The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 1/8/2025 News Police officers’ perceptions of citizens and support for procedural justice policing: the mediating roles of identity and self-legitimacy Procedural justice policing has won the interest of many police organisations who seek to improve police-community interactions and relationships. While this organisational support is invaluable for fostering procedural justice among the ranks, the success of implementation relies on buy-in from frontline officers who are expected to use procedural justice in their community interactions. Prior research suggests officers' perceptions of the public's support for police may affect their own support for, and use of, procedural justice. This article explores whether police officers’ perceiving their community as supportive of police is related to officers’ support for procedural justice. Furthermore, it draws on psychological concepts of identity formation to offer and test two mechanisms for explaining this relationship. Specifically, the study tests whether officers’ self-legitimacy and identification with their community each mediate (explain) this relationship. Drawing on survey data from 306 Australian police officers, we find that officers’ belief that the public are supportive of police predicts officers’ greater support for procedural justice. We also find that officers’ perceived self-legitimacy and identification with their community simultaneously mediate this relationship. We discuss the implications of these findings for both theory and police practice. Policing and Society 1/8/2025 Research article NPCC report on the progress made by police forces to act on the recommendations of the stalking super-complaint In November 2022, a super-complaint was submitted by Suzy Lamplugh Trust, on behalf of the National Stalking Consortium. The substance of this super-complaint was that public bodies across England and Wales are failing in their duties to protect victims of stalking and, following an investigation by HMICFRS, College of Policing and the IOPC, 29 recommendations were made in the Police Response to Stalking report. Of the 29 recommendations, 15 were specifically made for consideration of Chief Constables of respective forces in England and Wales. The purpose of these recommendations is to identify ways in which police forces can improve their response to stalking, and to ensure a more co-ordinated and consistent approach to stalking investigations across all police forces in England and Wales. In November 2024, each police force published a bespoke action plan in response to the super-complaint, detailing their current practice and future plans to meet the recommendations. In March 2025, each force provided a 6-month update to their action plans to demonstrate the progress they have made. These updates were supplied to the NPCC and form the basis of this report. The purpose of this report is to collate and disseminate an executive summary of the response to the 15 recommendations within force action plans, covering common themes, best practice, and areas for further improvement. As an executive summary, this report will not provide extensive detail of every individual force action plan; for this, please refer to the relevant police force action plans which should be available via their website. gov.uk 1/8/2025 Report Progress made to improve police response to stalking Key improvements following stalking super-complaint.
