By analyzing quantitative data from Hampshire Constabulary, this study describes in detail police engagement with the mentally ill. Findings showed how people in mental crisis were increasingly detained by the ambulance service using the Mental Capacity Act and taken to A&E Departments. Nationally, police officers were also found to be increasingly taking Section 136 detainees to A&E. The majority of people contacting Hampshire displayed delusions which were unlikely to result in a police response and may disproportionately account for the overall growth in contact with the police. The data suggest that ‘Triage’ schemes alone will not be effective in reducing detentions. Hampshire’s partnership and discretionary approach is successful in reducing detentions. Recommendations for policy, practice, and further research are provided.

BBC 25/6/2019 News Police Union Contracts: An Analysis of Large Cities The impact of police union contracts on administrators’ ability to hold their officers accountable is an understudied are of police accountability. While there is anecdotal evidence that some contracts contain provisions that could militate against accountability, and some scholarship has reviewed state Law Enforcement Officer’s Bill of Rights and found troublesome provisions, whether or not municipal police contracts routinely contain similar provisions is unknown. The research conducted herein is designed to address this knowledge gap. We review 47 contracts from some of the largest cities in the USA with a view towards finding provisions which could impede misconduct investigations, along with describing the frequency and contours of those provisions. Using directed content analysis, we find provisions across several domains of interest—including citizen complaints, police interrogations, disciplinary hearings, and police disciplinary records—within union contracts that could shield officers from accountability, and discuss their implications.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 25/6/2019 News Saturation Policing and Robberies: Quasi-Experimental Evidence About the Effect of Sudden and Quick Operations Latin America is the only region in the world where lethal violence increased in the first decade of the 21st century, and its citizens identified crime and violence as their main concern. Though previous literature shows promising results of saturation policing on crimes, little rigorous evidence exists on the impact of these strategies on the cited region. I study the effects of the implementation of a special saturation policing operation in Uruguay, a Latin-American country that has experienced a huge increase in crime in the last decade. I employ a difference-in-difference approach exploiting the fact that the saturation operation was applied only in the capital of Uruguay due to restriction of resources. I find that the capital experienced a reduction between 20% and 30% in robberies in comparison with the control cities.
