Why is it that a gathering of mostly white working-class men protesting about a rape is met by a line of menacing riot cops, and yet a gathering of primarily non-white youths running riot on a high street is given the kid-glove treatment? Following the events in Epsom last night, this query should be on everyone’s lips. The Spectator 16/4/2026 Feature, Opinion Effects of trauma informed interview training for police sexual assault investigators on knowledge and behavior: A randomized experiment using standardized actors. Objectives: This experiment assessed the impact of a 40-hr victim-centered trauma-informed (VCTI) interview training for police sexual assault investigators in Kentucky, USA, on their knowledge, confidence, and behavior. Methods: Using a randomized design, 113 officers participated in eight VCTI courses that were assigned to treatment and control groups. Pre- and post-training surveys and simulated interviews with standardized performers trained to portray survivors were used to assess the effects of the training on officers’ knowledge of trauma-informed techniques, confidence to interview survivors, and interview performance. Results: VCTI training significantly improved officers’ knowledge, confidence, and performance in simulated interviews. Gains in interview knowledge and confidence were sustained over time. However, knowledge of survivor trauma declined during the follow up period (6 or more months post training). Conclusions: VCTI training increased officers’ knowledge, confidence, and behavior. Findings support broader adoption and evaluation of VCTI training to promote effective responses.

College of Policing 16/4/2026 News Out-of-school suspension and police contact: Identifying early opportunities to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline The aim of this study was to examine the association between out-of-school suspension from primary school and early contact with police (by approximately 14 years of age). Using data from the New South Wales Child Development Study, this study determined the prevalence and pattern of suspension (by timing, total number, total days, and reason) and police contact (any, person of interest, victim, and/or witness) among 68,121 children who attended NSW public schools during 2012 to 2015 (Years 3 to 6). Associations between suspension and police contact were analysed using a demographically matched sample that compared all 3,291 suspended children with 6,582 like non-suspended peers. Suspended children had almost quadruple the odds of police contact relative to non-suspended children after controlling for other factors. Children with more suspensions, and suspensions for more serious reasons, had even greater likelihood of police contact, especially as a person of interest. Findings highlight a need for systemic education and interagency reform to enact effective alternatives to suspension.
