Community Perspectives of the Countering Violent Extremism Pilot Program in Minneapolis/St. Paul In August 2011, international recruitment to terrorist groups became a growing concern for the United States. The Obama administration started a public–private partnership pilot program focused on countering violent extremism (CVE) in the United States. This program was the first of its kind. It directly addressed the administration’s concern about domestic violent extremism and radicalization in the United States. The Twin Cities’ program, Building Community Resilience, focused primarily on prevention of radicalization through a community and government partnership. This article analyzes tensions between government-sanctioned CVE approaches and the communities where programs are implemented. Until now, research and analysis have not been performed on this specific program from a community perspective. Studies in Conflict and Terrorism - Registration at source 25/10/2018 Research article On the Development and Application of EMMIE: Insights From the What Works Centre For Crime Reduction The What Works Centre for Crime Reduction was established in September 2013 with the aim of increasing the use of research evidence by decision-makers in policing and crime reduction. The EMMIE framework was developed to meet this aim. It encapsulates five broad categories of research evidence that are considered relevant to crime reduction, namely Effect size, Mechanism, Moderator (or context), Implementation and Economics. In this paper, we chart the origins and development of EMMIE. We also reflect on our experience of applying EMMIE both as a coding system to appraise systematic review evidence and as a framework to inform the design and conduct of systematic reviews in crime reduction. We conclude with a critique of EMMIE and with suggestions on how it might be developed and refined in the future. Policing and Society - Registration at source 25/10/2018 Research article Critical Success Factors For OSINT Driven Situational Awareness A critical element of successful intelligence-led law enforcement operations is the ability of the police and other security services to obtain timely, reliable and actionable intelligence concerning the problem, incident or investigation under focus. As well as traditional investigative techniques and information sources, open-source intelligence (OSINT) can provide additional capabilities for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) to manage an investigation or address the intelligence requirements of a given incident. This position paper introduces the concept of OSINT, identifies and discusses existing effective practices and critical success factors for the fusion of OSINT with traditional intelligence sources. This paper is written as a position piece based upon CENTRIC operational involvement in 14 UK based LEA open source investigations over the years 2015 to 2017. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 25/10/2018 Research article An Integrative Group Intervention For the Enhancement of Emotional Intelligence, Empathy, Resilience and Stress Management Among Police Officers This study investigates the effectiveness of an integrative group program of four 4-h sessions, designed to enhance emotional intelligence, empathy, resilience and stress management skills among police officers. Fifty police officers participated in this study, allocated to either the intervention group (n = 23) or the control group (n = 27). The participants completed various self-report questionnaires both before and after the implementation of the program, as well as three months later. Results indicated significant improvement of emotional intelligence, empathy, resilience and stress management levels in the intervention group, compared to the control group. In addition, the positive changes remained significant three months after the termination of intervention. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of an intensive, broad targeting group program, which could be integrated into the Police Academies to bring benefits at an individual, social and organisational level.

Home Office 25/10/2018 Report Police Vehicles As Symbols of Legitimacy To experimentally evaluate the effects of police vehicle types and aesthetics on participants’ perceptions of police officers. Using participant data (N = 307) from the Police Officer Perception Project (Simpson 2017), I experimentally assess the effects of police vehicles on perceptions of police officers. Specifically, I evaluate the impact of presenting officers in marked police vehicles (black and white versus white and blue), unmarked police vehicles, and unrelated (or civilian) police vehicles on perceptions of them as aggressive, approachable, friendly, respectful, and accountable. Police officers are perceived differently when occupying different types and colours of police vehicles. For example, officers are generally perceived more favourably when occupying marked police vehicles than when occupying non-marked police vehicles.

College of Policing 25/10/2018 News Body-Worn Cameras in the Post-Ferguson Era: An Exploration of Law Enforcement Perspectives In the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Missouri, confidence in police has weakened. Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are perceived to increase law enforcement transparency and accountability, and, by proxy, restore law enforcement legitimacy. Though the empirical status of BWCs has grown in recent years, missing from these accounts are the actual words and narratives of officers. Through a qualitative approach, the data and analysis within this paper overcome this issue and indicate that BWCs have had an impact on police–citizen interactions in one Southern American State. More specifically, citizen and officer accountability from BWCs was found to have positive and negative consequence. Officers articulated this supposition in a number of ways and the paper contextualises these perspectives within the extant literature. The policy implications and areas of future research from these findings are discussed as they inform a non-positivist approach to research.

The world has never changed as much as it has in the last decades, which means that the roles of police organisations in today’s societies are also changing rapidly. Police organisations face more challenging and more complex problems in more diverse societies. As a result, the police manager’s work has become more demanding. The importance of leadership to the performance of the organisation has been demonstrated in various studies. Police organisations need managers who are professionals in both management and leadership. Finland’s Police University College has developed a new and original management training program – the EMBA in Policing – in cooperation with Tampere University of Technology.
