Based on survey and interview data from three specialist cyber-crime units in Australia, this article identifies that ‘lack of training’ is likely to have distinct meanings for different groups within the police: (a) front-line officers, (b) higher mana

Companies continue to rely on compliance tools such as codes of conduct and audits to get employees to report wrongdoing that they witness. But on their own, they are ineffective. Based on decades of behavioral science research and 30 years observing leaders, the author developed a model that offers seven interconnected strategies to nudge people to speak up.

Where once we might have measured operational time horizons in weeks and strategic time horizons in months and years, due to the pandemic hours and days have often seemed a better fit.

A series of papers focused on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for police agencies and other organisations with an interest in the topic.

The COVID-19 crisis has – in a most dramatic and unexpected way – brought policing back to the forefront of the public mind.

The Coronavirus is likely to create new opportunities for crime as well as curtail others, says Professor Karl Roberts, a Consultant on Health Security and Policing for the World Health Organisation. Here, he examines the potential impact a pandemic can have on different crime types.

"One of Victoria’s most senior judges has warned the current media reporting and political rhetoric around crime committed by people from South Sudanese backgrounds in Melbourne is “dangerous” and “skewed”.

"Detective Inspector Mike Newman talks to me about his work introducing evidence-based policing to the Queensland Police Service in Australia, and the ways they have succeeded in embedding evidence-based practice into their agency."

Although crime rates across the country are near all-time lows, each state faces a unique combination of public safety challenges, including increasing crime rates in some communities, growing numbers of people who have mental illnesses entering county

The Police Foundation and Perpetuity Research completed a two-year study which focused on understanding the impact of serious organised crime in local communities and how this threat is tackled locally. Some of the most harmful crimes are unacknowledged

"How can data analysis be implemented in a way that provides value to police department managers and patrol officers delivering service? This article examines the start-up of a crime analysis unit in a large, Midwest police department in 2015.

The reality is that the science of criminal investigations is changing rapidly, and many law enforcement agencies are not prepared for the changes that are taking place. This report is a wake-up call for the policing profession.

AIPM Deputy Director, Amanda McCormick, is currently at Cambridge University for the 11th International Conference on Evidence Based Policing.

Yesterday I attempted to write a short article about securitisation. The topic seemed too conceptual and remote. Why would anyone be interested?

“By serving community members and building trust, police advance their core mission of providing public safety, because community members are more likely to report crime and talk to the police about what’s happening in their neighborhoods when they know
