Law enforcement may be tasked with ensuring that the respondent does not have firearm access through the removal of any firearms the respondent already possesses. However, there is little information on law enforcement officers’ support for, or attitudes regarding this practice. To enhance the safety of victim-survivors of intimate partner violence who are granted domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs), courts can or must prohibit DVRO respondents’ access to firearms. Law enforcement may be tasked with ensuring that the respondent does not have firearm access through the removal of any firearms the respondent already possesses. However, there is little information on law enforcement officers’ support for, or attitudes regarding this practice. This exploratory study surveyed law enforcement chief executive officers (e.g. police chiefs and sheriffs) from three U.S. states (Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota). Using a binary logistic regression model and complete case analysis, we examined factors influencing officers’ support for DVRO firearm relinquishment. Support for firearm relinquishment was associated with three key factors. First, agents concerned with victim-survivor safety in cases of firearm-involved intimate partner violence were more likely to support a firearm relinquishment policy. Second, perceptions of logistical barriers, such as resource constraints or risk to officer safety, reduced support for firearm relinquishment. Third, concerns about infringement on Second Amendment rights negatively influenced levels of support. Law enforcement leaders would benefit from more robust guidelines around firearm relinquishment and removal. Offering clarity regarding how firearm relinquishment and removal may be served successfully, and the lethality that firearms pose in intimate settings, may allow for more support of such policies, ensuring the safety of victim-survivors of firearm violence.

BBC 21/4/2025 News Crime is non-partisan and the blame game on crime in cities is wrong – on both sides Politicians and journalists on across the US political spectrum have argued that recent election results reflect a frustration with Democratic policies on crime in cities; but new research by Harvard University Professor Justin de Benedictis-Kessner and Professor Christopher Warshaw at George Washington University suggests that neither party is doing a better job at reducing crime, nor addressing the ballooning financial cost and long-term reputational costs of policing in the US. Policing Insight 21/4/2025 Analysis, Feature, Opinion When trust turns digital: Public support for online crime reporting Objectives: First, to test whether trust in the police enhances user experience and support for online crime reporting portals. Second, to assess whether procedurally just follow-up communication and the priming of normative reporting motivations strengthen these effects. Third, to examine whether crime-type matters. Methods: A 2x2x2x2 between-subjects factorial experiment was conducted with 638 UK-based participants. Participants reported a hypothetical crime using an online crime reporting portal. Experimental conditions varied trust priming (high/low), reporting motivation (instrumental/normative), crime type (criminal damage/anti-social behaviour), and procedurally just follow-up communication (just/unjust). Key outcomes were user experience and support for online reporting. Results: The high trust prime improved user experience and support. Procedurally just follow-up communication amplified the effect. Reporting motivation and crime type had no significant impact. Conclusions: Trust and procedural justice improve public support for online crime reporting portals. Automated systems should ‘bake in’ principles of procedural justice via a human-touch wherever possible.
