Evidence-based policing
No full textExploring the concepts of research and evidence, this chapter examines the evolution and adoption of evidence-based policing (EBP) within policing practice. It identifies some of the challenges and debates relating to different methodological approaches, as well as ways to evaluate the outcomes of research. Various approaches to enhance the embedding of EBP within practice are considered, concluding that no one single approach to conducting policing focused research will always be the most appropriate and that research methodologies should be matched appropriately to the questions to be addressed

Leadership in Policing: An International Comparison. Chapter 14
No full textComparing the approaches and challenges to policing leadership across Canada, the USA, England and Wales reveals that effective leadership across all ranks and roles of the police service has a lasting effect on not only the police workforce but society as a whole. As the demands on the police service change, police leaders worldwide should be committed, inspirational, motivational, inclusive, good communicators and possess integrity. Leaders should be developed, capable of interpreting the evidence-base and empowered to make decisions, for which they are held accountable, in order to ensure the shared visions and goals of the service are translated into effective policing to deal with the ever-evolving challenges faced by their agencies
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
