Sky News 19/6/2025 News Concerns with police practice in investigations into the deaths of Indigenous people in Canada Inadequate death investigations for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) in Canada are a growing problem. Despite several government initiatives and specialised police task forces, Indigenous families continue to report that investigators fail to conduct complete investigations into their loved ones’ deaths. At the centre of many of these concerns is the role that police play, or do not play, in fulfilling standard investigative procedures. This paper presents a thematic analysis of concerns made by Indigenous people about MMIP investigations in Canada, including three in-depth case studies from Prince Rupert, B.C. and 53 family testimony transcripts from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Women and Girls. Three themes on primary investigative concerns in Indigenous cases emerged including (1) police discrepancies and biases at the time of report intake, (2) failures to collect evidence and information during investigations, and (3) lack of officer communication and support for bereaved families. The discussion throughout identifies the role of the police within these investigative concerns and incorporates cautions from academic literature. The study includes both professional and community recommendations for policing institutions to improve future investigations into the deaths of Indigenous people and support the well-being of the bereaved.

The Guardian 19/6/2025 Analysis, Feature Policing in a globalized world: Some practical implications for policing and police training This is a conceptual and explorative article that discusses how the police and policing in Sweden and the UK are affected by global and transnational conflicts, politics and events that spill over into local contexts. Our examples are the riots after the burning of the Quran in Sweden during Easter 2022 and the riots that followed the murders in Southport in the UK in summer 2024. To deal with these and similar conflicts, we argue that the police must pay closer attention to global and transnational dimensions and events. Despite that there are empirical reasons for arguing that “the local” is closely entwined with “the global” in areas such as economics, politics and social media, there is very little (if any) research on how police and policing are affected by the complex processes that interlinks local delivery with global events, and how these tensions are experienced by and affecting police officers in their everyday work. This article wants to draw attention to this research lacuna and call for more research on how global and local dimensions are interlinked and have an effect on public discourses, conflicts and tensions in communities, and on policing The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles 19/6/2025 Research article Review finds ‘clear and significant shortcomings” in investigation into Harry Dunn’s death A full independent review into the way Northamptonshire Police conducted the investigation into the death of teenager Harry Dunn in a fatal collision almost six years ago has found “clear and significant shortcomings”.

Police Professional 19/6/2025 News The influence of workplace friendships on police firearm use Early police ethnographies suggest that officers are shaped by the colleagues around them. Officers’ workplace networks, including friendships, and routine day-to-day interactions are theorized to serve as key channels through which behaviors such as use of force spread. Yet, few studies have directly traced how these networks transmit force-related behaviors. To address this gap, we mapped the workplace friendship ties of more than 1,500 officers in a large US police department. We then asked whether officers’ firearm use is shaped by the colleagues they consider close friends. Longitudinal network models show that officers tend to adopt similar levels of firearm use to that of their workplace friends, even when accounting for individual characteristics and situational variables. These findings indicate that firearm behavior is shaped not only by personal attributes and work environments, but also by officers’ friendships.
