Longford Leader (Republic of Ireland) 2/7/2025 News Police innovation and institutional entrepreneurs: the emergence of police drug diversion schemes in England and Wales This article advances knowledge about the initiation of police innovation in the context of drugs policing. Drawing on the findings of a qualitative research project, it provides an original account of the emergence of police drug diversion schemes in England and Wales by analysing the complex interactions between individual, organisational and environmental determinants. The concept of institutional entrepreneurship is applied to examine the role of diversion entrepreneurs in the innovation process. These are the key police actors behind local schemes who had an interest in changing the institutional status quo. Diversion entrepreneurs wove together various forms of knowledge to frame problems and persuade stakeholders that diversion would address policing priorities and reduce demand by reducing reoffending and the resources needed to deal with people caught committing minor drug-related offences. Police budget cuts had created fertile ground for diversion as police organisations were leaning towards more proactive styles of policing which focus on prevention by addressing the underlying causes of crime. Making the case for diversion also required diversion entrepreneurs to highlight the shortcomings of existing practices and present diversion as a viable alternative to traditional enforcement interventions that seek to tackle drug problems through criminal sanctions. This involved interpretive struggles over the police role and managing perceptions of risk. It is argued that police scholars should pay closer attention to institutional entrepreneurship within police organisations to enhance understanding of processes of innovation and cultural change.

The West Australian (Australia) - Subscription at source 2/7/2025 News John MacDonald: Will police and judges deliver what the Govt wants? NEW ZEALAND: The Government has obviously decided that its law and order week. It started with tougher sentences for people who attack first responders and prison officers – which is a good thing. Then it was tougher sentences for people who dish out coward punches – that can’t come soon enough. And the latest are these tougher measures to try and do something about the rate of shoplifting. Again, something I’ve got no argument against. But here’s where the seed of doubt starts to emerge. When it comes to crime, pretty much the only thing governments can do is make sure there are laws in place to try and deal with it adequately.
