In recent years, law enforcement agencies have enhanced intimate partner violence (IPV) policies and increased the frequency of required training. Yet, there is limited research that addresses how experience and training are related to evaluations of heterosexual and same-sex disputants in an IPV incident. This research investigates how officers perceive heterosexual and same-sex disputants in IPV incidents and examines how officer experience, frequency, and recency of required IPV training affect evaluations. Law enforcement officers (n = 309) across 27 states responded to a hypothetical scenario of an IPV incident between a heterosexual or same-sex couple. Dependent variables included perpetrator and victim arrest, perceived fairness of non-arrest options, willingness to provide referrals for perpetrator and victim, and severity of victim injury. Officers believed that the use of some non-arrest options was fairer when the perpetrator was a gay male or heterosexual female and there were no significant effects for arrest options. Referrals to a domestic violence hotline and injury severity varied by perpetrator and victim gender and sexual orientation.

BBC 1/6/2018 News The future of neighbourhood policing The Police Foundation 1/6/2018 Report ‘A Really Hostile Environment’: Adiaphorization, Global Policing and the Crimmigration Control System This article examines institutional practices designed to control criminalized migrants in the UK and advances three arguments. First, these practices have evolved, since the early 1970s, into a bespoke ‘crimmigration control system’ distinct from the domestic criminal justice system. Second, this system is directed exclusively at efficient exclusion and control; through a process of adiaphorization, moral objections to the creation of a ‘really hostile environment’ have been disabled. Third, the pursuit of the criminalized immigrant—a globally recognized ‘folk devil’—provides a vital link between domestic and global systems of policing, punishment and exclusion. The UK crimmigration control system is an example of wider processes that are taking place in institutions concerned with the control of suspect populations across the globe.

Oxford Mail 1/6/2018 News Forensic Analysis of Unknown Materials: A Different Vision of Questioned Documents One of the biggest challenges in forensic analysis is the correct identification of unknown materials found in a crime scene or crime scene related. Forensic document analysis comprises the characterization, identification and differentiation of various materials such as inks, paper, glues, coatings, laminates, waxes, among others for which it is necessary to use advanced analytical methodologies. In the present study, some unknown materials were correctly identified and characterized using techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM / EDX) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), as well as the analysis of morphology and other physical and chemical characteristics inherent to the suspicious material under study. Based on some case studies, the significant contribution of this kind of identification to the criminal investigation will be demonstrated. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 1/6/2018 Research article Eupol Afghanistan: Civilian Policing in A War Environment EUPOL Afghanistan was established in 2007 as a non-executive Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) civilian mission, and came to an end in December 2016. Its primary objective was to strengthen the Afghan National Police (ANP) in the domain of civilian policing. EUPOL did contribute to the reform of the ANP, which was one condition for Afghanistan’s long-term stability. At the EU level, the Mission contributed to shaping the current civilian CSDP – and the EU is today better equipped to plan and run civilian missions. Yet the nature and scale of the challenges that EUPOL faced were huge, and the Mission was not designed and resourced to effectively tackle those challenges. Most specifically, the fact that the Mission focused on civilian policing (and ‘community policing’) while most of the ANP was involved in counter-insurgency operations – and was therefore going through a process of militarisation – was a recurrent problem. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 1/6/2018 Research article Local Ownership and Community Oriented Policing: the Case of Kosovo This article provides an overview of the history and the current state of affairs of community-oriented policing (COP) in Kosovo. Based on qualitative research in this country, the focus is on local ownership and the challenges posed by local culture to the implementation of COP in communities. From the beginning, COP in Kosovo was strongly related to peacebuilding and police reform efforts of the international community. After the war in 1999, UNMIK introduced COP strategies using a top-down approach, allowing very little local ownership and public involvement in the process. After 2004, UNMIK began to retreat and transfer more and more responsibilities to the Kosovo government. Different COP forums, like Community Safety Action Teams Programs (CSATs), Local Public Safety Community Councils (LPSCs) and Municipal Community and Safety Councils (MCSCs), were introduced. After independence in 2008, the EU took over from the UN and emphasized approaches focussing on local ownership while at the same time pushing heavily for reforms in the police sector. The outcomes of these efforts had limited success, while numerous challenges are still ahead. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 1/6/2018 Research article Political Change, Organisational Fluidity and Police Training: The South African Case The establishment and evolution of a constitutional democracy held considerable implications for police training in South Africa. The historical record at our disposal indicates that since 1992 police training has been a topic of debate around which a wide range of practical interventions aimed at the restructuring of police training have been forthcoming. The South African case study allows us to reflect on how the fortunes of police training – its philosophy, methodology and logistics – have been shaped by a complex mix of factors relating to structural realities, political developments and organisational changes. This paper tracks the momentum for reform of police training which existed as the new constitutional rechtstaat came into being and the kinds of mechanisms which played a key role in creating a new vision for police training and translating that vision into practice. The focus then shifts to a consideration of the internal and external influences which have diluted the momentum for change. The paper concludes by reflecting on the latest round of conversations in which the need for reforming the processes of selection, recruitment, training and deployment of police recruits are identified. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 1/6/2018 Research article Female Leaders in A Male Organisation: An Empirical Analysis of Leader Prototypicality, Power and Gender in the German Police Female leaders defy not only leader stereotypes, which typically call for powerful “great men”, but they also find themselves at odds with an organisation specific leader prototype. In the case of the police this prototype should be particularly male and powerful. The present paper explores the impact of gender on the perception of leader prototypicality and power in the police. In a pre-study, we first question 34 high-ranking police leaders on their views on prototypical leader traits within the police. Based on these findings, we then compare female and male police officers’ perceptions of prototypical leaders and displayed power. Our data gained from 106 male and 34 female officers indicate that the main effect of women trusting and endorsing leaders more than their male colleagues is driven by a significant gender difference in the attitudes towards non-prototypical and highly power displaying leaders. Prototypical and low power leaders were trusted and endorsed equally by both genders. We discuss the implications for aspiring and existing female leaders in a male-dominated domain such as the police, and highlight leader prototypicality and power as new venues for gender research within organisations.
