Express 18/3/2019 News Views From the Frontline: Graduate Police Recruits on the Status of Evidence-Based Practice This article presents findings from in-depth interviews with 30 police recruits participating in a national 2-year graduate training programme. Police Now comprises a 6-week training course followed by a neighbourhood policing post where operational skills are developed, and recruits are encouraged to apply problem-solving and evidence-based approaches to police work. This research was undertaken as part of a project to inform the development and implementation of the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) into policing. We explore interviewees’ perceptions about the value placed by police colleagues on evidence-based practice (EBP) and how different responses to EBP were ‘managed’ by interviewees. Findings show a largely disengaged attitude towards research, creating disconnect between ‘classroom’ emphasis and practice experience. Interviewees’ accounts of their first months in force show potential for rejection of training ideals but also willingness to challenge the perceived status quo regarding EBP. We reflect on the implications of findings for introducing the DHEP.

BBC 18/3/2019 News Checkpoint: An Innovative Programme to Navigate People Away From the Cycle of Reoffending: Implementation Phase Evaluation This study develops an evidence base for the use of deferred prosecution schemes within a police setting. Checkpoint is a voluntary adult offender deferred prosecution scheme operating in Durham Constabulary, UK. Checkpoint targets low-level offenders entering the Criminal Justice System by providing an alternative to a criminal prosecution. It offers a tailored, 4-month programme agreed through a contract. The scheme targets the reasons why offenders commit crime by assessing their individual needs in order to provide interventions. Applying theories of deterrence and desistance, we describe the process of the Checkpoint intervention and the implementation findings of the 519 offenders in the programme. The results indicate that the Checkpoint Implementation phase cohort achieved a lower re-arrest and reoffending rate in comparison to a typical Durham Out Of Court Disposal sample, at reduced harm and cost. The initial conclusions presented here establish the foundations for further research in this policy area. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 18/3/2019 Research article Applying An Outcomes-Based Categorisation to Non-Warranted/Non-Sworn Volunteers in United States Policing The use of volunteers for government service can improve civic engagement, collaboration in governance, and transparency. Policing is no exception, and throughout the United States many police agencies rely on volunteers to serve in various ways, including observational patrols, investigations, administrative support, chaplains, police explorer programmes, and search and rescue teams. While there are police volunteers in the United States that have police powers, this manuscript focuses on the varied ways that citizens participate in policing in non-warranted/non-sworn roles, and applies an outcomes-based categorisation to better understand motivations. Examples of volunteerism are provided, and the variation of use is discussed.

The Guardian 18/3/2019 News Legal Socialisation in Brazil: Examining the Generalisability of the Procedural Justice Model Research examining the legal socialisation process continues to be largely focused on US adolescents, calling into question the generalisability of this work. This study tests a popular model of legal socialisation – the procedural justice model – using a sample of youth in São Paulo, Brazil. Approximately, 750 12-year-olds completed a survey assessing their direct and vicarious contact with police, judgements of police procedural justice, crime perceptions, police legitimacy, legal cynicism, and criminal offending. Both direct and indirect experiences with the police were associated with lower procedural justice. Police legitimacy was associated with both procedural justice and crime perceptions; however, legal cynicism was only associated with perceptions of crime. Finally, higher perceptions of police legitimacy, but not legal cynicism, were associated with lower levels of self-reported offending. Overall, this study showed mixed support for the generalisability of the procedural justice model of legal socialisation.
