We review the design and reporting standards for MMR and include examples from published policing research to showcase quality applications and identify areas for improvement. In this emerging and often misunderstood methodological paradigm, which consists of dynamic research designs and multiple interrelated components, it is crucial that authors follow best practices for design and reporting to ensure their studies meet the criteria for methodological rigor and improve future implementation of mixed methods in policing research. The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles - Subscription at source 11/11/2024 Research article Minorities’ Perceptions and Anxieties About Policing During COVID-19 in Finland Many research studies have premised that ethnicity or minority status is one of the most striking factors producing apprehension or dissatisfaction with the police. This paper discusses African and Asian migrants’ perceptions and anxieties about policing during the COVID-19 period in Finland. Migrants often bring unique perceptions and anxieties that contribute to their vulnerability within the broader society. The findings in this study indicate that most of the respondents are concerned about the police based on their anxieties or perceptions influence certain attitudes towards the police, whether negative or positive. This paper argues that minorities often marginalised in societal hierarchies, perceive bias in police attitudes and behaviours, which they view as reflective of the broader Finnish policing ideology. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 11/11/2024 Research article Developments in cannabis enforcement practices and patterns associated with non-medical cannabis legalization policies: a basic literature/data review Non-medical cannabis control has recently shifted to legalization policies in multiple jurisdictions, including North America. In addition to improved public health and safety, legalization aims to advance other, including ‘social justice’ outcomes, e.g. as related to cannabis law enforcement. We identified and examined (10) available studies from North American jurisdictions specifically assessing developments or changes in cannabis-related enforcement practices and patterns from pre- to post-legalization contexts. While source data-related study approaches and policy settings are heterogeneous, essential results suggest that legalization policy implementation has been associated with mostly 1) substantive reductions in enforced cannabis (e.g. possession/use) offenses involving legal-age adults; 2) mixed – ranging from decreases to increases – developments regarding enforcement targeting (under-age) youth; 3) decreases in total but persistence of relative race-related enforcement disparities involving both adult and youth populations. These data imply at least partial legalization-related successes toward improved related ‘social justice’ aims in these respects, while key questions remain, specifically concerning systemic enforcement biases involving racial minorities and the criminalization of underage youth as vulnerable groups. These enforcement-related outcomes of cannabis legalization policies warrant continued monitoring and in-depth policy-analytical examination, while jurisdictions newly implementing legalization should pay particular attention to ‘social justice’ objectives.
