HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 15/11/2018 Report Police custody in Merseyside – a mix of positive aspects and some key concerns for inspectors An inspection of the treatment and conditions for detainees in Merseyside Police custody found a mixture of some positive aspects and key causes of concern. The force was effective in keeping mentally ill people and children out of custody and where children were refused bail it worked actively with local partners to find alternative accommodation. However, inspectors from HM Inspectorate of Prisons and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services, in a joint inspection in June 2018, noted that the service delivered to detainees did not reflect the force’s strategic objectives.

The Press (York) 15/11/2018 News The ‘Carrot’ and ‘Stick’ of Integrated Offender Management: Implications For Police Culture One of the many forms that modern policing takes is ‘integrated offender management’ (IOM). This involves the police working alongside staff from other agencies, including probation and prison officers and drugs workers, all in a bid to reduce offending by prolific offenders. Some of this work involves traditional policing methods of surveillance, catch and convict (the stick). The novelty for the police lies in the emphasis on drawing offenders away from crime through ‘pathway support’ such as helping them into employment and supporting them into stable housing arrangements (the carrot). In theory this changes the nature of the policing task considerably. Given the emphasis in the existing literature on how ‘cop culture’ derives from the nature of the job police officers perform, this raises interesting questions as to whether IOM officers exhibit different cultural traits from their mainstream colleagues. In this article, based on ethnographic fieldwork, I examine whether the operation of IOM, as expressed through officers’ talk and action, lives up to its rhetoric of a radical new approach to policing. Policing and Society - Registration at source 15/11/2018 Research article Do Graduate Police Officers Make A Difference to Policing? Results of An Integrative Literature Review This article updates and extends a literature review by Paterson on the attributes said to be brought to policing by graduate officers compared to their non-graduate counterparts. A number of methodological shortcomings in the research as well as criticisms levelled at various bachelor degree courses means drawing definitive conclusions is problematic. Overall, it seems policing or criminal justice degrees confers no particular advantage; rather, it is the experience of university per se that is important. Whilst too early to say what benefits the present Police Education Qualification Framework devised by the UK’s College of Policing will yield, current research is unable to confirm unambiguously that values associated with higher levels of education may bring improved policing outcomes. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 15/11/2018 Research article Reporting Harassment and Stalking to the Police: A Qualitative Study of Victims’ Experiences To date, there have been few studies with victims of stalking in the United Kingdom, and this is the first to have been conducted following the clarification of stalking as a criminal offense in 2012. In 2016, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Inspectorate (HMCPSI) announced the first ever inspection into harassment and stalking in England and Wales. This article presents research commissioned by HMICFRS as part of the inspection. In particular, we explore how victims described the response of the police and situate this within the context of changing legislation and previous research in the field. In total, 35 people shared their experiences of reporting harassment and stalking, 14 people completed an online survey, and 21 participants were interviewed. Responses were analyzed thematically and a series of themes were identified. The analysis suggests that despite the clarification of stalking as a criminal office in 2012, the majority of participants described poor responses from the police—with many describing police inaction, or inappropriate action—in addition to feeling blamed and not being taken seriously. The article considers possible explanations for these issues and concludes by calling for harassment and stalking legislation in England and Wales to be clarified, and for police training to shift the focus of the investigation from the behavior of the offender, to the emotional impact on the victim.
