BBC 30/6/2025 News INTERPOL Crime Trend Update – Human trafficking-fueled scam centres Since reports first emerged in 2021, INTERPOL has increasingly sounded the alarm on human trafficking for the purpose of forced online fraud. The quickly evolving crime trend is double-edged, exploiting two distinct sets of victims. On the one side are victims drawn into human trafficking schemes, typically through false job ads, and detained in compounds where they are forced to carry out online social engineering scams. On the other side are the targets of those scams, who become victims of investment fraud, romance scams and frauds linked to cryptocurrency investing and online gambling.

Despite general consensus that emotional intelligence is important for a variety of outcomes in policing, most published studies on the topic have relied on crude measures, such as self-report assessments. While self-report tests are validated for many uses, their applicability as an objective measure of skills is limited. Design/Methodology: Using three studies, this paper outlines the development and validation of an emotion recognition test specifically intended for policing. The first study outlines the construction of the test focusing on expert responses and an item response theory analysis of responses to a prospective emotion recognition test. The second study utilizes the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test-Short Version (GERT-S) and two survey collection methods to demonstrate the newly constructed test has convergent and concurrent validity. The third study uses a separate data collection effort and use of force records from a large police department in the United States to examine predictive validity. Findings: The emotion recognition test demonstrated convergent and concurrent validity. While there was some evidence of predictive validity, the relationship between emotion recognition and uses of force was reduced to non-significance with the introduction of contextual factors in the analysis. Originality/Value: This study advances our understanding of emotional intelligence in policing by examining the utility of an objective, context-specific measure of emotion recognition. As police departments and policymakers push for emotional intelligence to be integrated into the hiring and training of police officers, objective tests of specific abilities in emotional intelligence are necessary. This study, however, provides only limited support for the impact of emotion recognition ability on officer behaviors such as the use of force. CRIMRXIV 30/6/2025 Research article An Exploratory Thematic Analysis of the Decision Challenges Faced by Emergency Responders During the 2017 Manchester Arena Attack On 22 May 2017, the Manchester Arena bombing resulted in twenty-two fatalities, marking the United Kingdom’s most lethal terrorist attack since 2005. A subsequent public inquiry revealed the necessity for improved operational, tactical and strategic response and management strategies, and highlighted the barriers to effective decision-making processes of those present during the incident. Integrating macro-level societal ideologies, meso-level group dynamics and micro-level individual factors to understand decision-making complexities and the challenges, the present study thematically evaluated decision making, providing fresh insights into the multifaceted nature of high-stakes decision making. Using twelve transcripts, with an applied data saturation approach, findings represented three primary themes across the macro, meso and micro dimensions. Combined, these findings highlighted gaps between theoretical concepts and training, and practical application in high-stakes situations. It also highlighted difficulties in immediate response action, command and control and balancing established protocols with the need for adaptability in unpredictable emergency situations. We conclude that response decisions should be driven by the desire to optimize least-worst outcomes.
