community had a negative association. Among the US respondents, age, educational
level, and perceptions of police effectiveness had positive associations with support
for community policing, and holding a punitive orientation had a negative association.

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

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.

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.

It has been established that children as young as 5 years are as accurate as adults
when identifying a target from a target present (TP) line-up but make more false
identifications when shown a target absent (TA) line-up. This study asked children
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
identifications for the TA line-ups.

In a series of judgements the Court of Appeal has re-acknowledged the long-standing
position that the purpose of cross-examination in a criminal trial is to investigate the
evidence. It targets three aspects: miscommunication through the use of
developmentally inappropriate language, the use of suggestive questions and the use
of cross-examination to confront the witness.

Investigation into the behaviour of air rifle pellets in ballistic gel and their

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.

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

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.

Scrutinising the role of the Police and Crime Panel in the new era of police

During the first year of operation, the role of the PCP in the new constitutional
arrangements for governing police forces in England and Wales has been widely
criticised. This paper explores reasons that may impinge on the effectiveness of these
local bodies to scrutinise how Police and Crime Commissioners discharge their
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.

Uses data from the Offending Crime and Justice Survey to estimate the factors that
affect the likelihood of police-initiated contacts. Findings show that even when
controlled for other socio-demographic factors, self-reported illegal behaviour, area
characteristics and degree of street presence, ethnic minorities are still found to be
disproportionately approached by the police in their use of powers to stop and search

Ten seasons of the football banning order: police officer narratives on the
operation of banning orders and the impact on the behaviour of risk
supporters.

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.

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.

that this has intensified the debate about whether this a cultural crime and more
prevalent in men from ethnic minorities. The accusation that it is culture specific
brings with it the risk of racial discrimination and breach of the Human Rights Act

You shouldn't feel that way! Extending the emotional victim effect through

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.
