Policing Authority (Republic of Ireland) 23/7/2019 News An Appraisal of Investigative Psychology and the Applications to Suspicious Approaches to Children in the Irish Criminal Justice System Policymakers have a duty to base their decision making in the best available evidence relevant to the question at hand. This paper discusses why it is important for policymakers to recognize the valuable contributions to be made from within the fields of investigative and forensic psychology and particularly to inform the process of policymaking and legislative frameworks currently in place regarding suspicious approaches to children offences in the Irish Criminal Justice System. Discrepancies between legal and psychological considerations infer potential issues with policymaking; resulting in evidence‐based concerns regarding how suspicious approaches to children are handled. It is argued that in cases of suspicious approaches to children, important research is available within the fields of investigative and forensic psychology that warrants adequate consideration by policymakers. Additionally, the need for further collaboration between policymakers, researchers and front‐line enforcement agencies to ensure evidence‐based approaches for dealing with suspicious approaches to children and other criminal behaviours within the Irish criminal justice system is highlighted.

National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) 23/7/2019 News Digital strip searches” The police’s data investigations of victims [PDF] The scale and depth of the police’s mobile phone searches are incomparable with the police’s legislative powers to carry out physical searches. It would amount to police searching someone’s property and taking copies of all photographs, documents, letters, films, albums, books and files. These would be intrusive searches even for most suspects of crime. But now, police are carrying out these intrusive digital searches against victims of crime.

BBC 23/7/2019 News Ethnography and Narrative This paper explores the topic of police storytelling from an ethnographic perspective. Ethnographies have always been full of stories, but it took a while for storytelling as such to draw attention to it within the broader study of police culture. Lately, we have seen increased attention for storytelling in policing. Recent studies cover new ground: they comment on story tellability, on police storytelling among recruits, on the differences across settings, and more. Nevertheless, a more systematic treatment of this topic is still lacking. This paper reviews the literature on police storytelling. Its purpose is to come to a more thorough and critical understanding of storytelling in policing (studies), which allows us to identify some challenges and opportunities we see for future (ethnographic) research.

Police Professional 23/7/2019 News The Impact of Individual Differences on Investigative Interviewing Performance: A Test of the Police Interviewing Competencies Inventory and the Five Factor Model We examined whether and how individual differences impact investigative interviewing performance by using the Police Interviewing Competencies Inventory (PICI) and the Five Factor Model (FFM) in a two-step research design. In Study 1, the structure of a modified version of the PICI was assessed using a general population sample (N = 300) and a four-dimensional aptitudes scale was created. In Study 2, student participants (N = 154) completed the aptitudes and the FFM scales, and then interviewed witnesses who watched a mock robbery crime video. Interviewer performance was assessed based on the amount of details they could elicit, the perception of the witness, and researcher ratings of behaviours and question usage. Three dimensions of the FFM were correlated with the success measures: Agreeableness with witness perception and appropriate questioning, Extraversion with researcher ratings and inappropriate questioning, and Openness with researcher ratings. Only the Communicative-Insisting dimension of the aptitudes scale predicted high researcher ratings. Findings might help police departments to identify potential successful interviewers.
