Police Professional 21/3/2024 News Transparent Communication in Counter-Terrorism Policy: Does Transparency Increase Public Support and Trust in Terrorism Prevention Programmes? Within research and policy on preventing and countering terrorism, transparency is viewed as a necessity to generate public support and trust for counter-terrorism policies. Yet there is no systematic evidence to support these assumptions while research in other policy areas has challenged these assumptions, showing some forms of transparency might decrease support and trust. This paper presents results from two experimental surveys conducted in the United Kingdom to examine the effect of increased transparency on support and trust for terrorism prevention policy. Our findings challenge the widely held assumptions with regard counter-terrorism policy: increased policy information about a prevention policy (based on real Prevent websites) decreases support for Prevent, it makes people less likely to report suspected radicalisation to Prevent, and it has no effect on trust. Conversely, transparency which communicates the rationale behind policy decisions (in this case, the controversial Prevent referral process) increases policy acceptance, decreases the intent to protest, and increases trust in the prevention programme. The findings have global implications for counter-terrorism policy which is primarily based on positive, linear assumption on the relationship between transparency, trust and support—the most common form of transparency these policies use is at best ineffective and at worse counter-productive. Terrorism and Political Violence 21/3/2024 Research article The eyes have it! Functional field of view differences between visual search behavior and body-worn camera during a use of force response in active-duty police officers Although officer body-worn cameras (BWCs) have improved transparency of police interactions within the community, BWCs have a limited field of view, are subject to bias, and do not account for the factors that influence rapid decision-making by officers, including their visual attentional control and perceptual processes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the camera perspective of six critical incidents and position data from BWC compared to eye tracking and head movement data in a use-of-force scenario from 44 active-duty police officers. The analysis of gyroscope and accelerometer data demonstrated low correlations between eye cameras and BWC position data. Officers attended 80.5% of all critical incidents, whereas BWC view captured only 66.2%, especially missing key events ( Police Practice and Research 21/3/2024 Research article The Application of Expressive Writing as an Intervention for Test Anxiety Illustrated with the Toronto Police Exams The present study explored the effect of expressive writing on the test anxiety of eight law enforcement participants while preparing for their Toronto Police Entrance Test. The intervention took place a month before they were due to take the test instead of the conventional practice of implementing it a few days before the test or even during the actual test. An expressive writing journal was given to them. They were instructed on how to write their thoughts about their test anxiety for 25 min during one supervised session uninterrupted. A Thought Record Questionnaire was also given to them. They were instructed to itemise the causes of their test anxiety and to rank their corresponding intensity before and after their journal writing. They would continue ranking their intensity for the next 4 days. The results revealed that the participants who benefitted the most were those who were able to alleviate their test anxiety for an extended period as indicated on the Thought Record and who were able to adequately offset their adverse thoughts as indicated on their expressive writing journals. The findings from this small-scale mixed methods study showed that it is possible to adopt expressive writing as a tool to self-manage test anxiety during the preparation of a test and not just as a means of alleviating test anxiety during the actual writing of the test on the scheduled date. The findings also showed that it is possible for expressive writing to address stress—including traumatic stress.
