I den nya boken Polisen bakom kulisserna skriver Stefan Holgersson, polis och forskare vid Linköpings universitet, att Polisen använder sig av olika metoder för att parera kritik och bygga upp positiva bilder av verksamheten. Men Varg Gyllander som är presschef på Polismyndigheten i Stockholms län vänder sig mot Stefan Holgerssons beskrivningar. Han säger att det är oundvikligt att det ibland blir fel och missuppfattningar i en så stor organisation som Polisen, men att det handlar om enskilda fall och inte om några medvetna förvanskningar.” (Sveriges Radios hemsida, länk nedan) Programmet på 24 minuter kan lyssnas på här https://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/460032?programid=1302 På Aftonbladets kultursida anmäls Holgerssons bok under rubriken ”Polisens fusk sett från insidan, Frustrerande läsning av Stefan Holgersson om hur polisen förskönar bilden av sin verksamhet”. http://www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/bokrecensioner/article20132675.ab Se även Patrik Thunholms fallstudie av svensk polis mediahantering (presenterad i nyhetsbrevet maj 2014): Thunholm Patrik (2014) Kommunikativ maktförskjutning?

Nr 002, 2014 http://lnu.se/polopoly_fs/1.110878!Kommunikativ.pdf Holgersson citerar i sin bok en anonym polischef som säger: ”Det är klart att polisen måste få göra som andra organisationer och redovisa saker på ett sådant sätt att allmänheten får en positiv bild av verksamheten.” Den skönmålning av den egna verksamheten som Holgersson visar på är enligt docenterna Josef Pallas och Magnus Fredriksson en del av en generell strategi: ”Utifrån vår egen och andrasforskning kan vi konstatera att de prioriteringar och värderingar som får styra myndigheters kommunikationsarbete får direkta följder för hur andra funktioner och ansvarsområden organiseras och bedrivs. Vilket skrivningar i styrdokument, omfördelning av medel till varumärkesarbetet på bekostnad av andra aktiviteter, efterhandsredigering av och selektiv tillgång till utrednings- och forskningsrapporter och andra övertramp är ett tydligt uttryck för.” http://www.unt.se/asikt/debatt/slapp-fram-intern-kritik-3503597.aspx För vetenskapliga rapporter av Fredriksson & Pallas se: Fredriksson, M. & Pallas, J.

The proposals include that the program will be three years of study at university level, the school will be an independent unit, but education outsourced to the educational system to a large extent and the police school will be the educational and research center for police. (Från NSfK:s nyhetsbrev) Proposal for Research Network on Police Culture Proposal for Research Network on Police Culture: Legitimacy, Democracy and Institutional Ethos. Multi-Disciplinary and World-Wide Perspectives Dr Jonathan Dunnage and Dr Chris Millington (Swansea University, UK) are looking to set up a network of researchers and practitioners to investigate police culture. They are preparing a bid to the Arts and Humanities Research Council to fund a series of workshops at which members of the network will be able to meet to discuss the values, behaviour, mentalities and self-representation of the police in democratic and non-democratic societies from the nineteenth century to the present day. The workshops will encourage debate among academic researchers from several disciplines (including history, criminology, media and film studies) and practitioners from police forces and related professions, and provide a forum for establishing future collaborative projects. Besides publishing papers from the workshops, the network will also run a web-page for sharing ideas and experiences among participants and the wider academic and practitioner communities. The organizers are particularly keen for police officers and trainers from the UK and beyond to take part in the network, relating and sharing their own experiences and responding to academic papers on police culture. Details of the project are attached. Anyone interested in participating is kindly requested to contact Jonathan Dunnage telephone: 0044 (0)1792 602610; email: [email protected] Hemsidor för polisdebatt Fd föreståndaren vid Centrum för polisforskning har startat en hemsida.. Han anger att ”Mottot för denna webbsida, lite seriösare, lite tråkigare, kan sägas vara en reaktion på att frågor om brott, polis etc. blivit mer och mer underhållning. Polisprofessorn 2.0, som sidan heter, får sägas stå för en sådan motkraft mot brott och polis enbart sett som underhållning.” http://www.polisprofessorn.se Även polisforskaren Stefan Holgersson har i samband med att han gett ut sin bok ”Polisen bakom kulisserna” öppnat en hemsida där han presenterar sig och sin forskning. http://www.polisforskning.net Dokumentation från symposium om Contemporary Policing I oktober anordnade Scottish Institute of Police Research och Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy (CEBCP) George Mason University USA en konferens om contemporary policing.

Copenhagen Business School, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy. Short abstract: What does it mean to be innovative in public organizations? Scholars and policy makers call for public sector organizations to become innovative, whether this is through increasing collaboration, exploring networks or recognizing the innovation that occurs in government. This study contributes to this discussion a critical perspective arguing that much of the innovation that occurs in public organizations may come about in ways that are intentionally silenced by the organization and therefore dependent on the tactical creation of space for everyday creativity. It does so through an 18-month ethnographic study informed by Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and discourse, as well as his history of the emergence of police within the state, and by De Certeau’s theory of everyday practice and metaphor of the city.

Thygesen Vendius Trine (2014). Europol - fra informationsudveksling til fælles efterforskningsteknikker? København:Københavns Universitet, Det Juridiske Fakultet. Summary in English Since the mid '90's there has been a gradual shift within police investigations moving from a reactive to a more proactive approach based on increased information sharing and intelligence-led policing. Europol, the European Police Office, through its role as the information sharing and analysis unit, has in many ways been a forerunner of this development. The shift is the result of an overall change in how crime has developed where criminals are increasingly operating in networks across borders. With free access to the Internet, criminals are provided with a new platform to commit crimes as well as easier access to their victims. Children form a particularly vulnerable group as sexual offenders have direct access contact to their victims through chat rooms and social networking sites. Simultaneously, sexual offenders also have easier access to images of sexual abuse of children which they share with like-minded people using the internet as a tool. This thesis focuses on European police cooperation within the framework of Europol and the overall aim of effectively combating Internet-related (online) sexual crimes against children. The thesis concludes that there is a need for a new paradigm in the proactive investigation of these types of crimes if the police forces of EU member states are to fulfill the overall objective of effectively combating Internet-related (online) sexual crimes against children.

Brott begångna av barn En utvärdering av ändringarna i lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om unga lagöverträdare under 15 år. Stockholm: BRÅ. Ur Brå:s presentation: ”Ändringarna i lagen om unga lagöverträdare (LUL) skulle leda till att polisen utredde alla grövre brott som begås av barn under 15 år och att socialtjänsten i övriga fall skulle bedöma behovet av polisutredningar. Lagreformen 2010 har inte lett till att en större andel av de brottsmisstänkta barnen utreds av polisen. Såväl 2005 som 2012 var det en femtedel som utreddes. – De grövre brotten, som till exempel rån, våldtäkt, grov misshandel och mordbrand utreds däremot oftare. Men det görs fortfarande inte regelmässigt. Här måste polisen bli bättre på att verkligen följa lagens krav, säger Nadja Bogestam, utredare på Brå. Andelen utredningar som initierats av socialtjänsten halverades mellan 2005 och 2012, tvärtemot lagstiftarens intentioner. Det tycks delvis bero på att socialsekreterarna inte uppmärksammat att det ligger på dem att be polisen om en utredning, när de tycker att en sådan vore värdefull. Men det beror också på att socialtjänsten ofta tycker att de fått veta tillräckligt om vad barnet gjort och vilka insatser som behövs genom den egna utredningen. – Polisen och socialtjänsten har ibland lite olika syn på värdet av ett polisförhör, säger Nadja Bogestam. En ökad samverkan behövs för en ökad förståelse för varandras roller och kompetenser. En underliggande tanke bakom lagändringen är att den markering som ett polisförhör innebär, skulle kunna minska risken att barnet återfaller i brott. Brås studie ger inget stöd för den tanken. Det är också så att en fjärdedel av de brottsmisstänkta barnen inom ett år misstänkts för nya brott, och inom tre år är det hälften av barnen som misstänks för nya brott. – Att så många återfaller är ett tecken på att detta är en grupp barn som samhället bör rikta uppmärksamhet mot. Men just polisförhör verkar inte vara någon effektiv insats, säger Stina Holmberg, enhetschef på Brå.” För nedladdning: https://www.bra.se/bra/publikationer/arkiv/publikationer/2014-12-17-brott-begangna-avbarn.html Brårapporter: Begränsad effekt av nya lagregler mot stalkning Ur Brå:s presentation: ”Den nya lagbestämmelsen om olaga förföljelse som infördes 2011 har inte lett till särskilt många anmälningar och andelen fällande domar är liten. Den nya möjligheten att besluta om fotboja för dem som fysiskt överträder ett utvidgat kontaktförbud, har heller inte utnyttjats i någon större utsträckning. Det framkommer i två nya rapporter som Brottsförebyggande rådet (Brå) publicerar.” Jerre Kristina (2015). Olaga förföljelse Tillämpningen av den nya straffbestämmelsen.

Tryghed og holdning til politi og retssystem. En sammenligning mellem Danmark og andre europæiske lande. Justitsministeriet Ur danska Justitsministeriets webbpresentation Sammenlignet med 22 andre europæiske lande ligger Danmark i top, når det gælder befolkningens tillid til domstolene og politiet. Kun overgået af islændingene er danskerne de tryggeste ved at færdes alene efter mørkets frembrud. Det viser en ny rapport fra Justitsministeriets Forskningskontor. Danskerne stoler i vid udstrækning på, at domstolene behandler alle ens. Faktisk er Danmark det land i Europa, hvor tilliden til retssystemet er allerhøjest. Det konkluderer en ny rapport fra Justitsministeriets Forskningskontor, som er baseret på en sammenlignende undersøgelse af tryghed, tillid og holdning til politi og domstole i 23 europæiske lande. Også politiet nyder stor tillid i befolkningen herhjemme. Danmark er kun overgået af Finland i graden af borgernes tillid til politiet. På en skala fra 0 til 10, hvor 0 er ’ingen tillid overhovedet’ og 10 er ’fuld tillid’, lander Danmark på 8,0. Udover en høj tillid til retssystemet er det kendetegnende for danskerne, at de i det hele taget har stor tillid til andre mennesker. Danskerne ligger i den nye undersøgelse – såvel som i de fem foregående – på en førsteplads i spørgsmålet om generel tillid til andre. Der er ingen kønsforskel i tilliden til andre mennesker, men de ældre giver udtryk for en større tillid til andre, end de yngre aldersgrupper gør. Når det gælder spørgsmålet om, hvor tryg man er ved at bevæge sig udenfor efter solnedgang, er danskerne kun overgået af islændingene. Hele 54 % af danskerne svarer således, at de er meget trygge, når de færdes alene i deres lokalområde efter mørkets frembrud. Det er cirka dobbelt så mange som gennemsnittet i undersøgelsen. Undersøgelsen European Social Survey, som ligger til grund for den nye rapport, blev gennemført første gang i 2002 og er siden foretaget hvert andet år.

Ur Brå:s presentation: ”I befolkningen mellan 16 och 79 år uppger 60 procent att de har stort förtroende för rättsväsendet. Det är en ökning med 6 procentenheter sedan 2006. Lika många, 60 procent, uppger att de har stort förtroende för Polisen. … Generellt har ungdomar i åldern 16–19 år störst förtroende för rättsväsendet.” ”Andelen som oroar sig för att utsättas för överfall eller misshandel har minskat från 15 procent år 2006 till 10 procent år 2014. Oron för att utsättas för fordonsrelaterade brott har under samma period minskat från 22 till 12 procent, medan oron för bostadsinbrott har legat relativt stabil på cirka 16 procent. Samtidigt är det allt färre som uppger att de tror att brottsligheten ökar kraftigt. År 2006 uppgav 41 procent att de trodde det och år 2014 hade andelen sjunkit till 25 procent.” För ytterligare information och nedladdning av Nationella trygghetsundersökningen (2014): http://bra.se/bra/nytt-fran-bra/arkiv/press/2015-01-13-fortroendet-for-rattsvasendet-okar.html Kritisk rapport av svensk polis instrument för riskanalyser Mellgren Caroline, Svalin Klara, Levander Sten & Torstensson Levander Marie (2014) Riskanalys i polisverksamhet – fungerar det? Slutrapport från ett utvärderingsprojekt. Rikspolisstyrelsens utvärderingsfunktion Rapport 2014:7. Stockholm: Rikspolisstyrelsen Av studien genomförd av forskare vid Kriminologiska institutionen Malmö högskola framgår att den övergripande slutsatsen i studien är att riskanalyser inte leder till att brottsoffer mer sällan utsätts för upprepade brott och att åtgärder till brottsdrabbade ges utan vetenskaplig kunskap. Det beror bland annat på att bedömningar av risk görs utan ett komplett underlag för att bedöma just risken och att verktygens förmåga att förutse åtgärdernas förebyggande effekt är svag För nedladdning: https://www.polisen.se/Aktuellt/Rapporter-och-publikationer/Rapporter/Publicerat--Nationellt/Brottsofferarbete/Riskanalys-i-polisverksamhet/ Norsk master Politiet og kriminalitetsofre Giske, Camilla (2014). Politiet og kriminalitetsofre : en studie av formelt ansvar og praksis. Master thesis. Oslo: Politihøgskolen Abstract: Hvilken rolle og hvilket ansvar har politiet, formelt og i praksis, for kriminalitetsofre? Spørsmålet besvares gjennom en omfattende dokumentanalyse av gjeldende regelverk, offentlige utredninger og handlingsplaner fra siste 30 år. Trenden viser at ofre for kriminalitet er viet gradvis større oppmerksomhet både i strafferettsystemet, forskning og i mediene de siste tiårene, og oppmerksomhet rundt ofre har endret seg fra «ofre som vitner» til «ofre som skal ivaretas» for å redusere gjentatt viktimisering, skape trygghet og forebygge kriminalitet. I oppgaven presenteres «Trygghetsprogrammet» - et strukturert oppfølgingsverktøy for unge ofre og vitner til vold, ran, trusler, seksuelle overgrep og hatkriminalitet, utviklet ved Manglerud politistasjon i Oslo. For å belyse politiets innsats for unge kriminalitetsofre har forfatteren gjennomført en kvalitativ intervjuundersøkelse av 8 trygghetsguider (polititjenestepersoner) ved Manglerud politistasjon om deres erfaringer med oppfølging av unge kriminalitetsofre gjennom Trygghetsprogrammet. Undersøkelsen viser at politibetjenter som har vært engasjert som trygghetsguider opplever at de gjennom anerkjennelse fra brukerne blir motivert til videre innsats. De anser det å være trygghetsguide som en utvidelse av politirollen og føler at de gjør en meningsfylt jobb fordi de bidrar til å reetablere trygghetsfølelsen hos unge ofre og deres foreldre. I oppgaven undersøkes også hvilke erfaringer ungdommene og deres foreldre har med å være brukere av Trygghetsprogrammet ved en gjennnomgang av alle anonymiserte evalueringsskjemaer som er returnert til politiet i perioden 2009-2012. Svarprosenten har dessverre vært lav, men de knappe 30 prosentene som har svart på evalueringen, er meget godt fornøyde med oppfølgingen de har fått.

It attempts to list recent work which has been carried out by researchers in Scotland and/or about policing in Scotland. It also includes some papers and articles about policing elsewhere which resonate with key current themes in Scottish policing. http://www.sipr.ac.uk/downloads/PoliceBibliography.pdf Lectures on Evidence Based Policing Scottish Institute of Police Research (2014). Policing: Connecting Evidence and Practice. SIPR Annual Lectures, 2007–2012 “Against a background of a growing recognition of the value of evidence-based approaches to policing, this booklet contains five SIPR Annual Lectures delivered between 2007 and 2012 … by Wesley Skogan (Northwestern University), Lawrence Sherman (University of Cambridge), Nick Tilley (University College, London), Betsy Stanko (Metropolitan Police Service) and Peter Neyroud (University of Cambridge). Each speaker drew on their wealth of experience and distinguished record of academic and professional achievement to craft lectures which offer compelling arguments and illustrations of how research evidence can be used to enhance the effectiveness and legitimacy of policing. From improving policecommunity relations and public confidence to tackling hot spots of crime and disorder; from understanding better the uses of police discretion to the importance of evidence-based approaches for developing the professional status of policing, each of the lectures mobilizes a range of research to address key issues and innovations in contemporary policing as well as highlighting important challenges for the future. Collectively the lectures also show the richness of the ‘supply’ of research evidence across different areas of policing as well as the growing ‘demand’ from within police organizations to integrate evidence-based approaches into policy and practice.”(Nicholas Fyfe) Contents: Leadership from Bottom to Top: Community Policing in Chicago, Professor Wesley G.

(2015). Policing Humanitarian Borderlands: Frontex, Human Rights and the Precariousness of Life. .British Journal of Criminology 2015) 55 (1): 1-18 Abstract: The article critically examines the peculiar co-existence of the securitization of the border and the growing presence and prominence of human rights and humanitarian ideals in border policing practices. Concretely, it focuses on Frontex, the agency tasked with management of EU’s external borders. Based on interviews with Frontex officials and border guard officers, and on the analysis of relevant policy documents and official reports, the article explores what may come across as a discrepancy between the organization’s activities and its public self-presentation. The objective is to provide an insight into the complex and volatile relationship between policing and human rights, which marks contemporary migration control as well as mundane forms of professional and personal self-understanding.

The hole in the doughnut: a study of police discretion in a nightlife setting International Journal of Research and Policy. Published online: 08 Dec 2014. Abstract; Policing is permeated by situations in which discretion is most important. A substantial part of police work in the nightlife setting involves management of drunk and disorderly patrons, and police officers operate with considerable discretion. The aim of this paper is to explore patterns of decision-making and to identify factors that influence an officer's use of discretion in nightlife settings. The data were collected during fieldwork with patrolling police on weekend nights in Oslo and from interviews with police officers. This study provides an insight into the everyday work of police officers in Oslo. The officers mostly manage a number of minor incidents, such as disorderly behaviour and alcohol-related trivialities. Police officers generally ignore many minor incidents and seek to resolve cases in the easiest way possible, which implies under-enforcement of the law. Discretionary assessments depend on situational variables, system variables and offender variables. This paper reveals the importance of these variables and argues that we need to include officer variables as well to get a fuller picture of street-level police officers' decision-making. Lipsky's theory of street-level bureaucrats describes how discretionary assessments are based on human judgement, personal decisions and normative choices. Similarly, police officer characteristics involving individual norms and moral beliefs are an important part of discretionary decision-making.

Politiforum, (11), 42-43. Sammendrag: Det er liten dekning for påstandene om at det store flertallet av studentene ved Politihøgskolen er svært misfornøyde med utdanningen generelt, og den operative opplæringen spesielt. Vår undersøkelse av årets avgangskull viser at mange opplever at utdanningen har gitt dem den kompetansen de har behov for. Samtidig viser resultatene at det er delte meninger innad blant studentene, og at et relativt stort mindretall opplever at de mangler viktig operativ kompetanse når de går ut fra PHS.

Journal of Scandinavian Studies in Criminology and Crime Prevention 2014 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify an appropriate conceptual model of empathy from the perspective of police work. This paper draws on the existing literature from two areas of research: (a) the literature describing the characteristics of the ideal police officer from a general perspective, as well as in a specifically Swedish context and (b) the literature analysing empathy as a theoretical construct. It is found that theoretical interdisciplinary approaches in the fields of social psychology and social cognitive neuroscience are relevant. The suggested conceptual model of empathy appropriate for the policing profession incorporates the typically antagonistic nature of police–citizen contacts, personal traits as expressed in interpersonal relations, and the social and cultural context. Because of the diversity and multicultural nature of modern societies, the values guiding police–citizen encounters are given special attention and related to the empathy research tradition. The proposed conceptual model of empathy aims at guiding future research in police–citizen interaction and, ultimately, supporting police practices regarding recruitment, career advancement and fieldwork.

Within ‘the Tin Bubble’: the police and ethnic minorities in Sweden. Policing & society Volume 25, Issue 2, 2015 pp. 129-149. Abstract: How can discriminatory treatment along perceived ethnic lines become reproduced within a discursive climate that claims to support ethnic diversity and condemn racism? Through an analysis of interviews with 21 current and former employees of the Swedish Police who identified their background as ‘foreign’, this article investigates how certain language use and specific talk can be reproduced in spite of the internal and external criticism directed at them. Six different, institutionally available accounts resorted to by the interviewees to make sense of and legitimise the derogatory language and joking they encountered at work are examined, shedding light on how the use of derogatory language, slurs, and degrading humour about ethnic minorities can remain commonplace within the police force without becoming considered as especially problematic. In addition, the analysis shows that which takes place within the police's own ‘Tin Bubble’, or in the police car, canteen, and lunchroom, to potentially have a carryover effect from one context to the other, colouring police interactions with the public and adversely affecting the workplace satisfaction of police employees coming from minority backgrounds.

(2014). Barriers to Achieving Ethnic Diversity in the Norwegian Police Service. Policing: A journal of policy and practice. Published online December 22. Sammendrag: The police are perceived as being one of the most interesting and challenging organizations in which to study diversity because of the police’s symbolic meaning, visible role in society, legitimate power, and contact with all citizens. Even though many reports and studies have addressed diversity within the police, few have investigated recruitment, retention, and promotion of diversity in the police profession across nations from a policy perspective (van Ewijk, 2012). This article reviews studies of ethnic diversity in Norwegian police education and in the Norwegian Police Service (NPS). The studies are discussed in light of the most recent action plan and policy documents on diversity in the NPS. Our aim is to contribute an updated account of the barriers to achieving ethnic diversity in the NPS through the recruitment, retention, and promotion stages. The findings suggest that diversity work may be aimed at the immigrant students’ respective communities and families as well as the internal student environment at the Norwegian Police University College to address recruitment and retention issues. Strategic leader promotion of diversity in the NPS can be increased by developing recruitment procedures for police leader education, as practiced at the bachelor level, as well as by looking into selection practices by police leaders. Finally, even though action plans are in place, they have not necessarily been evaluated. Without systematic evaluation, it is difficult to ascertain whether and/or to what extent the aims for diversity in the NPS have been met and which measures have proved effective.

Call for papers on Police Brutality in Journal of Urban Health Though violence has long been considered a public health issue, police brutality has remained largely outside the purview of public health. Few empirical studies have examined its consequences for the public's health or tested interventions to reduce its frequency or toll. Over the past few months, a social movement has coalesced in many US cities to eradicate police brutality. Among other things, this movement has catalyzed discussions about public health's role in understanding and eliminating this form of violence. The purposes of this special section of the Journal of Urban Health (JUH) are to foster and gather together cuttingedge conceptual and empirical work and pedagogy about police brutality in urban areas as a public health issue, and develop and disseminate related interventions. Deadline February 6. We invite manuscripts about police brutality and public health that are designed to do any of the following: * Describe results of empirical analyses (qualitative or quantitative); * Advance theory; * Develop measures of exposure to police brutality, including investigating the psychometric or econometric properties of these measures; * Describe interventions or social movements to prevent police brutality or reduce its impact; * Share pedagogical strategies to teach about police brutality in public health courses or community health settings; * Discuss any other aspect of the topic. Manuscripts should focus on urban areas, and can focus on police brutality in any country. Please submit an unstructured abstract of up to 500 words to Drs. Hannah Cooper and Mindy Fullilove ([email protected] and [email protected]). We expect that we will invite approximately 5 authors to submit complete manuscripts; the due date for manuscripts will be in June 2015. In keeping with JUH's guidelines, manuscripts should be 3,500 words with 1-4 tables/figures and an unstructured abstract of 250 words. Additional guidelines can be found here:http://www.springer.com/public+health/journal/11524. IACP's Police Chief Magazine söker artikel om skolsäkerhet The International Association of Chiefs of Police is looking for someone international (outside of North America) to pen an article relating to school safety/security for an international issue of IACP's POLICE CHIEF Magazine. It can be elementary/middle/high school and it can be related to an incident which occurred or was encountered/dealt with in a foreign country, or perhaps it involves a program that was implemented to increase school security and lessons learned from it (i.e. case study). These are the details and parameters of what is requested: 1) IACP needs an article for the Police Chief Magazine March issue (end of January 2015) for submission to IACP editors 2) Article will be in the international issue, so must involve an incident or program internationally (not domestically in North America) 3) Authors may be 1) international or 2) international author who can collaborate in writing the article with a domestic author about an international program/incident 4) Authors can be an academic or a practitioner type or a mix, but the article should address something for the IACP audience of police chiefs/leaders and should present information that they will/can find useful and interesting. 5) There will be very little time for editing the article and it must be in English.

Also explored are the many ways that those who are subject to surveillance adopt, endorse, invite, subvert, resist, innovate, limit, comply with and monitor that very surveillance. As an interdisciplinary field of study the questions that shape surveillance studies center on the management of everyday and exceptional life personal data, privacy, security, and terrorism, for example. While race and ethnicity are terms often found in indexes of many of the recent edited collections and special journal issues dedicated to the study of surveillance, limited attention is paid to race and ethnicity as key sites through which surveillance is enacted. This can be seen, for example, in the absence of theorizations of race and ethnicity, and particularly whiteness, in the public discourses surrounding wikileaks, whistleblowing, and the NSA scandal. This special issue of Surveillance & Society is guided by the following question: How can centering race and/or ethnicity as categories of analysis help social theorists, artists, scholars and researchers to understand surveillance? We seek papers that explore the relationship between surveillance and configurations of race and ethnicity. We encourage contributions that theorize race and ethnicity as operating in an interlocking manner with gender, sexuality, dis/ability, class, religion, location and other categories of identity. Papers that critically and creatively interrogate oppression, inequalities, power and resistance would be especially welcome. Possible topics and approaches include, but are not limited to: - Critical race, postcolonial, queer and feminist approaches to theorizing surveillance. - The role of surveillance technologies in social sorting, digital discrimination, and ethnic and racial inequalities. - Race, ethnicity, statistics, mapping, big data and algorithmic surveillance. - Immigration, the banopticon and border management regimes. - Analysis of the use of social network sites for antiracist organizing and for shaming racist acts and hate tweets (for example, publicshaming.tumblr.com or the @YesYoureRacist twitter account) - Genetic ancestry testing, genomic technologies, and DNA exoneration. - Biometric information technologies Stop-and-frisk, flying-while-brown, existing-while-black, racial and ethnic profiling in policing. - Deployment of surveillance in the context of racialized transgender and gender non-conforming bodies and populations. - Role of surveillance in contemporary intelligence gathering, militarism and the policing of empire. For example, “black sites” and “kill lists”, targeted killings by way of drone strikes and other flying objects, indefinite detention, security certificates and other “War on Terror” acts that see racialized groups and individuals as their target. - Role of surveillance in systems of colonialism, slavery, and indentureship. Surveillance, the militarization of domestic policing, and the prison-industrial complex Other topics not outlined above are welcomed, opinion pieces and research notes, as well as art, audio-visual and other creative responses to modes of surveillance. Please contact the guest-editors in advance to discuss proposed topics.

Preventing social unrest: building relationships with local communities. Att bygga relationer med medborgare, kommuner och andra intressenter är avgörande för att nå framgång i modernt polisarbete, inte minst i utsatta områden. Professor Otto Adang professor vid Polishögskolan i Nederländerna kommer att berätta varför och presentera en modell för hur man kan förklara dynamiken i social oro och också visa hur denna modell kan användas för att ge praktiska rekommendationer. When the rules went down: rethinking riots as performative acts. Varför attackeras ambulanspersonal, varför vandaliseras och plundras affärer i samband med upplopp? Simon Hallsworth professor vid University Campus Suffol, menar att svaret får sökas i hur människor agerar under upploppen. Deltagarnas handlingar uttrycker deras åsikter och ställningstaganden och ger därmed en förståelse för varför upploppen sker. Att arbeta lokalt mot våldsbejakande extremism. Vad behövs för att man lokalt ska kunna förebygga våldsbejakande extremism? Vilken kunskap, vilka metoder, vilket nationellt stöd och vilken statistik finns i dag och vad behövs tas fram?

The theme of the 2015 Conference is: Making History: Shaping the Future. It is an opportunity to explore how far policing has come in responding to women in the community and the women in its ranks and supporting roles. The Conference will highlight areas that still need to be addressed and explore the challenges policing for women will face in the future. The Conference will build on previous Australian Women and Policing Conferences and continue to develop the body of knowledge around how policing is being improved for women, in particular: policing for women in the Pacific women’s leadership within policing and the leadership role that women in policing play in their local communities in Australia and globally innovative responses to violence against women. The Conference will coincide with New South Wales Police Force’s 100 years of women in policing celebrations.
