Reuters 10/12/2019 News Impacts of Community Policing on Security: Evidence From Mbujimayi in the Democratic Republic of Congo This study adopts a quasi-experimental design to estimate the impact on security of the introduction of community policing in a district of the city of Mbujimayi, Democratic Republic of Congo. The authors suggest that security is best captured by a multidimensional index from which they derive a series of outcome indicators such as the incidence of insecurity, the vulnerability to insecurity, or the severity of insecurity. The data originate from representative surveys conducted at pre- and post-treatment times in the pilot and control districts. The main impact estimates are calculated using the Difference-in-Difference (DiD) approach. The DiD estimates are cross-checked with DiD estimates obtained with propensity score matched data to control for the selection bias inherent to quasi-experimental designs. After a year of treatment, the short-term effect of community policing is found to be efficient based on the security indicators and consistently so across approaches. The study finds that community policing impacted strongly on the two dimensions of security: access to policing services and police legitimacy. The effect of community policing is found however to be significantly higher for men than for women and to have had no or only marginal impact on younger women who remained vulnerable to insecurity even after treatment. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 10/12/2019 Research article Mindfulness, Self-Control, Implicit Bias, Race, Threat Perception Failure, and the Accidental Use of Deadly Force Against Off-Duty Police Officers This study explores the impact of mindfulness, self-control, race, and implicit bias on threat perception failure-based shootings against ununiformed officers in a training simulation. A sample of 79 students were recruited to participate in a law enforcement active shooter training simulation. Participants completed a mindfulness non-reactivity measure, the Grasmick Self-control Scale, and a Weapons Implicit Attitudes tasks (IAT). Then, participants assumed the role of a police officer in a training scenario designed to provoke wrongful deadly force. After hearing gunshots, participants in this scenario were confronted with either a Black or White male portraying an off-duty police officer holding a badge and pointing a gun at another role player lying on the ground. The mindfulness non-reactivity scale significantly predicted not shooting the off-duty officer in the combined race analysis and the White officer only analysis. Implicit bias only predicted shooting the Black officer when mindfulness non-reactivity was included as a covariate. Race moderated the correlation between self-control and the decision to shoot. Implications and future directions are discussed.
