ABC News (Australia) 25/11/2024 News Methodological Developments and Innovations of the National Crime Victimization Survey, 1972–2023 Over its 50 years of existence, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) has changed to address the informational needs of its users, as well as adapt to an evolving survey climate. Perhaps more than any other victim survey in the world, data quality has been an emphasis. In this article, the evolution of the methodology of the survey is described up to the point of the 2024 redesign. The first section provides an abbreviated description of the innovations and methods instituted up through the redesign in 1992. This section highlights key milestones and refers the reader to more detailed descriptions of the origins of the NCVS and the 1992 redesign. The second section provides more detail on methodological issues and changes since the 1992 redesign. This article closes with the challenges the survey faces moving forward into the mid-21st century. Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice - Subscription at source 25/11/2024 Research article Intersections between policing and mental health at the neighbourhood level: Evidence from England Despite widespread assumptions, there is surprisingly little firm evidence on the extent of police activity among people who face, and in areas where people face, more mental health and well-being challenges in the United Kingdom. We conducted a secondary analysis of existing data from four different sources to examine the relationship between police stop-and-search practices and the prevalence of mental health issues across England. Our findings indicated an association between higher stop-and-search incidents and the prevalence of mental health issues outside London, persisting even when controlling for factors like ethnicity, age demographics, deprivation, crime rates and accessibility to local services. By contrast, within London, stop-and-search frequency correlated more with higher crime rates and ethnic diversity, whereas the prevalence of mental health issues and other socio-demographic factors showed no significant impact. This is the first national-level study to illustrate that area-level mental health, the percentage of Black individuals, and overall ethnic diversity directly influence the prevalence of stop-and-search incidents across the country. International Journal of Police Science & Management 25/11/2024 Research article Is the interrogating/interviewing of crime perpetrators no longer suspect?

International Journal of Police Science & Management - Subscription at source 25/11/2024 Research article Investigation and detection: Back to the future This article reflects upon the key insights and evidence from policing research with regards to the organisation and conduct of police crime investigations and detective work. In particular, it attends to how a number of innovative technologies have had a shaping effect on this aspect of the police role. A central thread of the argument developed is how shifts in the context for policing, associated with the information environment has been inducing socio-technical changes to how crimes are investigated and resolved. Projecting forward from such developments, the article concludes by speculating on the ways the increasing availability of 'opensource intelligence' might reconfigure the social organisation of police crime investigations. International Journal of Police Science & Management 25/11/2024 Research article Beyond ‘police discretion’: The need for a new conceptual vocabulary What are we talking about when we talk about police discretion? The concept is ubiquitous yet ambiguous and amorphous. In analytical terms it is redundant, but its continued use remains (for some) convenient and politically expedient. References to police discretion, connote as much as they denote, and in so doing they reproduce politico-legal structures that legitimise, enable, and may even embolden, discriminatory policing practices. We conclude, therefore, that policing scholars ought to move beyond discretion, developing a new conceptual vocabulary for making sense of police power.

Police Professional - Subscription at source 25/11/2024 News Segmenting the Rape and Serious Sexual Offence (RASSO) investigator workforce: implications for wellbeing and burnout There is increasing awareness of police investigators’ wellbeing and the rising prevalence of burnout symptoms, creating long-term difficulties for policing. We utilized Maslach and Leiter’s approach to segment the workforce population for Rape and Serious Sexual Offence (RASSO) investigators based on a cross-sectional survey of 18 police forces (n = 2,108) across England and Wales. We fitted a Proportional Odds model to analyze the factors associated with the odds of becoming disengaged and burned out. The findings show that RASSO investigators were grouped as ‘effective’ (39%), ‘ineffective’ (26%), ‘overextended’ (24%), ‘disengaged’ (2%) and ‘burned out’ (9%). Strong effects predicting disengagement and burnout were noted for increased stress levels and organizational or self-imposed pressures to work despite being unwell. Higher odds of being disengaged or burned out were related to dissociative views toward victim-survivors, including negative attitudes to specialist training, which we hypothesize were related to the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, where an individual cognitively compensates in emotionally challenging situations. Increased workload, the impact on work-life balance and being mid-career (10–20 years) increased the odds of disengagement and burnout. A supportive learning environment combined with salient and credible health policies were shown to be protective factors, reducing the odds of being disengaged or burned out. Preventative interventions focusing on enhancing the learning environment alongside early identification and treating the build-up of stress to prevent long-term manifestations of burnout are recommended. The linkage between worsening RASSO investigator wellbeing and dissociative attitudes toward victim-survivors is a crucial finding from this study.
