ABC News (Australia) 9/6/2025 News Britain’s police force isn’t fit for the 21st century In last Friday’s early evening rush hour, three police vehicles had parked by the side of the North Circular Road in west London to deal with an incident involving a car and a van. A woman was sitting on a foldaway camping chair, looking shocked. Beside her was a young, uniformed officer, diligently writing an account of what had happened in her notebook. As I drove past, I thought how, over the next few hours, those notes would have to be typed up onto a computer, along with any other crucial details she had jotted down by hand, while all the key information would also need to be transferred into multiple different databases. How much of the officer’s time would that take up back at the police station when she could be on the beat or responding to other emergencies?

Police Professional 9/6/2025 News Predicting police contact: Exploring the impact of legal cynicism on residents’ willingness to contact the police Research on legal cynicism – the perception that the law and law enforcement officers are illegitimate, unresponsive, and ill-equipped – reveals a complex and heavily nuanced relationship between civilians’ perceptions of the police and their engagement with police services. While legal cynicism is said to reduce civilian crime reporting, it has not always been shown to dissuade civilians from contacting the police for help. Drawing upon data from the United States 2020 Police-Public Contact Survey, this study establishes legal cynicism as a facet of residents’ cultural repertories about the law and the legal system (i.e., a ‘toolkit’ residents draw on to guide their behaviour). Legal cynicism predisposes an unwillingness to contact the police for help in the future. This study grounds past scholarship by utilizing a specific measure for the three facets of legal cynicism, offers critical insight into the evolution of legal cynicism, and argues for practitioners to expand upon procedural justice strategies to improve police-community relations.
