While the direct cause of an accident is usually the result of an individual's action
or omission there is often a trail of underlying conditions that set up the error. This
book examines an accident in policing. It explores a case of wrongful arrest from
the perspective of organizational accident theory, which suggests a single unsafe
act-in this case a wrongful arrest-is caused by several underlying latent conditions
that triggered the event and failed to stop the harm once in motion. The book
shows that there is a significantly greater risk of errors occurring by acts of
omission rather than by acts of commission.

This piece of research considered satisfaction from the perspective of victims of
crime; those who contact the police for assistance after being victims of vehicle
crime in the East Birmingham area. A Randomised Control trial was used, where
half of the victims of vehicle crime were contacted via telephone by an officer.
Guidance was used (rather than a script) to inform the conversation, talking
though the offence, whether the victim had the details that they required and
neighbourhood policing activity in the area. The test and control groups were then
evaluated, using the ‘Contact Counts’ survey, and result collated to show their
satisfaction with the police, both in overall terms and in several more concentrated
areas. The results showed that those subject to the intervention were more
satisfied that the control group in overall terms and when asked about the
feedback they had received and their satisfaction with police response. In other
areas (that the intervention had not directly sought to influence) the control group
exhibited higher levels of satisfaction.

This book recounts the experiences of members of the public who have been failed
by the police and criminal justice system. It describes their feelings of frustration,
confusion, helplessness and anger and how their encounters have affected their
trust, certainty and confidence in British justice. The police still investigate
themselves and a minority of them practice deception and dubious tactics to
obscure their actions. At a time when the Home Office is reviewing police integrity
and discipline, the book also looks at the manipulation of crime statistics, argues
that the Independent Police Complaints Commission is unfit for purpose and points
to unfairness underpinning a crisis of legitimacy.

Police integrity is seen as the inclination of the police to resist the temptation to
abuse the rights and privileges of their office. This book examines research on the
integrity of the police across the world. The results for each country indicate
whether police officers know the official rules, how seriously they view police
misconduct, what they think the appropriate and expected discipline for
misconduct should be, and how willing they are to report it. It covers forces in
Armenia, Australia, Croatia, Estonia, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea,
Thailand and the United States.

The aim of the study was to examine the role of newly-promoted Inspectors'
transformational leadership behaviours in predicting followers' employee
engagement. Findings suggest that what followers want leaders to provide them
with is; a transformational integrative leader, who is there for the greater good,
and who can also keep followers engaged and psychologically safe. Furthermore,
the findings have important implications for organisational selection and leadership
development interventions; further research is recommended taking into account
objective performance measures and should include wider organisational
performance goals.

The Government is consulting on a series of measures to transform the delivery of
local fire and police services, and drive greater collaboration between the police,
fire and rescue and NHS ambulance services. The measures being consulted upon
are:
introducing a new duty on all three emergency services to actively consider
collaboration opportunities with one another to improve efficiency and
effectiveness;
enabling Police and Crime Commissioners to take on the duties and responsibilities
of fire and rescue authorities, where a local case is made;
where a Police and Crime Commissioner takes on the responsibilities of a fire and
rescue authority, enabling him or her to create a single employer for police and
fire staff, facilitating the sharing of back office functions and streamlining
management;
in areas where a Police and Crime Commissioner has not become responsible for
fire and rescue services, enabling them to have representation on their local fire
and rescue authority; and
abolishing the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority and giving the
Mayor of London direct responsibility for the fire and rescue service in London, as
will be the case in Greater Manchester.
This consultation is open until 23rd October 2015.

This book lays out a philosophy of performance measurement that will help public
managers recognize (in an accounting sense) when public value has been created.
It combines case studies with theory to argue that private sector models built on
customer satisfaction and the bottom line cannot be transferred to government
agencies and the author has developed the Public Value Account as an alternative.
He has also developed a Public Value Scorecard which he uses to evaluate the
real-world management strategies of former public managers.

A study was conducted into the impact that locally based quality of service dip
samples had on performance and culture within a policing environment. The
research aimed to examine the perceptions of those completing the dip samples
against those subjected to them and the impact that this has had. To provide
context the study was focussed on front line staff delivering locally based service.
Using a mixed methods research methodology, consisting of a web-based survey
which was sent to 4,728 staff, analysis of quantitative performance data and
information from locally based organisational service development teams, the
study identified how quality management practices influence performance and the
organisational sub-culture within the organisation.

Before the First World War, anarchist terrorism was often blamed on the impact of
anarchist agitators on naïve immigrants. This article concludes that emigration did
not create radical terrorists by looking at Italian, Spanish, French and Russian
emigrants.

Finds that before September 2001, state decisions to adopt new legislation
correlated with the number of terrorist organizations operating in their territory.
Since then, the most significant predictors for the adoption of new legislation have
become the existence of previous counterterrorism legislation and the participation
of a state in the War on Terror.

This study aims to identify factors which indicate clearance of non-domestic violent
crime, and determine whether there are factors that policing agencies can target
to improve clearance rates, whilst assessing the inter-variable effects of suspect
information, before designing a predictive model and comparing the accuracy of
this statistical model to the existing West Midlands Police experiential allocation
model.

For the last thirty years successive UK Governments have taken seriously the role
of victims and witnesses within the judicial system and have attempted to take
steps to protect and support victims and witnesses through this process. There has
been a number of legislative changes culminating with the introduction of the
Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999, which allowed for victims and
witnesses access to a range of special measures, which aims to support them
through the criminal justice system.
This research has examined the approach police officers' take when applying the
legislation. Police officers from different departments, from first response officers
to more highly trained detectives, were invited to anonymously complete a
predominantly scenario based questionnaire. Questions were designed to test
officers' knowledge and perception of the legislation, and sought to reveal officers'
rationale for their decision making when dealing with vulnerable and intimidated
witnesses. They were asked whether they would take a written statement from the
victim or record their evidence visually using the Achieving Best Evidence
guidelines (ABE guidelines). The research then considered the consequences of the
police's decision for vulnerable victims and witnesses.
The research highlighted that victims' access to special measures, could be
affected simply by which officer they see first, whether it be an untrained uniform
response officer or an experienced detective who has a grasp of the legislation.
The availability of specialist interview suites was also seen as a barrier to making
the right decision. Time constraints also operated as a further barrier to officers
applying the legislation. The research further highlights the need for effective
supervision of officers from all branches within the police that deal with victims
and witnesses, and suggests front line response officers and supervisors need to
be considered for more specialist witness training.

Analyses data in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and finds that, in
all contexts, black youths have a higher risk or arrest than white youth. The
findings did not support the threat perspective but did strongly support the theory
of benign neglect.
