A review of the current status of police leadership research and practice, with suggestions for future research directions This article, which consists of three systematic reviews covering the period 1992–2023, focuses on why scholarly knowledge of effective police leadership is limited. The literature on police leadership amounts to just 197 peer-reviewed journal articles; most of these are leader-centric and tend to uncritically echo the conventional literature, focusing on police leaders` traits and styles as independent of context and practice. Using three surveys of peer-reviewed journal articles and a sample of around ten contributions to the contemporary critical leadership literature on police leadership research, we make a series of recommendations for future directions. Firstly, the collective and relational nature of police leadership, which is understood to be a co-production involving leaders and followers, is under-researched. Secondly, studies are needed to narrow the gap between leadership theories and police leadership practice and recognise the need for research on what works or does not work. Thirdly, conceptual parameters and their effects on police leadership, particularly organisational, structural, and hierarchical conditions, should be examined in more detail. Each suggestion highlights the socially constructed, situated, relational processes and practice-orientated nature of leadership, which is essential if future research is to be relevant to police forces.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 23/9/2024 Analysis, Feature AI and policing: The benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence for law enforcement EUROPE: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has the ability to completely transform policing; from advanced criminal analytics that reveal trends in vast amounts of data, to biometrics that allow the prompt and unique identification of criminals. With the AI and policing report, produced through the Observatory function of the Europol Innovation Lab, we aim to provide insight into the present and future capabilities that AI offers, projecting a course for a more efficient, responsive and effective law enforcement model. This report offers in-depth exploration of the applications and implications of AI in the field of law enforcement, underpinned by the European Union's regulatory framework. It also looks at concerns about data bias, fairness, and potential threats on privacy, accountability, human rights protection and discrimination, which are particularly relevant in the background of the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act.

ABC News (Australia) 22/9/2024 News Presocialisation and police misconduct: Exploring new tools for predicting officer exposure to misconduct investigations Police literature in the area of presocialisation for police recruits is sparse, with growing but limited empirical evidence as to its effect upon police performance and conduct. There are studies that measure the influence of police personality within recruitment processes, and subsequent studies that address the potential for misconduct prediction in serving officers, but this has not been developed to a level that justifies widespread operationalisation. This study investigates prior socialisation and motivation before police employment as potential predicting factors in exposure to misconduct investigation. The study represents a survey (n = 214) that was disseminated via social media to retired police officers in the United Kingdom (n = 94) and the United States (US) (n = 120). The participants were asked to disclose their prior socialisation to policing through family or friendship contact, alongside their prior motivations for becoming an officer. These were then compared to examine if that prior socialisation influenced motivation type, and then both sets of variables were compared with self-reported exposure to misconduct procedure by the participants. The results show that gender and the originating country are significantly correlated with exposure to misconduct investigation in both bivariate and univariate analysis. Males are more likely to be exposed to misconduct investigation, and those in the US are also more likely to be exposed to misconduct investigation. Variability of job content and economic motivations approach significance but may require large sampling to explore properly. These results show that aspects of motivation were less influential than geographic location and gender in determining exposure to misconduct investigation, and illuminate several avenues of future research in this area.
