Winsford Guardian 21/7/2019 News Perception of Police Officer Effectiveness in China: Does Organisational Support Matter? The primary objective of this study is to examine the influence of officers’ perceptions of organisational support on their perceived effectiveness in China. The study also examined demographic differences in how Chinese police officers perceived the support they receive from the police organisation. To achieve these objectives, the present study surveyed and analysed data obtained from 271 officers who were conveniently selected from one of the two major national police universities in China. Findings from the analysis revealed that officers’ perception of organisational support and their effectiveness were unrelated. However, findings indicated significant demographic differences in perceived organisational support. Officers’ rank, department and the location of their agencies predicted perceptions of organisation support. Policy implications of the study findings are discussed. Police Journal 21/7/2019 Research article Policing Youth and Queerness: The Experiences and Perceptions of Young LGBTQ+ People From Regional Victoria Historically, police and the criminal justice system more broadly played a role in the policing of queer identity and the construction of queer communities as ‘deviant’. Emerging queer criminological scholarship has documented the extent to which this historical context (at least within the Global North) continues to shape interactions between police and LGBTQ+ communities, with these relationships sometimes marked by distrust and hostility, though positive changes are also evident. However, the majority of research to date has focused on the experiences of adult members of queer communities living in urban locations. As such, this project sought to examine the experiences of young queer people living in regional Victoria. Drawing on focus groups with young LGBTQ+ people, this paper examines participants’ perceptions of and experiences engaging with police. Participants’ views and experiences were diverse, with some continuing to harbour distrust for police, though positive experiences were also discussed. Some participants encountered harassment and discrimination from police perceived to be on account of both their youth and identity as LGBTQ+, suggesting the need to take an intersectional approach to understanding relations between police and queer youth and in continuing to improve relations between police and young queer people.

[pdf] Garda Síochána Inspectorate (GSI) (Republic of Ireland) 21/7/2019 Report Interracial Encounters With the Police: Findings From the NCVS Police-Public Contact Survey The public regularly encounter law enforcement. In an era of the Blacks Lives Matter movement and associated discord with law enforcement, understanding the contours of police–public relations and its potential consequences are paramount. Using national level data of police stops, we attempt to identify factors that influence attitudes of respect and legitimacy toward the police. Findings reveal that, among other things, race impacts perceptions of law enforcement through the interracial characteristics of encounters, a context in which some citizens are more likely to question police legitimacy even after controlling for other salient factors. Policy considerations are discussed.
