Policing Insight - Subscription at source 2/9/2024 Feature, Opinion Female-perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence Against Men: Perceptions of Portuguese Police Officers Police officers are the first responders to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). While formal protocols exist, their responses are also influenced by extra-legal factors. The present study aimed to understand the perceptions of police officers regarding male victims of IPV in heterosexual relationships. The sample comprised 1655 Portuguese police officers. The study was conducted online, and participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and an inventory containing 20 statements about IPV. Most participants revealed well-adjusted perceptions about the reasons for aggression and male victims’ stereotypes, and the reasons to stay in the relationship. However, perceptions about reporting and separation inhibitors were ambiguous. No differences were found in perceptions regarding participants’ gender or age. Participants who intervened on a higher number of IPV cases, with or without male victims, revealed more well-adjusted perceptions, compared to other participants. The study’s findings provide more insight regarding police officers’ perceptions of male victims of IPV and emphasizes the need to promote specific training among these professionals, to ensure an adequate and positive intervention with these victims. European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research - Subscription at source 2/9/2024 Research article Using Computational Systematic Social Observation to Identify Environmental Correlates of Fear of Crime There is great importance in understanding whether people perceive an environment as safe or unsafe. Perceptions are influenced by the built environment, and through better understanding, design interventions can be made to improve the feeling of safety. There is a rich body of research on this topic, yet it requires a lot of manual effort. In this work, we present an approach named Computational Systematic Social Observation (CSSO) to automate the collection and analysis process. The approach uses Google Street View and the Google Vision API to extract characteristics (herein referred to as features) of the built environment that is used to automate the process of understanding whether people will feel fear or safety. In testing this approach, we extracted ~1.3M images for the 100 locations and identified 297 features of the built environment. A measure of dependency demonstrated that some are more strongly associated with areas where people express a feeling of safety or fear. Further, through empirical testing, it is observed that these features can be used for classification. The results demonstrate the potential of the technique and were compared with human coders. The presented methodology and experimental research provide a foundation for systematic computational observation to identify environmental correlates of fear of crime.
