As such, it has received considerable attention in both academic and policy circles. Yet, perhaps surprisingly, there remain notable question marks over its precise size and shape. With this in mind, the article draws upon data from the Security Industry Authority and the Office of National Statistics Business Register and Employment Survey to measure the sector along three key dimensions: the number of private security officers, the number of companies and turnover. This novel methodological approach reveals a complex and contested picture of what the sector looks like at a fundamental level and, at the same time, allows for a reassessment of commonly deployed indicators such as growth rates and the ratio of private security officers to police officers during key time periods such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

Policing Insight 5/8/2024 Advertisement, Feature, Interview, Opinion Exploring public cooperation with police: the role of police accountability, police effectiveness, and public trust Public cooperation with the police is crucial because the public acts as the eyes and ears of the police. Moreover, research on public cooperation with the police, including crime-reporting behaviours and willingness to cooperate with law enforcement agencies, remains scarce in post-conflict countries like Somalia. Therefore, this study investigates the roles of perceived police accountability and effectiveness in fostering public cooperation with the police in Somalia via the underlying mechanisms of public trust in the police. Data were collected from a sample of 470 respondents in Mogadishu, Somalia. The analysis employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed model. The study found that police accountability has indirectly and positively impacted public cooperation via public trust in police. Moreover, public trust in police positively and significantly impacts public cooperation with the police. The findings also revealed that police effectiveness, directly and indirectly, impacts public cooperation with the police.

In this third excerpt from our first webinar we hear from Dr Dory Reiling, Retired senior judge, Lead Reporter ELI digitalisation, International Journal for Court Administration on the topic of "Can AI support Judicial quality and efficiency". Dr Dory discuses how Artificial intelligence (AI) can support judicial quality and efficiency in courts, but there are challenges that need to be addressed. AI can perform tasks such as data extraction, drafting documents, and analytics. However, there have been instances where AI has caused problems, such as discrimination and biased results. Ethical principles for the use of AI in courts, including non-discrimination and user control, are important. Courts need to control the design and workings of their algorithms, ensure correct and secure data, and adapt their governance and work processes to effectively use AI.
