Policing Insight - Subscription at source 13/9/2025 Feature, Opinion Whistleblower warned police against axing mental health callouts Michael Brown repeatedly told senior officers and the Home Office that the Right Care, Right Person scheme was a serious risk to the public The Times - Subscription at source 13/9/2025 News The impact of body-worn camera footage on prosecution outcomes for tickets Objectives: This study aimed to assess whether police use of body-worn cameras (BWCs) affects officer discretion and court outcomes. Method: Study 1 (n = 6298) and Study 2 (n = 7229) are quasi-experimental field trials comparing officer ticketing behaviour and court outcomes for tickets based on BWC use. Results: BWC use did not significantly affect tickets issued or whether a speeding ticket was reduced. BWC tickets were resolved 25 days faster than non-BWC tickets. BWC tickets were more likely to result in a guilty verdict, but tickets can be resolved at three stages and BWC use did not consistently affect the likelihood of a guilty verdict at any stage individually. Conclusion: BWCs did not significantly affect officer discretion and had limited effects on court outcomes. This may be because footage can contain evidence or just document officer activities. A labelling system distinguishing between asset and evidentiary footage would increase the value of BWCs in court. Journal of Experimental Criminology 13/9/2025 Research article Perceptions of Police as Heroes and Support for Law Enforcement Police are frequently portrayed as heroes in media, literature, and political discourse, but little research has explored public perceptions of police as heroic. This study evaluates whether perceived police heroism is distinct from other perceptions of police, explores possible antecedents of perceived police heroism, including procedural justice, perceptions of policing as dangerous, and binding moral foundations, and examines possible associations between perceived police heroism, legitimacy, and willingness to empower and cooperate with police. To test our conceptual model, we use data from a national YouGov survey (N = 1225). Results indicate that perceived police heroism is distinct from other views about police. Perceptions of policing as dangerous, procedural justice, and binding moral foundations explain variation in perceived police heroism. Perceived police heroism is associated—directly or indirectly—with willingness to empower and cooperate with police. The model better explained cooperation than empowerment. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Additionally, we examined the variables that influence the likelihood of seeking help within the police, the relationship between measured variables and created a model explaining these relationships. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 279 police officers, representing 3.87% of the Slovenian police population. Depression was measured with the Male Depression Risk Scale. We found that 20.43% of police officers had a high or very high occurrence of depressive symptoms, with no significant difference in prevalence between male and female officers. We also found that 21.15% of police officers sought help within the organisation. Our findings highlight the need to integrate mental health screening into routine check-ups, establish effective referral systems, and implement stigma-reduction interventions to better support officers.
