Police Professional 14/10/2019 News Implications of A Field-Based Police Leadership Development Programme Evolving demands of the global police community to provide authentic, impactful leadership education and training programmes remain unabated. At the centre of this article is the evaluation of the impact of a unique simulation-based learning for leadership development for police officers. A mixed-method approach including field-based interviews 6 months post programme participation was applied to capture the officers’ perspective of their experience and the potential short- and long-term implications. The evaluation included the officers’ supervisors providing an important contribution in understanding the perception of the influence of the programme on the officers’ development and contribution to their professional practice. The key learning initiative discussed in the article is the influence of the unique mobile simulation-based learning approach for transfer of leadership learning to application in the field. The findings indicate that the learning experience is influential in supporting the development of the officers’ leadership capability and application in their operational duties and their approach to leadership and decision-making beyond the professional to their personal lives. Furthermore, the programme content and delivery design offer an efficient and effective leadership development strategy that is realizing tangible benefits for the officers, the organization, and the community they serve.

The Telegraph 14/10/2019 News The Influence of Sexual Assault Resistance on Reporting Tendencies and Law Enforcement Response: Findings From the National Crime Victimization Survey Despite its prevalence, sexual assault remains a vastly underreported crime. Previous research suggests that engagement in certain types of resistance during an assault affects the way in which both victims and others perceive the attack; such perceptions influence victims’ likelihood of reporting the assault to law enforcement as well as the criminal justice system response to reported allegations. Using a fight/flight/freeze theoretical framework, the current study sought to examine how forceful, nonforceful, and freeze responding influenced victim reporting and the extent to which reported assaults were pursued and investigated by law enforcement. Using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey between 2010 and 2016, logistic regression analysis indicated that victims are significantly less likely to report to law enforcement if they froze during the attack. Interestingly, although engagement in forceful resistance increases victims’ likelihood of reporting to law enforcement, it has no bearing on law enforcement response beyond the effect of physical injury. Rather, physical injury (e.g., bruises, cuts, broken bones) is the only predictor of law enforcement response to sexual assault allegations. Findings suggest that whereas fight and freeze responses to sexual victimization influence victims’ willingness to report to law enforcement, resistance is not uniquely predictive of law enforcement response once physical injury is considered.
