RTÉ (Republic of Ireland) 24/9/2025 News The Journey from College to Law Enforcement: Crossing the Threshold into a Policing Career As law enforcement agencies face ongoing recruitment challenges, understanding the factors influencing university students’ career interests is critical for developing effective hiring strategies. This study examines factors influencing students’ interest in law enforcement careers, focusing on diverse populations in Texas and California. Using survey data from 802 students across various majors, we analyze how attitudes toward police, procedural justice, media exposure, punitive attitudes, and recruitment event attendance shape career aspirations. Findings show that criminal justice majors, males, and Hispanic students express greater interest in law enforcement, while concerns about political issues, procedural justice, negative media coverage, and job dangers discourage others from pursuing this career path. These insights can inform recruitment strategies tailored to diverse demographic and academic groups. Criminal Justice Review - Subscription at source 24/9/2025 Research article ‘There is nowhere that you can go, that I can’t find you’: The experiences of women in abusive intimate relationships with serving police officers in England and Wales Police-perpetrated domestic abuse refers to a range of abusive behaviours – such as violence, sexual assault and coercive/controlling behaviour – committed by serving police officers or police staff members towards intimate partners or family members over the age of 16. This article presents qualitative findings from a small-scale exploratory study, to understand how police-perpetrated domestic abuse is experienced from the perspective of the intimate partner. A sample of ten women in England and Wales took part in in-depth, semi-structured online interviews. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the data, to fully explore the unfolding experience of the relationship from the participants’ perspective. Women detailed escalating control and violence, with perpetrators using the techniques, knowledge and resources afforded by their job. Their accounts suggest that police perpetrators were enabled by workplace camaraderie and networks, and that the ‘policing identity’ had elevated symbolic importance to these officers. Reflecting across the findings, we observe how police perpetrators are trusted professionals who may leverage positional and charismatic authority, and thereby ‘mobilise bias’ to conceal or minimise their offending. We suggest that policing organisations draw on the experiences of victims–survivors and counter-mobilise a strategy of connecting ‘low-level concerns’, which may be reported over time by colleagues, family and members of the public. This could help reduce the potential for serious harm by police perpetrators and contribute to rebuilding trust in the police institution. International Journal of Police Science & Management 24/9/2025 Research article Exploring the Effect of Counterstereotype and Perspective Taking in Reducing Bias and Promoting Empathy in Police Racism in policing continues to be a serious issue in the United States (U.S.). While most efforts to reduce racism, focus on changing implicit (i.e., nonconscious) racial biases, other factors may also influence behavior. Intergroup emotion theory posits that emotions, especially empathy, may play a powerful role in changing behavior. In this study, using community-based participatory research design we created and tested a virtual reality (VR) experience designed to reduce implicit racial bias through perspective taking and counter-stereotypical information. Fifty-six police officers from a large city took part in the study. They completed questionnaires and an implicit association task (IAT) before and after the VR experience to measure empathy and racial bias. After using the tool, officers showed a significant drop in implicit racial bias. The parts of the VR experience that included counterstereotypes increased empathy, as well as the components that encouraged officers to engage in perspective taking. Importantly, the empathy that officers reported during the VR experience was predictive of a stronger interest in working with community members through community building activities. This study shows that empathy, an emotion that can build connections, is a key factor to meaningful change in policing through bias reduction and empathy building.

By tracing key reforms, we analyze how the length, structure, and purpose of in-field training have shifted over time. Compared to other Scandinavian countries, Sweden has the shortest period of in-field training, raising concerns about its role in police education. Despite efforts to enhance supervision and establish clearer learning objectives, in-field training remains marginalized, with no clear consensus on its function. Drawing on the research field of practical knowledge, we investigate in-field training as a structured learning process essential for professional development. We argue that the historical uncertainty surrounding in-field training reflects a broader lack of recognition of in-field training as an integral part of police education, reinforcing a persistent divide between theoretical instruction and practical experience.
