Emergency policing has played a significant role in controlling the spread of COVID-19 in various countries. China is one of the few countries that has successfully controlled the pandemic. What are the factors that determine the effectiveness of emergency policing in China? This study argues that the social capital played a supportive role in emergency policing during COVID-19. Based on the data analysis, we construct a theoretical framework to explain why pandemic control in China has been effective. The effectiveness of the police response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Zhejiang, China, displays the importance of all three types of social capital for emergency policing, including interaction-assisted social capital represented by ‘grid-governance’, technology-driven social capital represented by ‘data sharing’, and service-assisted social capital represented by ‘safety construction’.

Abstract Virtual reality is an emerging frontier that offers immersive simulations with the capacity to revolutionize police training. This study evaluated a scenario-based training approach by comparing the delivery of simulations in Virtual Reality (VR) and Live Action (LA). Participation in this mental health crisis response training program in either format led to a significantly greater acquisition of de-escalation competencies compared to a control group. VR format showed comparable effectiveness to the LA format in bringing about improved de-escalation skills through scenario-based training. The training was equally effective across all officer experience levels. The VR group showed a greater reduction in bias towards mental illness compared to the control group. Further, the VR format was found to be no more cognitively demanding than live action. The article discusses the centrality of de-escalation skills in police practice and considers the larger implications of de-escalation training delivered through virtual reality applications for increased consistency, cost-efficiencies, and professionalization.

Abstract There is growing interest in a public health approach to policing. In Britain, it has attracted major government investment and is advocated as a way to improve understanding and prevention of violence. We largely support efforts better to integrate public health and policing. We do, however, argue in this paper that the current conception of public health is unduly narrow, focussing overwhelmingly on early intervention and paying little attention to situational measures directed at more immediate causes of crime. We argue that the neglect of situational intervention rests on a partial interpretation of the public health literature, and ignores a long history of situational measures being effectively used to reduce harmful behaviours. If a public health approach is to generate improvements in policing and crime prevention, we argue that a broader conception of public health is needed.

Abstract In recent years, the rise of big data has revolutionized many domains, including policing. Research is lacking, however, on the various ways in which the police use big data applications. This study provides new insights into the ways the Netherlands Police currently use big data and algorithmic applications. Based on a novel data source—job vacancies in the IT domain for the Netherlands Police—we distinguish three areas in which big data is used: frontline policing, criminal investigations, and intelligence. Our research shows that the use of big data by the Netherlands Police mainly involves relatively simple applications and that—in contrast to police forces in the USA—big data applications with the objective of assessing risks are the least common. The research also shows that big data policing leads to greater discretionary powers for police functions such as software developers and network designers.

Law enforcement agencies are struggling to meet recruitment goals and are rarely representative of the communities they serve. In particular, women make up just 12% of sworn officers despite the fact that women officers act in ways that are more consistent with community-oriented policing and use less force. Despite this, there are few evidence-based strategies that agencies can use to improve outreach and messaging efforts focussed on improving candidate diversity. The current study experimentally explored the effectiveness of job advertisements formatted similarly to popular social media platforms (Facebook Ads and short-form videos) and variations on law enforcement officer job descriptions. Results indicated that women-focussed recruitment material significantly improve perceptions of motivation to apply, relevance, and positive perceptions of the material for women participants and that diversity-focussed job descriptions improved perceptions of task and skill variety and diversity climate. These results, however, were only found for video advertising. Agencies should consider tailoring marketing material to meet the needs of different potential applicants and be sensitive to differences in marketing channels.

As the changing dynamics of the 21st-century workplace is influenced by societal demands and expectations, understanding the influence of organizational capital strategic indicators on employee performance is pivotal for competitive advantage and establishing best practice. There is a wealth of knowledge developed as to the influence of employee performance on organizational capital and, by association, intellectual capital. What is less known is the reverse influence—how do strategic management indicators of organizational capital influence employee performance? This study, conducted within a United Arab Emirates police agency explored the influence of six such indicators through interviews and a questionnaire. Results indicate middle-ranked positions placed the highest level of importance on risk management and crime prevention, with 97% of all study participants identifying this as an important/very important influencing indicator. Command (Administration) employees place marginally lower importance on an organizational clear vision and key performance indicators compared with core (operational) and services units (community-based services). A total of 89% of participants agreed that information technology/automated software influences employee and organizational performance. Models of excellence were perceived (57%) as having limited influence, however, acknowledging the capacity for influence on overall organizational performance. The variation in employee perception of the organizational capital indicators offers valuable insight for leadership decisions associated with aligning intellectual and organizational capital with the reality of employee, in this case, police officer, performance. Reviewing approaches to performance management supports police agencies to meet the continually evolving demands of the communities they serve.
