Meeluisteren met het verhoor van psychopate verdachten : van detectie door de IM-P naar aanpak van het verhoor
No full textThe interrogation of a psychopathic suspect demands a different approach than the interrogation of a non-psychopathic suspect. In order to tackle this type of interrogation, psychopathic traits need to be detected, whereupon the interrogation techniques can be adjusted. Despite the missing point of view in the literature, the Interpersonal Measure of Psychopathy (IM-P) could be used in order to correctly identify psychopathic traits in an interrogation setting, whereas the taxonomy and theoretical interactive process model of interrogation could serve as a guidance to correctly adjust interrogation techniques. To overcome these gaps in the literature, the current study conducted non-participant observations on the interrogation videos of three male psychopathic murder suspects, combined with a small, online survey with interrogators. Key findings illuminate the potential of the IM-P as an adequate detection tool with regard to psychopathic suspects scoring high on factor one of the PCL-R, whereas the IM-P seems to draw wrong conclusions when dealing with psychopathic suspects scoring high on factor two.
The interrogation itself should start with the building of ‘rapport and relationship’, by letting the suspect talk, followed by the ‘presentation of evidence’, which can be facilitated by several subtly used techniques from ‘confrontation and competition’. Consequently, this study suggests the IM-P should not be applied as a standard to detect psychopathic traits in an interrogation setting, while the taxonomy and process model – despite some small adjustments – can serve as adequate frameworks to shape the interrogation
Suspect, officer, and situational dynamics underlying violent resistance against police : a critical interpretative synthesis
No full textAssaults against police officers pose a significant challenge to law enforcement safety, yet the factors driving such violence remain complex and underexplored. This critical interpretative synthesis (CIS) is the first literature review to examine violent resistance from an interpretative perspective. By reviewing 38 studies from 2000 to 2024, identified through various methods, we develop a theoretical framework to better understand and contextualize factors linked to assaults against officers. Results indicate that certain suspect, officer, and situational characteristics are linked to violent resistance, both independently and through their interactions. These interactions between predictors help explain inconsistencies across studies. Additionally, we note a lack of diversity in how risk and protective factors of violent resistance have been studied. We suggest areas for future research and offer recommendations to inform police practices and improve officer safety

More than just a scratch : a scoping review on physical and psychological consequences of violence against police
No full textViolence against police is a reality for many officers. Despite growing concerns over the rise in violence against police and the serious individual and societal repercussions associated with it, a comprehensive overview of the psychological and physical consequences of verbal and physical violence against police remains elusive. By performing a scoping review (n = 21) of studies and reports identified via database searches (Web of Science and Google Scholar), reference mining, and purposive sampling, and published between 2010 and 2023, this article is the first of its kind to map psychological and physical consequences of violence against police, as well as the risk and protective factors that respectively increase and decrease adverse consequences. Results indicate that officers experience primary victimization by a range of different adverse consequences, but also deal with secondary victimization. The literature has come to a standstill due to lack of (recent) studies and a lack of diversity on how consequences of violence against police are studied. We argue that this lack of academic attention might be influenced by predominant societal perspectives and officers' perceived victim status, and discuss the implications for police, policymakers, and research
Het Belgisch beleid naar geweld tegen politie : 20 jaar politiehervorming, 20 jaar opeenstapeling van beleidsinitiatieven
No full textViolence against police is more topical than ever. Since violence against police has far-reaching physical, psychosocial and social consequences, an adequate policy reaction is indispensable. This study provides an overview of the Belgian policy on violence against police, starting from the ‘Wet Politieambt’ in 1992, through the police reform in 1998, until today. Between 1992 and 2009, the topic of violence against police is only sporadically addressed in policy. The law of March 8 provides a first policy signal in 2010. The working groups of ministers Turtelboom and Milquet place violence against police prominently on the agenda in 2012. Despite this start, the policy on violence against police lacks a uniform approach until today. Hence, initiatives pile up next to each other. The first measures of Ministers Verlinden and Van Quickenborne are promising for the future and will hopefully make way for a national, coherent policy focusing on various pillars
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
