This paper examines expressions of resistance when sexual harassment is addressed in the Swedish police, and analyses how such resistance can be understood in this context. The data consists of field studies and 65 interviews within the Police Authority and Police Academies in Sweden. The results show that sexual harassment is attributed to a few individual ‘rotten apples’ or framed as a ‘generational issue’, and thus not seen as a collective and organisational concern. The resistance strategies seek to protect an appreciated sexualised banter in the organisation, and criticise the tone, allocated resources, and attribution of responsibility in initiatives against sexual harassment, in particular an explicit gendering of the issue. The resistance moreover contributes to individualise and externalise sexual harassment and avoid accountability. The article discusses the implications of resistance practices for the organisation’s efforts to prevent sexual harassment and suggest that resistance must be acknowledged and addressed when implementing change initiatives. This is particularly important when change is perceived as challenging positive aspects of work culture and involves accountability for misconduct. Policing and Society 1/7/2025 Research article ‘The name of the game’: policing perspectives on cybercrime disruption There is an increasing focus on disruption as a response to cybercrime in criminological and cybersecurity research. This paper seeks to extend existing literature on the police role in relation to cybercrime. The paper is based on a large, international and comparative study on the policing of cybercrime involving 90 interviews with members of law enforcement or policing agencies across three Five Eyes countries. Disruption emerged organically as a major theme regarding how police pursue their role in two of those countries. The paper is framed around the following themes: the necessity for disruption, understanding disruption, approaching disruption, and evaluating disruption. Both countries tended to adopt different mandates in relation to cybercrime that subsequently impacted how disruption is defined, operationalised, and measured. However, underlying these differences was a shared perception that disruption was increasingly becoming the most pragmatic cyber policing strategy, which has significant implications for police policy and practice. Police Practice and Research 1/7/2025 Research article Dutch police to strip victim and witness data from crime reports to curb intimidation NETHERLANDS: Police and prosecutors in the Netherlands will begin shielding the personal details of crime victims and witnesses more strictly, aiming to prevent intimidation and fear among those who report offenses, according to De Volkskrant. The new approach takes effect Tuesday, coinciding with a law that sharply limits which personal data can appear in official reports. NL Times (Netherlands) 1/7/2025 News Specialist policing units as a pathway towards procedural justice for domestic abuse victims The available research on specialist policing responses to violence against women and girls highlights multiple benefits. However, there is limited evidence about the key features of specialist units, the specific mechanisms that lead to improved outcomes, and the extent to which procedural justice theory can be seen to underpin specialist alternatives to ‘business as usual’ policing approaches. This paper advances knowledge on the topic of specialist policing units designed to improve the response to VAWG, with a specific focus on domestic abuse, by reporting findings from two interlinked mixed-methods research projects that took place in Wales during 2023–2024, including workshops with representatives from the four police forces and a case study from one police force. Several types of data were collected and analysed: focus groups with police (n = 10 participants), interviews with police and partner agencies (n = 10), domestic abuse cases referred to a specialist unit over a 9-month period (n = 387), and survey feedback from domestic abuse victims (n = 413). The workshops revealed strong consensus around specialist units having a defined remit and a clear mission of being victim-led, with dedicated time and resources including specialist knowledge and expertise and arrangements in place for working in close collaboration with partner agencies. The Operation Diogel case study demonstrated how these underlying mechanisms generated a range of improvements when put into practice, including higher victim satisfaction, better safeguarding and criminal justice outcomes, and enhanced tradecraft, teamworking and morale amongst the officers involved.
