Here’s what works better NEW ZEALAND: In an emergency, police are often the first called to the scene. But they are rarely equipped to deal with complex mental health crises. Following recent parliamentary inquiries and royal commissions there has been a push – led by researchers, advocates and some senior police officials – for a shift to a health-led and paramedic-first response.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 2/6/2025 Feature An ethnographic multi-order and notice analysis of the policing practices associated with civil preventive orders and notices Within England and Wales and internationally, there has been a growing reliance on two-step Civil Preventive Orders and Notices (CPONs) to regulate sub-criminal (Anti-Social Behaviour) and criminal behaviour (Violence Against Women and Girls). Often applied using the lower civil evidential standard at the first step of the process, these powers enable early intervention and victim protection via prohibitive (e.g. exclusion zone) and positive requirements (e.g. anger management course). However, when a recipient breaches the notice, order or any of the requirements imposed, they commit a criminal offence, often punishable by imprisonment. There is presently limited understanding of how these powers are used within policing, their effectiveness, and legal and moral limits. As a result, this mixed methods ethnographic study of a single case study police force in England and Wales provides the first in-depth multi-order and notice analysis of the powers from initial introduction to implementation. The research draws on over 100 hours of ride-along ethnographic observations, sixteen semi-structured interviews, and secondary data from police statistics and policies. Utilising the combined theories of Preventive Justice, Street-Level Bureaucracy, and Risk Society to create the Proportionality, Appropriateness and Effectiveness (PAE) Appraisal Model for Preventative Powers. The findings reveal that due to policy weaknesses and the all-encompassing nature of risk, officers must act as policy entrepreneurs, creating informal processes to work through the CPON process haphazardly, challenging their most proportionate, appropriate, and effective use. Consequently, this study provides seventeen policy, practice, and research recommendations, offering practical insights for policymakers, practitioners and academics.

The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 2/6/2025 News Prioritising suspects using their activity locations Geographical offender profiling involves interpreting a range of geographic clues in support of identifying offenders in criminal investigations. This chapter describes a new geographical offender profiling approach that focuses on the clues revealed by known suspects’ previously recorded activity locations—such as their home addresses, workplaces or past crime locations—and how these clues can be used to prioritise suspects for further investigation. Our aim is to highlight the potential of this approach—as evident from its accuracy when implemented algorithmically and tested on solved cases—and provide some pointers for its application in practice. First, we summarise the theoretical foundations of the approach and describe a recently proposed theoretical model that explains near which activity locations people are likely to commit crime. Second, we detail how this model can be used in a structured way to inform inferences about which suspects are most likely to have committed a single crime or a series of crimes, given what the police know about their activity locations. We provide both quantitative (statistical or algorithmic) and qualitative methods for prioritising suspects, depending on the tools available and the size of the suspect list. CRIMRXIV 2/6/2025 Research article Shorter opening hours for Limerick Garda station REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Mayorstone Garda Station will have shorter opening hours from June 9, to allow for more Gardaí on the beat and on patrol in communities. Limerick Post (Republic of Ireland) 2/6/2025 News Correlates of Personnel Police Officers’ Commitment in Taiwan: A Comparison of Job Commitment and Organizational Commitment Meta-analyses conducted over time have consistently revealed that high levels of commitment are significantly related to work productivity, innovation, employee retention, and the recruitment of high-quality employees. However, commitment research on policing is understudied. Thus, the current study aims to analyze the correlates of job and organizational commitments among personnel police officers in Taiwan, along with the difference in the antecedents between the two types of commitment. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses of a sample of 480 Taiwan personnel police officers indicated that job commitment and organizational commitment have similar predictors. More specifically, both workplace fairness and the nature of the personnel police job are positively related to commitments. Implications for future research are discussed in the end.
