Feminism, power and politics in policing rape research
Over the last 40 years, academics, activists and policymakers have attempted to improve police and criminal justice (CJ) responses to rape, yet attrition in rape cases continues to rise (ONS, 2021). Rape attrition studies have increasingly scrutinised the CJ process, initially in smaller scale, local research (for example, Lees and Gregory, 1993) and more recently through national analysis of the CJ outcomes of police reported cases (for example,…

Just Authority?
What does it mean to trust the police? What makes the police legitimate in the eyes of the policed? What builds trust, legitimacy and cooperation, and what undermines the bond between police and the public?

Yet, in the context of British policing they are seldom asked explicitly, still less examined in depth. Drawing on …

This article discusses how four authors came together to create – inside a police service – a specific approach to public ‘trust and confidence’. We have had many theoretical debates – about the nature of public understanding of policing, police culture, procedural justice and public trust in public institutions in a democracy. Also, while we continue to debate, we wade through mounds of data gathered routinely through the Metropolitan Police's o…

A Tribute to 10 Years of Knowledge
It is early June 2004. Today is Sunday the 40th anniversary of DDay. Two stories strike me this morning as I prepare to write my text in honor of the 10th anniversary of this publication Violence Against Women. The first story describes the increase of brutal rapes and murders of women across Guatemala. Women’s murders are on the increase in that country. Their killings are accounts of sexual assault and torture in the extreme. There is a quote f…
Sector policing and public accountability
[Traditional British policing is relatively low on numbers, low on power and high on accountability;.....it is undertaken with public consent which does not mean acquiescence but a broad tolerance indicating a satisfaction with the helping and enforcement roles of policing.” (Joint Consultative Committee 1990:4) Perhaps it is time to return to basics and to reassign every constable to a geographical area ‐ making them all ‘community constables’. …
