Attitude of Kenyan Police Officers Security management is becoming complex in today’s society due to increased transnational crimes, which are enhanced by technological advancements. To address this challenge, police agencies need to continuously adopt and effectively apply more innovative decision-support tools in policing. Kenyan police officers are however still using push-pins on paper-maps to analyze crime. The goal of this study was therefore to determine how crime is documented, mapped and analyzed in Kenya, and to assess Kenyan police officers’ attitudes toward adoption of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in spatiotemporal crime analysis. A descriptive survey targeting 120 police officers was carried out at the Kenya National Police Service (NPS) headquarters in Nairobi. Only 94 subjects (78%) of the targeted sample responded to the study. The study reveals that crime recording by NPS is done on paper-based occurrence books (OBs), statistical analysis is executed on Ms Excel and spatial analysis is performed using paper-maps. Among the respondents, 70% believed GIS technology would be useful in spatiotemporal crime analysis while 57% were uncertain the technology would be easy to use. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 13/11/2019 Research article A Systematic Review of Mental Health Symptoms in Police Officers Following Extreme Traumatic Exposures In addition to high-risk and high-stress events that police officers routinely encounter, many are also exposed to extreme traumatic exposures or disasters caused by nature (eg. Hurricanes) and human action (e.g., terrorist attacks or plane crashes). These exposures can result in a variety of adverse reactions including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder, major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Understanding and accurately measuring the burden of disease arising from involvement in extreme events, on policing organizations and individual police officers is critical for policy makers and those who plan and deliver services. This systematic review synthesizes existing research on large-scale disasters, in order to further our understanding of how extreme events impact the mental health of police officers. The results found variability in the reported rates of mental disorder; however, there are some clear trends. Overall, the rates of PTSD among police officers that are consistently lower than those of civilians affected by the same disaster, and are lower than other occupations. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 13/11/2019 Research article Policing and Prosecuting Sexual Assault: An Examination of Arrest and Initial Filing Decisions in Cases Involving Adolescent Complainants Sexual assault case processing has steadily received increased attention from scholars, with promising implications for the criminal justice system. Despite this increase in attention, however, there remains a dearth of literature addressing adolescent sexual assault case processing. Moreover, the few studies that have examined adolescent sexual assault case processing have resulted in inconsistent findings. The present study addresses this gap in sexual assault case processing literature by using adolescent sexual assault case files from Los Angeles County to assess the decision-making factors that influence arrest (N = 205) and initial charge filing (N = 152). Results indicate that decisions to arrest and file initial charges in adolescent sexual assault cases are influenced by similar factors: victim cooperation, physical evidence, prompt reporting, and victim age. Exceptions include suspect age and victim credibility, which only influenced arrest decision making. Theoretical, policy, and practice implications are discussed.
