silence, the respondents’ assessments of misconduct seriousness and expected discipline, as well as perceptions whether other officers would report misconduct, were strong predictors of the respondents’ own expressed adherence to the code.
