Policing Insight - Subscription at source 14/5/2025 Analysis, Feature, Innovation Investigative interviews conducted with minor victims of sexual abuse: a comparison of children and adolescents To increase knowledge about the forensic interviews conducted with adolescents and children, this study compared 44 forensic interviews conducted with adolescents (ages 13–16) with those conducted with children (ages 7–10) victims of sexual abuse (SA). Comparisons were made on 1) the elaboration of victims’ responses regarding the type of content describing the SA and 2) the types of questions interviewers made to elicit this content. Both age groups provided highly-elaborated responses about actions and body parts, although children provided more evasive responses than adolescents regarding other potential victims or witnesses and the SA context. The interviewers employed more suggestive questions with adolescents about the SA context, and more invitations with children about internal referents. Interviewers are recommended to use more open-ended questions with adolescents, and future studies should focus on the reasons for using more suggestive questioning with adolescents.

BBC 14/5/2025 News Inspection highlights improvement in investigating crime and response to the public’ “Crime and anti-social behaviour continues to fall in Essex and we are pleased that HMICFRS have recognised how we have improved in ‘responding to the public ‘and ‘investigating crime’ since our last inspection.” That’s from our Chief Constable following the release of His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) most recent report published today (Wednesday 14 May). Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington said: “Ensuring that we look after our people so they can serve the people of Essex is essential. Equally ensuring the quality of the crime data to measure success and target resources is fundamental to reducing crime. So being assessed as ‘good’ in these two areas shows we are getting the foundations right. “Essex Police remains unfairly funded in comparison with other forces and parts of the country so to be assessed as ‘adequate’ across the complex range of services we deliver is recognition of the immense work by our officers, staff and volunteers along with the strong partnerships we have across Essex. There are areas identified where we need to improve and, in every area, we want to get better. We are already working on these and this is acknowledged in the report.“ Essex Police 14/5/2025 News Force missed chances to stop anti-social behaviour Essex Police missed opportunities to stop anti-social behaviour by failing to record where crimes had occurred, a report found.

BBC 14/5/2025 News Transformation-Related Anxieties and Worry About Crime: Testing the Sponge Function of the Fear of Crime Europe’s contemporary societies are characterized by rapid and profound upheavals. The diverse transformation processes erode people’s general sense of security. In line with the sponge function of the fear of crime, radical social change – in particular the associated uncertainties and anxieties – can be assumed to increase citizens’ level of crime-related fear. Accordingly, a survey study conducted in six Austrian cities investigates whether anxieties about mass immigration and economic decline foster worry about crime. The results indicate that both types of transformation-related anxiety facilitate fear of crime, net of established predictors of the concept. This entanglement suggests that fear of crime operates as a shared code for diffuse anxieties resulting from the transformations pervading present-day societies.
