Politimester Bjørn Tegner Bay har udtalt at det kan være at en ny uddannelsesstruktur er på vej for politiuddannelsen. Det overvejes om optagelseskravene skal være større og at uddannelsen laves om til en bacheloruddannelse. Det vil måske kunne tiltrække andre ansøgere. Grunden til overvejelserne er at det grønlandske samfund er blevet mere kompliceret, og dermed er politiopgaverne også blevet det. http://knr.gl/da/nyheder/ny-politiuddannelse-i-støbeskeen Podd från BRÅ: Nätkränkningar Vilka är det som utsätts för hot och kränkningar på nätet?

Hur etnicitet görs i polisers vardag." Fakultetsopponent är professor Liv Finstad, Universitetet i Oslo. Plats: Edens hörsal, Paradisgatan 5H, Lund Abstract: This thesis analyzes how ethnicity is accomplished in the work of Swedish police officers. It draws on ethnographic data from participant observations and field interviews in Malmö and its theoretical framework is primarily based on ethnomethodology. Police officers – and others in their environment – are found to employ ethnicity and invoke it into interactions in a variety of ways: 1) redefining police-citizen interactions in friendly directions, 2) ethnic profiling, 3) strengthening police control over citizens, 4) questioning police legitimacy, 5) offering accounts for deviant behavior, 6) creating in-group solidarity among police officers by way of distancing oneself from norms of “anti-racist political correctness”. These and other uses of ethnicity vary between the ‘frontstage’, where police officers encounter other people, and the ‘backstage’, where police officers interact with their peers. Police officers treat ethnicity with a great deal of sensitivity in the frontstage region, but they speak more freely about it, and adopt an ironic attitude towards “political correctness”, in the back stage region. Ethnicity is found to hold a certain form of social tension that requires the participants of a police interaction to manage and respond to it, sometimes in a postponed fashion where events are discussed at a later time. The study also highlights ethnicity’s place within police culture and police organization in a more general sense. The police adopt a social code that the study calls “ironic knighthood”, where they maintain various heraldic, authoritative and militaristic aspects of their culture and organization but add a humorous and ironic twist. Actively using ethnicity is integral to the interests and incentives of this code. It is argued that ethnicity cannot be removed from the everyday practices of the police, and that a more viable goal of a critical sociology is to seek to carefully describe ethnified police practices so that they can be reflected upon, problematized and developed.

Från utbildningens förväntningar till gatans norm”. Lokal: Linnéuniversitetet i Växjö, Wiksell Abstract. As the principal user of legitimate force, the police play an important role in any society. The most obvious and important task is to guarantee that rules and laws will be respected, thereby preventing society from falling into chaos. Yet another task is to safeguard the democratic rights assigned to each and every member of society by the constitution. In order to carry out its task, special powers are vested in the police. However, precisely because of the far-reaching authority given to the police, any democratic society must restrict the use of police powers in order to prevent the police from becoming too independent. In this dissertation, the discussion of legitimate authority revolves around potential areas of conflict. For example, the need to act within the law implies the weighing of the rule of law against quick and concrete results. Second, the authority of hierarchies is challenged when an officer breaks the law. The autonomous officer typically chooses not to report the bad behavior of colleagues, while transgressions should be reported to supervisors according to the legalistic perspective. The process and factors that come to shape the recruits’ perceptions of the police role – i.e. the idea of the purpose of police work and how those tasks are best carried out in practice – are examined by utilizing both longitudinal survey data and qualitative panel data. The first study covers two cohorts of Swedish police recruits, while the interview-study follows 24 recruits during their academy years and their initial years as sworn officers. Both studies show stable support for the legalistic perspective during academy training. However, during on-the-job training, the recruits become more positive towards nonlegalistic practices. There is, for example, some effect of age and gender: young male recruits are somewhat more prone to adopt Dirty Harryinspired measures – that is, achieving essential ends by tarnished means.

Patel, Emma & Holmberg, Stina (2015). Hot och våld: om utsatthet i yrkesgrupper som är viktiga i det demokratiska samhället. Stockholm: Brottförebyggande rådet (Brå) Ur Brå:s presentation Brå har haft regeringens uppdrag att göra en kunskapsöversikt om hot, våld, trakasserier och försök till korruption mot personer med uppdrag eller anställningar av särskild betydelse för det demokratiska samhället. Det handlar om politiker, journalister, opinionsbildare, anställda i rättskedjan samt vissa anställda i övriga statliga myndigheter och i kommuner och landsting. I tidigare studier om några av dessa yrkesgrupper har utsattheten för hot och våld visat sig vara hög – vilket kan få negativa konsekvenser för demokratin. Regeringen vill därför få en samlad bild: vilka grupper har studerats, vilka av dessa grupper är mest utsatta för hot och våld, och var är behovet av ny kunskap som störst? I uppdraget från regeringen har även ingått att titta på utsattheten för hot och våld i de olika grupperna var för sig, undersöka vilka som uppges vara förövare, vilka konsekvenserna blir för de utsatta och vilka erfarenheter som finns av skydd och stöd. I rapporten har vi utgått från befintliga undersökningar för att sammanställa en kunskapsöversikt om hot och våld mot de aktuella yrkesgrupperna. Undersökningarna mäter dock olika saker, har olika mätperioder, olika definitioner av hot och våld och har utförts på olika sätt. Det har därför inte varit möjligt att göra några exakta jämförelser mellan dem. Det går dock att ge en övergripande bild av grova mönster och skillnader mellan yrkesgrupperna.

Abstract Today, the largest public organization in Sweden goes through a major reform. This study highlights the Swedish Police change from several independent organizations towards one common authority, and a group of strategists working intensely with the change during 2014. The study uses a qualitative method and the empirical material consists of interviews. The survey begins with a qualitative content analysis and is followed by analysis with focus on strategy. The study results yielded following conclusions: Strategy specialists and middle managers are important, and perhaps necessary, sense makers of strategic change, but also the Achilles heel in cases where they are absent Project methodology, project governance and communication strategies can generate favorable conditions for implementing strategic change. Use of the methods should be preceded by the analysis of organizational culture and habit of leading and working in temporary project organizations The Swedish Police deliberate strategy development process 2013-2014 promoted the implementation of strategic change within and across organizational levels Public Organizations with complex organizational environment requires effective communication planning because the issues otherwise tend stuck on an organizational level and hinder the change process Uppsatsen finns ej för nedladdning.

Evaluating the effectiveness of police driver education and training based on the police vehicle damages in 2013 and developing an electronic form for reporting the damages.). Poliisiammattikorkeakoulun raportteja 116. Abstract One way of reviewing the effectiveness of police driver education and training is through the vehicle damage data. When we are aware of the kind of incidents and chains of events in which the damages occur, we can direct this information into the planning of education and also get to see the resulting effects of these plans. This report reviews the effectiveness of police driver education and training in Finland through the police vehicle damage forms that were filed in 2013. On one side in this research there is the major part the Police University College plays as the organizer of the police driver education, and on the other side there is the plan to deploy a national driver’s permit system in the police organization. The police driver education and training is currently facing changes. As the learning institution transformed from college to university in 2014, some lessons from the driver education and training had to be cut. Only classes that fit under the Vehicle Technics and Tactics are included in the curriculum. The old version included 80 hours of teaching. In the new classes there are 54 hours of actual teaching, plus two hours of online classes. It is now a challenge to use the current amount of time as specifically as possible to prepare the students for driving in profession as well as develop the means to review the effectiveness of the driver education and training. The National Police Board requested all Finland’s police departments to send the police vehicle damage forms from 2013 to the Police University College. All in all 693 forms were received from a total of 11 police departments. In this research the term ’vehicle’ refers to police cars, motorcycles and scooters. The most common type of an accident happened while reversing the vehicle (25 % of all incidents), while the vehicle was in a carpark (27 % of all places of incident) or a garage (19 % of all places of incident). Parking and leaving seemed to play a big part when it came to places of incident. The time of the year however did not seem to make a difference. The time when an accident was most likely to occur was between 11 am and 2 pm. Only 15 percent of all accidents occurred during demanding situations such as driving while using blue lights, following a suspect or while tracking. The incidents varied a lot depending on the police department in question. As it was not always the driver who filed the vehicle damage form, no connections could be made between the damages and driver experience. Therefore this research only depicts the general picture of all damages involving vehicles belonging to the police organization in 2013. A key factor in determining the effectiveness of the education would be to integrate the driver information into the system so that it could be easily detected to whom the damages occur and what is their background when it comes to the driving education and training as well as work experience. This way it would be easier to see the effectiveness of the education as well as modeling the education more specifically when it comes to individuals. The way driver education and training affects the police driving culture that empathizes responsibility and safety could not be deduced from the vehicle damage data alone. Evaluating the effectiveness of the driver education becomes more important when the resources allocated to the education decrease. The vehicle damage data is a key factor here. However, the deductions in this project should not be read to mean that the police driver education and training should focus more on parking and moving the vehicle. The awareness of certain risks alone helps avoid the damages. The effectiveness of the driver education should be long lasting and immune to changes in the working environment, so that the system could become more homogeneous on a national level.

Poliisin perustutkintokoulutuksen vaikuttavuusarviointi 2015 (Evaluation of the effectiveness of police recruit training program 2015. Employment and occupational validity of the program as assessed by police officers who graduated during 2012–2013). Poliisiammattikorkeakoulun raportteja 114. Abstract The current study consisted of an evaluation of the effectiveness of police recruit training program. It addressed the questions of the employment situation as well as the occupational validity of the training program as assessed by police officers who had graduated during 2012–2013. The research project was based on a sample-based survey conducted in October 2014. The number of respondents was 144/261 and the response rate was 55.2 %. The employment situation of recently graduated police officers has been weakening from the evaluation study conducted in 2011 to the study conducted in 2013 and further still to the current study conducted in 2015. Individual employment histories are more fragmentary than before. Often, the employment contracts are temporary and periods of employment combine with episodes of unemployment. Poor employment situation is known to have a negative effect on career commitment. The regularity was encountered also here in the current study. However, career commitment and commitment to the occupation of a police officer among the recently graduated police officers continues to be at a high level. What the young police officers hope for the most is that they can get a job that corresponds to their education. The occupational validity of the police recruit training program is good. The program provides the police cadets with good personal qualifications and also good police skills that correspond to the requirements of the occupation. Training of the information systems used by the police, use of force training and training of policing in general, criminal justice education, and the basics of criminal investigation and of traffic enforcement are all of high quality. There is still room for improvement on the most demanding parts of the program, such as conceiving of the criminal investigation process as a coherent whole (the assembly of a pre-trial investigation record, managing the totality of the criminal investigation process, and closing the case of investigation). It also appears that, to some extent, the program would benefit from increased amount of practical training and opportunities to practical exercises, according to the recently graduated police officers. Reference is made to demanding driving situations (driving in emergency situations, driving under slippery conditions) and to use of force training (the development of robust routines). What the police officer graduates particularly appreciate within the totality of the program is the opportunity to practical training, whether on the Police University College campus or during the practical training periods and periods of field work.

(2015). Ekstreme konvertitter: En dybdestudie av ti radikaliserte norske konvertitter til islam. (Masteravhandling). Oslo: Politihøgskolen. Sammendrag: I denne studien undersøkes hvordan konvertitter radikaliseres i Norge ved at forfatteren belyser to underspørsmål: (1) I hvilken grad følger radikaliseringsprosessen rådende teori? (2) I hvilken grad skiller norske ekstremistkonvertitter seg fra samme fenomen i andre land? Gjennom sin undersøkelse finner forfatteren betydelig samsvar mellom radikaliseringen av de norske konvertittene og mønstre som er identifisert gjennom forskningslitteraturen: (1) Flere av konvertittene kommer fra ustabile hjem, preget av skilsmisser, steforeldre, bortgang av en eller begge foreldre og hyppig flytting. (2) For flere av konvertittene har en trøblete oppvekst ofte gått hånd i hånd med vinnings- og narkotikaforbrytelser og annen alvorlig kriminalitet. (3) Ingen av konvertittene har prestert godt på skolen, og tilknytningen til arbeidslivet har generelt vært preget av ulike strøjobber av kortere varighet. (4) «Nettverksteorien», hvor radikaliseringen foregår i vennekretser, har hatt størst påvirkning på konvertittene. For noen har radikaliseringen skjedd raskt. Oppsummert kan det sies at individuelle forhold som nevnt i punkt 1-3 trolig legger til rette og fungerer som bakenforliggende årsaker til at konvertittene oppsøker ekstrem islamisme. Men individuelle forhold alene ser ikke ut til å være avgjørende. Det er heller slik at individuelle faktorer i kombinasjon med sosiale nettverk synes å ha størst effekt.

(2015). Tracking the trafficker?: A qualitative study of the investigation of trafficking in human beings in Norway. (Masteravhandling). Oslo: Politihøgskolen. Sammendrag: Trafficking in human beings (THB) is a vast global problem where the cynic exploitation of fellow human beings is limited only by the exploiter’s creativity and cruelty. This paper looks upon the phenomena of THB from a law enforcement perspective, thus defining and problematizing it as a crime against humanity and a crime against international and national laws. Consequently, understanding the complexity of the crime enables the investigator and prosecutor to better conduct criminal investigations to uncover, prevent and prosecute the crime of THB. Norway is a recipient country, and to some extent also a transit country, which means that the victims of THB in Norway are mostly from foreign countries. However, the numbers on THB are not reliable when it comes to describing the reality of victims that have yet to be identified by Norwegian authorities. Thus, the majority of THB-cases reported, investigated and receiving convictions, are THB for sexual exploitation. Trafficking for other types of exploitation is widely underreported. At the same time, research on the field of trafficking in Norway has focused mainly on sexual exploitation. However, this paper does not distinguish between the different types of exploitation. Rather, it focuses on how the police investigate the phenomena in order to be able to prosecute the traffickers. As such, this paper is based on a qualitative study where police investigators and police prosecutors from 8 different police districts in Norway have been interviewed about their knowledge and experience in investigating cases of THB. The study aims to answer the following approach to the research topic: Tracking the Trafficker? A qualitative study of the investigation of trafficking in human beings in Norway. The research findings suggest that there is a severe lack of competency in THB in general in the Norwegian police and that this affects the outcome of THB-‐cases in several ways. The police does not initiate THB-cases themselves, rather they are to a large extent recipients of information from others – especially the victim. This leads to a highly victim-‐oriented approach to the investigation, placing much responsibility on the victim to provide the investigation with sufficient information to identify the trafficker or other important part of the exploitation they have been exposed to. Furthermore, the victim itself is considered a great challenge in the investigation of THB‐cases. The findings also indicate that the organisational structure of the police districts, combined with how THB is prioritized with regard to resources and personnel, may have some affect as to how the investigation is conducted in the different police districts.

Masteroppgave i politivitenskap. Oslo: PHS Abstract: Masteroppgaven retter søkelyset mot politiets patruljetjeneste og hvordan denne kan organiseres hvis ivaretakelse og styrking av politiets lokale forankring og forebyggende kapasiteter vurderes som viktig. Hensikten med oppgaven er å se på ulike patruljestrategier som kan kompensere for den fysiske distanseringen fra lokalsamfunnene som kan følge av en sentraliseringsprosess. Patruljestrategiene som presenteres i oppgaven kan bidra til å opprettholde politiets lokale forankring, og til en videreutvikling og styrking av politiets forebyggende kapasitet. På denne måten kan politietaten bli bedre rustet til å løse sitt samfunnsoppdrag. Oppgaven er et resultat av et casestudie av Follo politidistrikt som i en treårsperiode frem mot 2010 gjennomførte en omorganiseringsprosess i form av nedleggelse av 13 lensmannskontorer/politistasjoner og opprettelsen av to større driftsenheter. Oppgavens empiri er hentet fra kvalitative intervjuer av ansatte i Follo politidistrikt, samt fra gjennomlesing av dokumenter produsert av Follo politidistrikt i forbindelse med det aktuelle endringsarbeidet. Empirien er analysert ved bruk av ulike teoretiske perspektiver på årsaker til kriminalitet, samt teorier som omhandler hvordan politiet kan styrke sin relasjon til befolkningen gjennom adferd og væremåte. Videre er det foretatt en analyse av hva ansatte legger til grunn når de vurderer omorganiseringsprosesser på egen arbeidsplass. I oppgaven presenteres tre ulike patruljestrategier: (1) community policing, (2) hot spots policing og (3) problemorientert politiarbeid. Forskjellige sider ved patruljestrategiene blir drøftet opp mot utvalgte teoretiske perspektiver, samt opp mot tidligere forskning og undersøkelser av patruljestrategier og sentraliseringsprosesser i norsk og utenlandsk politi. I oppgaven diskuteres også i hvilken grad distriktet hadde et bevisst forhold til eventuelle endringer i den lokale forankring og de forebyggende kapasiteter som følge av omorganiseringen, samt hvilke kompenserende tiltak som ble iverksatt, det redegjøres for prosessrettferdighet og medvirkningsmuligheter for de ansatte underveis i omorganisering, samt for de ansattes engasjement og endringsvilje. Masteroppgaven gir ingen entydige konklusjoner hva gjelder hvordan fremtidens norske patruljetjeneste bør se ut. Den patruljestrategien som til slutt fremheves kan likevel være et godt utgangspunkt for videre diskusjon av fremtidens patruljetjeneste i politiet, spesielt hvis ivaretakelse og styrking av politiets lokale forankring og forebyggende kapasiteter er en viktig målsetting. Masteroppgaven gir heller ingen entydige konklusjoner hva gjelder viktige faktorer for ansattes vurderinger av prosess og utfall i omorganiseringsprosesser. Likevel fremstår spesielt rettferdighet og medvirkningsmuligheter som viktig når omorganiseringer på arbeidsplassen evalueres.

Redlich (red), Trond Myklebust (red). (2016). International developments and practices in investigative interviewing and interrogation. Volume 2: Suspects. Routledge. Her følger omtale av volume 1 som er inndelt etter regionene: Asia, Australia, Europa, NordAmerika og Sør-Amerika: Techniques in the investigative interviewing and interrogation of victims, witnesses and suspects of crime vary around the world, according to a country’s individual legal system, religion and culture. Whereas some countries have developed certain interview protocols for witnesses (such as the ABE Guidelines and the NICHD protocol when interviewing children) and the PEACE model of interviewing suspects, other countries continue to use physical coercion and other questionable tactics to elicit information. Until now, there has been very little empirical information about the overall interview and interrogation practices in non-western countries, especially the Middle and Far East. This book addresses this gap, bringing together international experts from over 25 countries and providing in-depth coverage of the various interview and interrogation techniques used across the globe. Volume 1 focuses on the interviewing of victims and witnesses, aiming to provide the necessary information for an understanding of how law enforcement agencies around the world gain valuable information from victims and witnesses in criminal cases. Together, the chapters that make up this volume and the accompanying volume on interviewing suspects, draw on specific national case studies and practices, examine contemporary challenges and identify best practice to enable readers to develop an international, as well as a comparative, perspective of developments worldwide in this important area of criminal investigation. http://www.tandf.net/books/details/9781315769684/ Artiklar, tidskrifter CEPOL provides access to 500 000 scientific articles on policing. European Police College. CEPOL provides users of the CEPOL eNet access to articles from scientific journals considered relevant for policing and law enforcement in the context of the European Police College.

Unsolved homicides in Sweden: A population-based study of 264 homicides. Forensic Science International. 2015 Aug 5;257:106-113. Abstract: The clearance rates for homicides have decreased internationally. This retrospective population-based study of all Swedish homicide incidents between 2007 and 2009 (n = 264) aims to investigate factors associated with solvability in homicides. Victims were identified in an autopsy registry and offenders in a criminal-conviction registry. Autopsy reports, police files, court verdicts and criminal records were systematically collected and linked. The clearance rate was 86.4% (n = 228), and almost three quarters of cases (71.9%) were solved within the first week. Nine factors were significantly associated with the case status; however, only four factors remained significant in the multivariate logistic-regression model. Cases were more likely to be solved if there was an eyewitness and if the victim was intoxicated with alcohol. Moreover, cases were less likely to be solved if the victim had a criminal record in the past five years and was killed by a firearm. In the final model, a Cox proportional-hazards model, where time to arrest was taken into account, only alcohol intoxication were positively and firearms negatively significantly associated with clearance status. The study concludes that cases involving these factors should be granted extra, intensive and lasting resources.

Psychology, Crime & Law. Abstract Biased decision making in criminal investigations can impede or arrest the progress of justice. Previous research has not systematically addressed the effects of professional experience on the quality of detectives’ decision making.Using a quasi-experimental design, this study compared the quality of investigative decisions made by experienced detectives and novice police officers in two countries with markedly different models for the development of investigative expertise (England and Norway). Participants (N = 124) were presented with two semi-fictitious cases and were asked to report all relevant investigative hypotheses and necessary investigative actions in each case. The quality of participants’ responses was gauged against a gold standard established by a panel of senior homicide experts. In the English sample, experienced detectives vastly outperformed novice police officers in the number of reported gold-standard investigative hypotheses and actions. In the Norwegian sample, however, experienced detectives did not perform any better than novices. We argue that English (vs. Norwegian) detectives may benefit more from professional experience due to their Professionalising Investigation Programme and a nationwide accreditation program, requiring them to engage in extensive standardized training, systematic evaluation and synchronized development. In contrast, Norway lacks such requirements. Methodological limitations and implications for police training and accreditation policies are discussed.

Abstract Denne artikkelen vil med utgangspunkt i handlingsplanen «Politiets bekjempelse av narkotikakriminalitet i perioden 2011 til 2015» (POD 2010) drøfte politiets oppgaver og rolle slik de kommer til uttrykk der. Hensikten med dette er å forsøke å si noe om ulike polisiære tilnærminger på feltet, hvordan de begrunnes, hva man forventer vil komme ut av dem og forhåpentligvis noe om forskning på feltet.

(2015). The NICHD protocol: A review of an internationally-used evidence-based tool for training child forensic interviewers. Journal of criminological research, policy and practice, 1(2), 76-89. Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review an evidence-based tool for training child forensic interviewers called the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Protocol (NICHD Protocol), with a specific focus on how the Protocol is being adapted in various countries. Design/methodology/approach – The authors include international contributions from experienced trainers, practitioners, and scientists, who are already using the Protocol or whose national or regional procedures have been directly influenced by the NICHD Protocol research (Canada, Finland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, and USA). Throughout the review, these experts comment on: how and when the Protocol was adopted in their country; who uses it; training procedures; challenges to implementation and translation; and other pertinent aspects. The authors aim to further promote good interviewing practice by sharing the experiences of these international experts. Findings – The NICHD Protocol can be easily incorporated into existing training programs worldwide and is available for free. It was originally developed in English and Hebrew and is available in several other languages. Originality/value – This paper reviews an evidence-based tool for training child forensic interviewers called the NICHD Protocol. It has been extensively studied and reviewed over the past 20 years. This paper is unique in that it brings together practitioners who are actually responsible for training forensic interviewers and conducting forensic interviews from all around the world.

Abstract: This article examines a general trend towards the ‘decentring’ of the policing of economic and White-collar crime in Sweden in recent decades. As a theoretical point of departure, we discuss how the ‘decentred policing’ concept can link the theoretical approaches of regulation and policing studies. We then analyse five empirical cases in which private actors have been given duties and incentives to report others’ crimes, in order to give a detailed account of the expansion and effects of the decentring of business and finance policing. The five cases concern the policing of bankruptcy crimes, money laundering, company management crimes, market abuse and insider dealings, and illegal cartels. The article ends by discussing some possible causes and consequences of this tendency Fulltextlänk: http://bjc.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/07/14/bjc.azv070.abstract Konferenser, kurser m.m.
