This study aims to provide insight into the dynamics during investigative interviews with such suspects. To this end, 409 half-hour episodes of audio-recorded investigative interviews with 28 high-status suspects were analysed. Officers’ interview techniques are classified in four categories (rapport building; disclosure of potential evidence; adopting a challenging posture; authoritative signalling). Suspects' statements are classified into three categories (general disclosure; providing alternative explanations; uncertain statement behaviour). The dynamic relations between interviewers’ questions and suspects’ statements are studied, both within and across half-hour episodes. Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling 16/8/2024 Research article A Realistic Evaluation of Homicide Reduction Programmes The adapted EMMIE framework is based on the realist evaluation approach that seeks to understand what, how, for whom, and under what circumstances policies work. Realist evaluators aim to identify the underlying mechanisms that explain the functioning of policies. The framework refers to the (E) effect, (M) mechanism, (M) moderator/context, (I) implementation, and (E) economic costs of a policy. This research uses the adapted EMMIE framework to evaluate and assess the characteristics of 89 homicide reduction programmes. Results show that the EMMIE components for mechanisms and implementation were included to some extent by policymakers, but the remaining three components (i.e., moderators/context, effect size, and economic costs) registered low scores. It is concluded that the ineffectiveness of homicide reduction programmes may be due to deficiencies in programme evaluation and cost planning, but it may also be related to a lack of understanding of the contexts in which these programmes are supposed to work.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 16/8/2024 Feature, Innovation, Opinion Caught in a Vicious Cycle: Where are we with Stop and Search? Police in England and Wales are invested with specific legal powers to detain a person—who is not under arrest—and search them or their vehicle for unlawful items. The exercise of this coercive power has long been a source of tension and mistrust, particularly among minoritised and other marginalised communities, and has been repeatedly implicated among the causes of serious public disorder. Although concerns about the misuse of stop and search have created a recurring cycle of crisis and reform—stretching back over more than four decades—the fundamental problem remains unchanged. How did this happen and what should now be done about it? These questions will be addressed by considering how the policy problem has been framed over time, reviewing evidence on the impact of stop and search and identifying policy challenges associated with regulating the powers, including lessons that can be learnt from previous attempts at reform.
