This paper reviews the existing literature of community-oriented policing and finds
that it falls short in many areas because it represents a natural system orientation
and a technical-assistance approach to community development. It suggests that the
next stage of community policing requires an open system founded in the self-help
approach to community development and new governance principles.

Full program implementation was hindered by officer resistance and a shift in
organizational priorities away from community policing. The beat meeting context
provided a traditional framework for policeresident interactions that precluded more
comprehensive use of community data and possibly heightened dissatisfaction with

significant predictors of citizen participation in Block Watch programs. Contrary to
other findings in the literature, fear of crime and social cohesion were not significantly
associated with participation in either program.

How much time should the police spend at crime hot spots? answers from a
police agency directed randomized field trial in Sacramento, California.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07418825.2012.710645
Hot spots policing has been shown to be an effective strategy for reducing crime
across a number of rigorous evaluations, but despite this strong body of research,
there still exist gaps in our knowledge of how officers can best respond to hot spots.
We report on a randomized experiment in Sacramento, California that begins to
address these gaps by testing the recommendation from prior research that police
officers randomly rotate between hot spots, spending about 15?min patrolling in each.
Our results suggest significant overall declines in both calls for service and crime
incidents in the treatment hot spots relative to the controls. Additionally, the study
was carried out primarily by the Sacramento Police Department without any outside
funding. In an era of limited economic resources for policing, this experiment
suggests a model by which police agencies can take ownership of science and oversee
the implementation and evaluation of evidence-based interventions.

Secured by Design (SBD) is an award scheme that aims to encourage housing
developers to design out crime at the planning or concept stage. The scheme is
managed by the Association of Chief Police Officers Crime Reduction Initiatives (ACPO
CPI) while the day-to-day delivery of the scheme is conducted by Architectural Liaison
Officers (ALOs) or Crime Prevention Design Advisors (CPDAs) working for individual
police forces throughout the United Kingdom. The scheme sets standards for
compliance that developments must meet to be awarded SBD status. This article
presents the findings of research conducted over a 10-year period (1999-2009) into
the effectiveness of the SBD scheme as a crime reduction measure. Utilising a variety
of methods, the research aims to establish whether residents living within SBD
developments experience less crime and fear of crime than their non-SBD
counterparts; whether SBD developments show less visual signs of crime and disorder
than their non-SBD counterparts; and finally, whether properties built to the SBD
standard are able to sustain any crime reduction benefits over a 10-year period.

Police-monitored CCTV cameras in Newark, NJ: a quasi-experimental test of

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11292-011-9125-9
This article presents a test of the crime-deterrent effect of police-monitored street-
viewing CCTV cameras using viewsheds of areas that were visible by cameras via
direct line-of-sight and that were digitized using easily replicable methods, Google
Maps, and standard GIS tools. A quasi-experimental research design, using camera
installation sites and randomly selected control sites, assessed the impact of CCTV on
the crimes of shootings, auto thefts, and thefts from autos in Newark, NJ, for 13
months before and after camera installation dates. Strategically-placed cameras were
not any different from randomly-placed cameras at deterring crime within their
viewsheds; there were statistically significant reductions in auto thefts within
viewsheds after camera installations; there were significant improvements to location
quotient values for shootings and auto thefts after camera installations. There was no
significant displacement and there was a small diffusion of benefits, which was
greater for auto thefts than shootings. The system of cameras in Newark is not as
efficient as it could be at deterring certain street crimes; some camera locations are
significantly more effective than others. Results of a system-wide evaluation of CCTV
cameras should not be the only basis for endorsing or contesting the use of CCTV
cameras for crime control or prevention within a city. Future research should test
whether the effectiveness of CCTV cameras are dependent upon the micro-level
attributes of environments within which they are installed.

Farm crime is a relatively neglected area of research in the criminological literature.
Some work has been conducted in the United States and Australia, however, little
attention has been paid to the subject in the United Kingdom. There have however,
been recent concerns voiced about farm crime in England and Wales from both the
public and private service sector as well as across the media. This article has two
main aims: one, to ascertain why farm crime has recently emerged as a rural crime
issue, when up until now it has been relatively neglected by a broader rural crime and
governance framework and two, to consider how the policing of farm crime can
expect to fare in the future. The paper begins with a brief review of the existing farm
crime literature before situating its neglect in the United Kingdom within a broader

8

rural crime and governance framework. Thereafter, the main focus moves onto the
policing of farm crime both in its current state and within the context of recent policy
developments in crime governance.

502 shoppers were interviewed at five shopping malls in Southern England. Using
photographs, most correctly identified the police officer and the PCSO, whereas fewer
recognised the Accredited Safety Officer (ACSO) and private security guard. Police
officers instilled the greatest feelings of safety, well above PCSOs, who, in turn, were
rated above security guards and ACSOs. Police officers also generated the most
worries, especially among young women. Police officers emit control signals that
have stronger positive effects on reassurance, reflecting correct identification
combined with established regard and confidence. Patrol officers who were not police
officer provided weaker control signals. Correct identification made less difference to
reassurance they provided, especially for security guards. Police officers appear to be
as cost-effective as PCSOs, though far less so than private security officers.
Successful reassurance policing depends on who carries out the policing as well as
what is policed.

Russian citizens' perception of the police has been consistently overwhelmingly
negative since 1991. This study found experiences with corruption had significant
negative correlations with police trust. Trust was found to be independent of social
class position. Bribery and abuse of power had significant co-variations with unfair
treatment. Citizens actively avoid any police contact and their perceptions appear to
be predominately influenced by a lack of institutional trust.

trust in the police rose significantly in the immediate aftermath, but then returned to
pre-terror levels within a year. Moreover, trust in the police has not fallen below pre-
terror levels despite strong criticism in the heavily publicised July 22nd commission
report. This suggests a deep-seated belief in the willingness and ability of the
authorities to address and correct dysfunction in the police organisation.

Public confidence in the police is measured by the British Crime Survey (BCS), which
has shown a recent rise in the level of public confidence shown in the police, from
48% in 2003/04, to 53% in 2007/08; though it still remains lower than it once was. A
number of factors are thought to influence public confidence in the police, such as,
the legitimacy of the police, public fear of crime and socio-demographic factors. For
example, gender, race and age. Clearly, it is important to the police, if they are to
help the public in assisting in the prevention of crime and to comply with the law, if
that public has confidence the service provided
by the police. As an operational priority, the Bolton Be Safe Strategic Partnership
aims to improve public confidence through a framework for improvement based on
community engagement and, specifically, through the provision of information to the
public via the distribution of community newsletters. This study explored the
effectiveness of the strategy in association with a number of socio-demographic
factors.

In the context of stalking, perception research has often been framed in terms of
whether or not particular behaviours constitute stalking. This research found that the
framing of the opening question (question frame) was found to impact on the
classification of behaviour, with a greater proportion of participants indicating that the
behaviour represented harassment or stalking rather than an illegal act. Conduct
severity and the perpetratortarget relationship influenced perceptions of stalking,
however there was no evidence to suggest that the framing of the opening question
influenced these perceptions.

This paper considers 3 problems for both law and psychology in the area of
identification: Delay effects, confidence and children. 236 children (aged 7-8 or 13-
14-years-old) attempted identification from either target-present (TP) or target-
absent (TA) video parades, after either two days or two weeks, following exposure to
a live target. With TP line-ups correct identification was the most frequent response,
but with TA condition, the most frequent response was a false identification. The 3-
way interaction of delay, age and response was significant under both conditions.
Further analysis revealed that delay was the major contributor of variance, causing an
increase in errors for both age groups in TP delayed line-ups but only for the younger
age group in TA delayed line-ups. Confidence varied as a function of type of
identification response made, with the highest confidence being given to a correct
identification in a TP line-up. However, response confidence entered into a number of
interactions involving both delay and age.

Research examining detection of verbal deception reveals that lay observers generally
perform at chance. Yet, in the criminal justice system, laypersons that have not
undergone specialist investigative training are frequently called upon to make veracity
judgements (e.g., solicitors; magistrates; juries). The authors of this article seek to
improve performance by manipulating the timing of information revelation during
investigative interviews. Findings suggest that the detection of verbal deception by
non-expert observers can be enhanced by employing interview techniques that
maximize deceivers cognitive load, while allowing truth-tellers the opportunity to
respond to evidence incrementally.

Video parades are the preferred method of identification employed in criminal cases in
the UK. This article examines the effect of new video technology on children's
identification evidence. 215 7-9 and 13-15-year olds witnessed a live event and then
after a delay of 2-3 days viewed a target present (TP), or target absent (TA) video or
photo lineup. With video and photo TP lineups, the correct response did not differ as a
function of age. Video lineups produced lower rates of false identifications for the TA
lineups, but only for adolescent witnesses. It is concluded that there is nothing
contra-indicated in the use of video identification procedures with children, and
possibly certain benefits can accrue from its use.

The aim of this study was to investigate own age bias in older (aged 61-83 years) and
younger (aged 18-35 years) adult witnesses. The participants viewed films of two
similar staged thefts, one depicting a young culprit and the other an older culprit.
After a short delay of 40-60 minutes witnesses were presented with two separate
video line-ups, one for each target. In one line-up the target was present (TP) and
the other the target was absent (TA). Older adults performed more poorly in target
present and absent line-ups, and showed no own-age bias, while young adults were
less likely to falsely identify a young adult from the TA line-ups.

The current paper reviews research that has investigated developmental differences
in lineup identification. A wealth of studies have shown that children can be as
accurate as adults when making a correct identification from a target present lineup
(TP), however children are more inclined to choose and thereby make a false
identification from a target absent (TA) lineup, as compared to adults. The literature
reviewed, suggests that the disparity between children's and adult's performances on
TA lineups is due to children being unable to resist the social demands to choose
someone from a lineup and/or the need to give a positive response. Employing a
silhouette within a lineup, that can be chosen if the target is not recognised, appears
to be the most successful technique for reducing false identifications made by child
witnesses. Including a silhouette as a part of a lineup, along with the lineup
administrator being attired in casual clothing, rather than a uniform, are two simple
measures that could make child witness identification evidence more reliable.

aged 5-7 and 8-11 years to view a film of a staged theft and then, 1-2 days later,
showed them either a TP or TA video line-up. Half of the witnesses viewed line-ups
that included a 'mystery man' (a black silhouette with a white question mark), which
they could select if they did not recognize anyone from the line-up. When the
'mystery man' was present in the line-up, there were significantly fewer false

The present study investigated whether child (sixeight years of age) and adult
witnesses (1829 years of age) would exhibit an own-age bias when trying to identify
targets from video lineups. One hundred and eighty-six participants viewed two
filmed events that were identical, except one starred a child target and one a young
adult. After a delay of twothree days each witness saw a lineup for the child and
adult target. Children exhibited an own-age bias and were better at correctly
identifying the own-age target from a target-present (TP) lineup and made more
correct rejections for the own-age target-absent (TA) lineup. Adults however, showed
a reversed own-age bias for the TP lineups as they made more correct identifications
for the child target, but exhibited no bias for the TA lineups. The results suggest that
differences in identification accuracy may be due to whether witness age and suspect
age overlap.

Identity-lineup location influences target selection: evidence from eye

Eyewitnesses often have to recognize the perpetrators of an observed crime from
identity lineups. In the construction of these lineups, a decision must be made
concerning where a suspect should be placed, but whether location in a lineup affects
the identification of a perpetrator has received little attention. This study explored this
problem with a face-matching task, in which observers decided if pairs of faces depict
the same person or two different people (Experiment 1), and with a lineup task in
which the presence of a target had to be detected in an identity parade of five faces
(Experiment 2). In addition, this study also explored if high accuracy is related to a
perceptual pop-out effect, whereby the target is detected rapidly among the lineup. In
both experiments, observers eye movements revealed that location determines the
order in which people were viewed, whereby faces on the left side were consistently
viewed first. This location effect was reflected also in observers responses, so that a
foil face on the left side of a lineup display was more likely to be misidentified as the
target. However, identification accuracy was not related to a pop-out effect. The
implications of these findings are discussed.

In 2006, critical review procedures were introduced in the Dutch police to prevent
tunnel vision in criminal investigation. Five years after its introduction, an empirical
study has shown that the way the reviews are organized and implemented is
extremely variable. The reviewers are faced with the fundamental dilemma of
closeness versus distance in their relations with the investigation team. In practice,
critical reviewers often concentrate not only on the reduction and prevention of tunnel
vision, but also enhancing the quality of the criminal investigation. The critical review
concept appears to have had modest beneficial effects on the criminal investigation
process.

Individual differences in shifting and spatial working memory were significant
predictors of the extra-time taken to lie, compare to truth-telling. No significant
relations between deception outcomes and personality measures were noted. Looking
at social desirability, the Impression Management scale predicted a further portion of

functions. The use of an individual differences approach to deception is
recommended.

free recall attempt compared with the first, whether eye-closure during the first recall
attempt had an impact on subsequent free- and cued-recall performance, and
whether eye-closure during the second free recall could facilitate the recall of new,

as having poorer face recognition performance.

The results show that the number of criminal convictions for the parents is positively
related to their children's conviction rate. Children whose parents had only been

Bringing together some of Europe's leading criminologists, the 28 chapters of this
book aim to reflect the range and depth of current work in Europe, and to
counterbalance the impact of the Anglo-American criminological tradition. The
selected papers reflect on differences and commonalities, elaborate on theoretically
grounded comparisons and reflect on emerging themes in criminology in Europe.
Following the introduction, the book is organised in three parts: Part 1, European
issues on crime and crime control, five chapters offering historical, theoretical and
policy oriented overviews of European issues in crime and crime control; Part 2,
Variations in crime, description and explanations, seven chapters looking at different
dimensions of crime in Europe, including crime trends, state crime, gender and crime
and urban safety; Part 3, Variations in institutional responses and possible
explanations, fifteen chapters examining the variety of institutional responses,
exploring issues such as policing, juvenile justice, punishment, green crime and the
role of the victim.

handgun ownership is positively related to serious violence but not for less serious
violent crimes. Multilevel analyses on the data from 26 developed countries show that
owners of a handgun show increased risk for victimization by violent crime. High
ownership levels, however, seem to diminish the victimization level for the less

Drawing on ideas from deterrence and labelling theories, this paper seeks to
determine whether individuals on different violent offending trajectories increase or
decrease their offending following a police contact. Three violent trajectory groups
emerged: high offenders, non-offenders, and low offenders. After accounting for
selection bias, experiencing a police contact increased the likelihood of future violent
offending for the entire sample and for those who were on a low violent-offending
trajectory specifically and the findings provide partial support for labelling theory.

Analyses National Incident Based Reporting System data from 2000 to 2004 to
determine how domestic violence arrest policies, along with incident, offender, and
victim characteristics, influence arrest outcomes in violent incidents committed by
juveniles against their parents. Results indicated that domestic violence arrest policies
had positive effects on arrest outcomes both for juvenile females and males accused
of assaulting a parent, as juveniles were more likely to be arrested in states with
mandatory or pro-arrest policies than in states with discretionary arrest policies.
However, there was also evidence that, beyond the effects of the domestic arrest
laws, girls became increasingly more likely to be arrested for assaults against parents
relative to boys.

(NPIA) in close consultation with the Department of Health, the Ambulance Chief
Executives Group, the College of Emergency Medicine and the Police Service. It takes
account of the key requirements of the ACPO Guidance on the Safer Detention and
Handling of Persons in Police Custody and provides a framework that will support
improved service delivery and the appropriate use of resources. It may be
supplemented by detailed local procedures.
This protocol seeks to ensure the appropriate and safe management of detainees who
are suspected of swallowing or having packed drugs or foreign objects in body orifices
or cavities. It applies to adults and children and young people and issues of
appropriate safeguarding and parental authority may also apply.

This article argues that the conceptualisation of private police in current academic
literature requires expansion to accommodate the role of the regulated sector in the
Anti- Money Laundering (AML) framework. Firstly, it evaluates the literature on
private police and argues that its current parameters are too narrow to
accommodate the policing role of the regulated sector. Secondly, it lays out the
legislative framework that has developed to deal with the problem of money
laundering. Thirdly, it contextualises the role of the regulated sector, examining the
domestic inter-agency policing relationships within the suspicious activity regime as
operationalised in Scotland. Finally, it takes a closer look at how the courts have
interpreted the failure to report offence under s330 of the Proceeds of Crime Act
(POCA) 2002 and its consequential effect on the engagement of the regulated sector
with the SARs regime.

Recent published research has lead to improved techniques for recovering latent
fingermarks from metallic surfaces. The present study corroborates and extends some
of the work carried out by Bond but an alternative mechanism is proposed for the
thermal visualisation of fingermarks based on differential oxidation and the production
of interference colours that improve contrast. Fingermarks treated at low temperature
could be reheated to enhance recovery, but an upper temperature limit occurs beyond
which the mark degrades. The mechanism of enhancement is discussed

Vacuum metal deposition (VMD) and cyanoacrylate fuming (CAF) are techniques used
to visualise latent fingermarks on smooth non-porous surfaces such as plastic and
glass. The smoother fabrics, such as nylon, consistently produced greater ridge detail
whereas duller fabrics, like cotton tended only to show empty prints and impressions
of where the fabric had been touched, rather than any ridge details. Most fabrics did
allow the development of touch marks that could be targeted for DNA taping which
potentially could lead to a DNA profile. Of the two techniques VMD was around 5
times more effective than CAF, producing a greater amount of ridge detail, palmar
flexion creases and target areas on more samples and fabrics.

Investigation into the behaviour of air rifle pellets in ballistic gel and their
interaction with bone.
WIGHTMAN, Graham; BEARD, J; ALLISON, R

Although air weapons are considerably lower in power than other firearms, there is
increasing concern that serious injuries can result from their misuse. The present
study was therefore carried out to improve understanding of the terminal ballistic
behaviour of air rifle pellets. Pellets were fired into ballistic gel under a variety of
conditions.
The pellets penetrated further than anticipated from their low cross-sectional density,
and Bloom number was not necessarily a good guide to gel behaviour. Pellet
penetration into the gel decreased with increasing gel concentration, and appeared to
be linear at higher concentrations. Pointed pellets penetrated up to 50% further than
rounded pellets. Power and range affect penetration, but other factors are also
important, and power alone is not a simple guide to potential penetration.
Test firings were also carried out firing pellets into ballistic gel that contained sections
of animal bone. Computed tomography (CT) and visual observation were employed to
record the interactions. CT scanning showed potential as a tool for examining pellet
damage. The bone appeared to be undamaged, but the pellets were severely
deformed on impact. If the pellet strikes the bone at an angle, less energy is
absorbed by the impact and the pellet fragments may ricochet and cause further
damage in the gel. A tentative model is proposed for estimating the energy absorbed
by the impact.

Operation Ceasefire is a problem-oriented policing intervention aimed at reducing
youth homicide and youth firearms violence in Boston. It represented an innovative
partnership between researchers and practitioners to assess the city's youth homicide
problem and implement an intervention designed to have a substantial near-term
impact on the problem. Operation Ceasefire was based on the pulling levers

deterrence strategy that focused criminal justice attention on a small number of


chronically offending gang-involved youth responsible for much of Boston's youth
homicide problem. Our impact evaluation suggests that the Ceasefire intervention
was associated with significant reductions in youth homicide victimization, shots-fired
calls for service, and gun assault incidents in Boston. A comparative analysis of youth
homicide trends in Boston relative to youth homicide trends in other major U.S. and
New England cities also supports a unique program effect associated with the
Ceasefire intervention.

The objective of this study was to assess whether targeting new gun buyers with a
public safety message aimed at improving gun law awareness can modify gun
purchasers behaviours. Between May 2007 and September 2008, 2,120 guns were
purchased in two target neighbourhoods of the City of Los Angeles. Starting in August
2007, gun buyers initiating transactions on odd-numbered days received a letter
signed by prominent law enforcement officials, indicating that law enforcement had a
record of their gun purchase and that the gun buyer should properly record future
transfers of the gun. The letters arrived during buyers 10-day waiting periods, before
they could legally return to the store to collect their new gun. Subsequent gun
records were extracted to assess the letters effect on legal secondary sales, reports
of stolen guns, and recovery of the gun in a crime. An intent-to-treat analysis was

46
Whats New in the National Police Library June 2014

also conducted as a sensitivity check to remedy a lapse in the letter program between
May and August 2007. The letter appears to have no effect on the legal transfer rate
or on the short-term rate of guns subsequently turning up in a crime. However, we
found that the rate at which guns are reported stolen for those who received the
letter is more than twice the rate for those who did not receive the letter (p
value?=?0.01). Those receiving the letter reported their gun stolen at a rate of 18
guns per 1,000 gun-years and those not receiving the letter reported their gun stolen
at a rate of 7 guns per 1,000 gun-years. Of those receiving the letter, 1.9% reported
their gun stolen during the study period compared to 1.0% for those who did not
receive the letter. The percentage of guns reported stolen in these neighbourhoods is
high, indicating a high rate of true gun theft, a regular practice of using stolen-gun
reports to separate the gun buyer from future misuse of the gun, or some blend of
both. Simple, targeted gun law awareness campaigns can modify new gun buyers
behaviours. Additional follow-up or modifications to this initiative might be needed to
impact the rate at which guns enter the illegal gun market and ultimately are
recovered in crimes.

Using data gathered by various British police forces, this study presents a descriptive
profile of adult male-on-female stranger sexual homicide in Great Britain in recent
years. Along with demographic and occupational data on offenders and victims, the
criminal histories of offenders are illustrated as are their offense behaviors. The
results are discussed in light of similar research, and future directions and
implications are considered.

Cold case research: resources for unidentified, missing and cold homicide
cases.

Cases in which all investigative leads appear to be exhausted are frustrating for both
investigators and victims' families. Cold cases range from only a few months old to
many decades. Including profiles and actual case histories, this book details how
investigators can successfully apply resources that will enable them to reopen and
solve cold cases
Cold case investigators need to be internet savvy, making best use of the rapidly
changing methodologies of the twenty-first century, but also able to open the door to
the past. This book brings together the skill sets of traditional historical researchers
together with the latest online tools, including TLO, a premier investigative system;
and NamUs, the revolutionary database for missing persons and unidentified remains.
Including practical applications, Cold Case Research gives investigators the tools they
need to save time and money and to reopen their cold cases, while keeping others
from going cold in the future.

Influence of gentrification on gang homicides in Chicago neighbourhoods,


1994 to 2005.
SMITH, Chris M
Crime and Delinquency, Vol. 60 no. 4, 2014, p.569-591.
This study finds that demographic shifts have a strong negative effect on gang
homicide. Private investment gentrification, measured as the proliferation of coffee
shops, has a marginally significant and negative effect on gang homicide. In contrast,
state-based gentrification (the demolition of public housing) has a positive effect on
gang homicide.

advice (i.e. statements to assist police with psychological and behavioural aspects of
investigations) where complex statistical modelling is not available. Using a sample of

In order to benefit from the knowledge held by its employees, an organisation needs
to enable effective knowledge transfer between them. This book contains case studies
and advice on developing collaborative knowledge networks that encourage
employees to share information. This can lead to greater idea generation, innovation
and organisational cost savings. These networks can take the form of intranets,
knowledge hubs or social networks, and are the key to sharing and disseminating
information within an organisation. This book looks at how an organisation can
establish a collaborative knowledge network, how to encourage knowledge sharing
and how to encourage employees to become active participants

This study examines the identification performance of adults both with and without
intellectual disabilities (ID) on both a perpetrator present and a perpetrator absent
photographic line-up. It investigates potential difficulties such as face recognition
performance, eyewitness confidence, understanding the purpose of a line-up and
memory for non-biased line-up instructions. Participants with ID demonstrated poorer
performance, when compared with typical adults, across both types of line-ups but
were more confident in the accuracy of their responses. In addition they were less
likely to understand the purpose of the line-up and remember the instructions as well
as having poorer face recognition performance.

examining the literature on governance the paper outlines a project aimed at
supporting redesign of governance structures and procedures among 5 professional
associations in the UK. It examines 3 specific issues: size of councils (governing
bodies), their composition in relation to electoral processes, and the development of
inner councils, or executive boards, within councils. Finally the paper presents the
normative cupped hands model, arising from the research, offering a possible means
of balancing the representation required by their status as membership associations

A survey of 407 officers and staff in two UK forces and a realistic case assessment
undertaken by 33 officers in two UK forces produced cost estimates that are higher
than often assumed or previously reported (1,325.44 as a realistic minimum and
2,415.80 as a realistic estimate of cost of medium-risk medium-term cases). This
shows that missing person investigations are a bigger drain on police resources then
either theft or assault. This result is placed into context of current developments such
as the commodification and the outsourcing of policing tasks and recent changes in
policy involving missing person investigations.

Police collaboration is not a new phenomenon. Forces in England and Wales have
always looked to share resources and to outsource some parts of their business in
order to increase their operational resilience.
Sharing resources can also result in significant savings. This makes collaboration.
whether with another force, the public or private sector, one option available to the
police as they work to close the 20% savings requirement outlined in the October
2010 Spending Review (SR).
However, when Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) last asked about
this, only 29 of the 43 forces across England and Wales had identified how savings
could be made through collaboration. HMIC therefore took a further snapshot of
collaborative activity in winter 2011 to see if progress had been made.
This report describes what was found, and includes the projected financial savings
from collaborative activity over the spending review period, the first time these
comparative data have been collected or published. It also includes case studies of
how different forces are collaborating (and with whom); and provides data and
analysis to enable forces and their governing bodies to make informed choices when
considering the value of future collaborations. It ends with some key questions that
might be useful to forces in making these decisions.

Overall, evidence on the impact of codes of ethics on behaviour from a rapid review
was found to be consistent and broadly positive. Laboratory and field experiments
reviewed showed codes can encourage people to behave with integrity. While there
are no studies from a policing context, issues were identified that can potentially
impact on the success of a code: the importance of people actively stating they will
abide by a code; the importance of fairness and role-modelling by senior figures; and
providing regular follow-up especially for anyone who has been found to have
committed a minor breach of the code. There is scope for further testing given many
of the studies were conducted in simulated environments, with non-police personnel,
using a variety of different types of ethical guideline.
The data pack provides an overview of the published national survey evidence on
public trust and confidence in the police. It includes data from the Crime Survey of
England and Wales, the IPCC public survey, the Standards in Public Life survey and
the HMIC public survey.

Concludes that the government has succeeded with PCCs in implementing a major
plank of the Conservative party's 2010 manifesto. It can reasonably be anticipated
that the Conservatives will promote this record at the next election, but it is too early
to tell if PCCs are adding value to policing in England and Wales. A compelling case
for their retention as a means of police governance is therefore yet to be made.

This paper notes that the politicization of the police began in the 1980s well before
the introduction of PCCs and was in fact one of the key antecedents behind the
introduction of PCCs. Simultaneous growth of managerialist practices further enabled
politicians to interfere with policing in ways which eventually laid the foundation for
PCCs. Lastly, the investigation illustrates how the policy architecture then drew
inspiration from models of police governance from the USA, which chimed well with a
new generation of Conservatives intent on police reform.

During the first year of operation, the role of the PCP in the new constitutional

statutory functions. In particular, it considers the limited powers of the panel, the
contradictions of the 'critical/friend' model of scrutiny, the extent of political
alignment between 'the scrutinisers' and 'the scrutinee', and the ability of the latter to
constrain the scrutiny function of the former.

Black officers and officers with poor academy performance were at an increased
likelihood of onset when compared to white and Hispanic officers and those who did
better in the academy, while having a college degree lowered this likelihood. Officers
whose first complaints were filed by citizens, and officers working certain patrol zones
had quicker onset times. Those officers whose first complaint was related to service,
as well as officers with prior military service, had longer onset times.

they rely on limited information of dubious value. Also that the predictive models on
which the tools are based could be improved by better emulating procedures for
assessing offenders' risk of recidivism.

Data from a survey of young Londoners show that perceptions of police fairness are
associated with social identity, and in turn social identity can be linked to cooperation.
These relationships were much stronger among those with multiple national identities.
Police behaviour appeared more identity relevant for people who felt that they were
citizens of a non-UK country, but for those who identified only as British there was a
weaker link between procedural fairness and social identity, and here legitimacy
judgements were the main drivers of cooperation.

Male cadets had reservations about females capability and physical strength in
handling certain aspects of police work, but they supported women being assigned to
equal or similar duties as men upon entry into the police force. Compared to male
cadets, female cadets were more likely to perceive females as being competent as
males and thus adequate for police work. Nevertheless, female cadets were reluctant
to embrace women's integration into police work, which might require them to
perform duties similar to or the same as those of men, such as patrol.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10439463.2013.784293
Based on interviews with police officers responsible for the operation of banning
orders, this research shows that police officers construct narratives that emphasise
the need to control risk supporters and suggest banning orders have worked to serve
this function. However, the data also suggests that the number of banning orders
implemented is partially generated by pressure to deliver targets and a desire of
officers to justify and preserve their roles. This raises questions about the extent to
which pressures to ensure banning orders are issued outweigh any ethical concerns
over the use of the legislation.

The literature on police culture suggests that police officers attitude towards the
public is characterised by suspicion and an us-vs-them mentality. It also refers to
the moral mission of protecting the public by being tough on crime. The traditional
model implies that these aspects are typical for the police. This study shows that
there are similarities in the way in which Belgian police officers and labour inspectors
interact with the public, which raises interesting questions concerning the claim of the
police culture literature concerning the specificity of police culture.

The common perception that police mission has been subject to expansionary
pressures is examined by analysing new and cyclical policy issues and determining
whether the strategic response is locally or centrally directed. While it was observed
that the capacity of police leaders to focus on core policing roles has been somewhat
compromised, this cannot be explained purely in terms of central government
pressure. The concept of path dependency is used to explain how this has occurred.

This paper finds substantial support for many license plate recognition uses, although
the public appear to know little about the technology. Support is qualified depending
upon the use at issue, and decreases where the use involves purposes unrelated to
vehicle enforcement, involves prolonged storage of individuals' travel data and the
extent to which it is perceived as impacting "average" members of the community.

with 17 agency representatives in the FES programme, found that crime control
partnerships are particularly difficult when there is a lack of philosophical fit between
partner agencies; when there is a lack of clarity around the project's aims and
objectives; when the programme fails to articulate each partners' roles and
responsibilities; and when there is a lack of understanding of capacities and

although it provoked an urgent reaction, its central ambiguities gave police services
difficulties in responding. It argues that it inadvertently focused attention on internal

attention away from a preoccupation with overt racism among police staff, this is
where reform activity was if fact directed.

designed to capture officers' perceptions of foot patrol. They show the importance of
territoriality in a place-based intervention. Officers developed extensive local
knowledge of their beat areas, which allowed them to draw from a range of
techniques to exert spatial control in the management of disorder. The choice of
techniques depended in part on officer style, and the ways in which individual police
negotiated the tensions between reassurance policing and the crime fighting
demands of real police work. Perhaps most importantly, officers felt constrained by
the (artificial) parameters of an experiment that did not allow for the incorporation of
local knowledge.

Developing the application of systems thinking within the policing and

The increasingly complex, dynamic and pluralistic nature of the policing and
community safety environment is presenting a significant challenge to the problem
structuring and solving approaches traditionally used by managers in this sector. In
light of deficiencies of traditional approaches, developments in the field of systems
thinking have sought to tackle problem situations more holistically, employing a
variety of systems approaches in combination to improve success in problem
situations of greater plurality and complexity. In particular, Critical Systems Thinking
(CST) has evolved as a theory and philosophy to support multi-methodology problem
solving. This action research focuses on the actual and potential use of systems
approaches in the policing and community safety environment.
This action research has recognised the opportunity to improve the impact of CST
through the wider devolution of appropriate capability. A recursive model to reflect
upon the deployment of approaches appears to provide a coherent framework for
recognising the concurrent existence of CST at different 'application' levels and for
informing a deeper understanding of the role of the facilitator of CST; be that a
specialist, an organisational leader or a member of the workforce involved in change.
A particular value is seen in enhancing such development through the employment of
culturally acceptable approaches, including the concept of policing problem
archetypes that provide a platform for demonstrating the practical value of a diverse
range of systems approaches.

Twenty-four Australian police professionals, whose jobs were primarily associated


with the operation of sex offender registration schemes, participated in focus groups
in groups of 25 officers. They were asked to reflect on how their register operates,
how effective and efficient it is, the challenges faced in its administration and how the
registry process might be improved. The key challenges addressed included;
limitations in risk assessment expertise, restriction in legislative powers, and
inadequate opportunity for specialisation.

Sociology of Policing

Justice without trial: law enforcement in democratic society. (4th ed.)

This book is a sociological discussion of how governance by rule of law may be
enhanced or impeded. It examines the day-to-day behaviour of police and other
justice officials, in order to learn how those who are charged with enforcing criminal
law in a democratic society come to interpret rules of constraint and analyse the
practical dilemmas they face. The research for the book was based on a medium-
sized US city that the author calls Westville. The concerns of the era when the first
edition was published (1966) are still relevant today; the author added Epilogue A,
'Contemporary law enforcement in a democratic society' for the 2nd edition (1975)
and Epilogue B, 'The challenge of crime in the 1990s', for the 3rd edition (1994). This
4th edition includes a forward by MCCOY Candice and a new preface by the author.

Terrorism

Terrorism and organised crime: co-operative endeavours in Scotland?

It has been suggested that a nexus between terrorist groups and those involved in
organised crime exists. This study explores the co-operative possibilities that exist
between these phenomena, focusing specifically on the level of assistance participants
in organised criminal activity might provide to those engaged in terrorism, the initial
nexus. This was achieved initially through interviews with subject matter experts
with knowledge of the organised crime and counter terrorism situation in Scotland.
Thereafter, law enforcement personnel who investigate serious and organised crime
were interviewed, and their opinions sought in respect of the likely actions of those
they investigate. The data gathered is subject to analysis and comment are provided
as to what level of co-operation between those involved in organised crime and
terrorism can be expected; what motivational factors may have a bearing on the level
of co-operation provided; and discussion of tipping points, ethical or otherwise,
where the withdrawal of co-operation could occur, providing opportunities for
increasingly successful law enforcement intervention.

The results show that both communities recognized the central role that the police
may play in dealing with terrorism, and they both expressed high levels of willingness
to cooperate with the police to fight against terrorism. However, Israeli Arabs
expressed more concern with the ramifications of police involvement in
counterterrorism on its relations with the Arabs in particular.

In this study, the objective risk factors of social vulnerability, experience with past

but are also not associated with preparedness measures. However, consistent with
prior research, subjective risk perceptions remain a significant predictor of
preparedness levels.

Following the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty and the publication of the
Stockholm Programme, the area of security, freedom and justice has obtained a more
secure legal basis within the EU treaty framework and now has a coherent
development policy programme.
Key aspects of the area of freedom, security and justice are the EU's provisions
dealing with counter-terrorism. This book examines the EU law and policy on counter-
terrorism, addressing them from both a theoretical and practical perspective. This
book brings together laws and policies on terrorism, as well as exploring the legal
framework for EU external relations in counter-terrorism.
In focusing on this challenging area of EU legal policy which is presently under
development the book brings greater clarity and critical analysis to the existing legal
framework. In addition to considering the current legal circumstances, the author
highlights potential difficulties which may occur in the future and suggests possible
avenues for development of counter-terrorism provisions.

The major part of this report introduces research findings in relation to intimidation
and violence experienced by members of Muslim communities in the UK. It is based
on over twelve months close engagement with Muslim communities in the UK by a
small team of researchers. In addition some of the researchers have been engaged
with the issue during the preceding decade. The most significant findings derive from
victims first-hand accounts of violent crimes committed against mosques, Islamic
centres and Muslim organisations; against Muslim women wearing hijabs, niqabs or
burkas; and against Muslim men wearing distinctive
Islamic clothes, in each instance offering compelling evidence of the existence of anti-
Muslim hate crimes.
Muslims in the UK face a specific threat of violence and intimidation from politically
motivated attackers, and from gangs and individuals who are not aligned to extremist
nationalism.

This research shows that expectancy violation mediates the effect from a victim's
verbal emotional expression on the observer's attitude toward the victim, and that a
highly emotional written Victim Impact Statement (VIS) could lead to secondary
victimization, dependent on the observer's expectations regarding the effects of the
crime. It also demonstrates that expectancy violation leads to a negative effect on
people's acceptance of the VIS in the criminal justice procedure.
