Greater Manchester Police (GMP) 12/5/2026 News What 8,000 officers just told us about design in policing John Oswald, Accenture: In my last piece (co-authored with Simon Lingard Woods and Viraj Joshi), I argued that public safety needs a different design doctrine: one that starts with collective need rather than individual desire, and that treats design as infrastructure rather than ornamentation.

Police Professional 12/5/2026 News Gendered policing and trust: transgender experiences and police education reform in Pakistan Police legitimacy research has largely been shaped by empirical and theoretical assumptions derived from Western liberal democracies, often overlooking how legitimacy is negotiated in postcolonial and Global South contexts. This qualitative study examines how transgender women in Pakistan experience police authority and how these encounters shape perceptions of legitimacy, trust, and institutional recognition. Drawing on in-depth interviews with transgender women and police officers in Punjab province, the study adopts an interpretative, phenomenologically informed approach to explore lived experiences of policing following the enactment of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018. The findings reveal that legitimacy deficits are produced through cumulative practices of discretionary refusal, interactional disrespect, and institutional non-response rather than isolated incidents of overt abuse. Despite formal legal recognition, transgender women frequently encounter conditional access to justice, particularly in relation to complaint registration and everyday police engagement. Police education and training emerge as an ambivalent theme: invoked by officers as a justification for hesitation and by transgender women as a hoped-for pathway to recognition, yet insufficient in the absence of clear protocols and accountability mechanisms. By integrating procedural justice and institutional trust frameworks with feminist and queer criminological perspectives, the study conceptualises legitimacy as a relational and contested process shaped by gendered power, discretion, and postcolonial state – society relations. The findings contribute to debates on policing, legitimacy, and gender diversity by demonstrating the limits of legal and educational reform in contexts where institutional practices continue to mediate recognition and protection unevenly.
