Med 45 seminariepresentationer och över 170 deltagare blev det den största hittills. Konferensen kommer att dokumenteras på olika sätt. Föreläsningarna av konferensens huvudtalare kommer inom kort att läggas ut på video på Polisutbildningen vid Linnéuniversitetets hemsida. Det gäller föreläsningarna av David Bayley, Maurice Punch, Paul Larsson, Lars Holmberg som alla behandlade polisforskningens ställning. Samma sak gäller Professor Gisli H Gudjonssons föreläsning “False Confessions and Correcting Injustices”. Vidare kommer en stor del av seminariernas power point presentationer att göras tillgängliga. Internetadresserna till föreläsningar och presentationer kommer i nästa nummer av nyhetsbrevet. Innan dess kan man bevaka hemsidan för polisutbildningens forskningsverksamhet: http://lnu.se/institutioner/polisutbildningen/forskning Den sjätte Nordiska polisforskningskonferensen kommer att hållas 2016 i Oslo. Omorganisering av norsk politi Den tidligere omtalte Politianalysen anbefalte en omorganisering av norsk politi og en reduksjon av antall politidistrikt. Den politiske avgjørelsen om antall politidistrikt er ikke vedtatt, men i forbindelse med stabs- og lederutviklingsprogrammet ved Politihøgskolen er flere politidistrikt nedprioritert og får nå ikke delta på kursene. Dette har ført til en medieoppslag: Foregriper Politidirektoratet beslutningene før de er demokratisk vedtatt?

Oppositionspartierna Socialdemokraternas juridiska talesperson Morgan Johansson (och tilltänkt justitieminister) har återkommande uttalat att en reformering av polisutbildningen mot högskoleutbildning är en fråga av högsta prioritet: ”Bättre utbildning, forskning och metodutveckling. Polisen måste bli en lärande organisation, och få stöd i sin metodutveckling av kriminologisk forskning av världsklass. Vi måste lära oss av de goda exempel som finns i andra länder när det gäller polisarbete, så att vi själva kan bli bättre. Polisutbildningen måste reformeras, förlängas och knytas till högskolan.” (Johansson Morgan Så får Sverige Europas bästa polis GP 29 juni 2014) http://www.gp.se/nyheter/debatt/1.989731-sa-far-sverige-europas-basta-polis-till-2020 Finsk polisutbildning akademisk Finsk polisutbildning stärker sin ställning som akademisk högskoleutbildning. Polishögskolan i Finlands forskningschef skriver i utbildningens nyuitkomna research review: A new Act on the Police University College entered into force at the beginning of 2014, replacing the former Act on Police Training passed in 2005. The act brings big changes to the structure and content of the training provided at the Police University College but also to its research and development functions. Under the new act, the basic education for police officers will become a university-level degree. Police officers who want posts in the police command will need to complete a master’s degree in policing. This brings the academic structure of police training in line with other university courses. The first courses under the new system will begin in the autumn of 2014. According to the act, the Police University College is responsible for providing scientific and academic university-level education in national safety and security for specialist vocational careers and command roles. The Police University College also supports individuals’ professional development and promotes lifelong learning. The statutory duties of the Police University College also include applied research and development to support the planning of police work and national safety and security as well as the teaching provided at the Police University College. This calls for methodologically and substantively diverse research as well as the ability to identify and factor in the needs of different target groups when producing information. The provisions concerning research and development have been modelled on other universities of applied sciences. They have considerable experience of practical research and development projects and of making use of the know-how of teachers and students in project work. The Police University College can adopt suitable best practices from other universities of applied sciences. The act calls special attention to the need for collaboration between the Police University College and national and international police organisations. The importance of collaboration, whether national or international, cannot be emphasised enough.

Finska Polisyrkeshögskolan mest populära utbildningen Unga finländare placerar Polisyrkeshögskolan på första plats i en kartläggning av yrkeshögskolornas anseende. Taloustutkimus gjorde på våren en imageundersökning, enligt vilken Polisyrkeshögskolan på basis av helhetsbetyget nådde toppen i en jämförelse av 20 yrkeshögskolor. Polisyrkeshögskolan har enligt ungdomarna flera särskilda styrkor: examen uppskattas på arbetsmarknaden, undervisningen håller hög nivå och skolan skiljer sig till sin fördel från de övriga högskolorna. Polisyrkeshögskolans anseende som studieplats hörde också till de bästa i jämförelsen. Polisen arbetar i en ständigt föränderlig omgivning. Också nu pågår en omfattande reform av polisutbildningen med syfte att säkerställa den ansedda yrkeskompetensen också i framtiden. Kvaliteten måste vara inbyggd i polisutbildningen, påpekar rektor Kimmo Himberg. http://www.polamk.fi/poliisi/poliisioppilaitos/home.nsf/psbd/E4949BC032FFDD0FC2257CD 3002E8FDF Styrning av norska PHS Politidirektoratet (2014) Styring av Politihøgskolen, utfordringer, dilemmaer og modeller. Oslo: Politidirektoratet Fra sammendraget Et utvalg har vurdert styringsmodellen for Politihøgskolen og stilt spørsmålet «Hvilken styringsmodell vil gjøre Politihøgskolen i stand til å løse oppdraget sitt på en best mulig måte i fremtiden?» I rapporten beskrives nå-situasjonen. Videre identifiseres utfordringene ved dagens styringsmodell. Politiutdannelsen har beveget seg fra å være en etatskole til en akkreditert høyskole. Dette har ført til et spenningsforhold mellom høyskolens faglige uavhengighet og etatsleders behov for å styre faglig retning og prioriteringer. Det er uklare roller, ansvar og myndighet innenfor de ulike virksomhetene og nivåene i styringsmodellen og ved en strukturreform bør Politihøgskolen organisatorisk likestilles med de nye politidistriktene (regionene) og særorganene for å få samsvar mellom ansvar og myndighet. Verken etats- og virksomhetsstyringen av Politihøgskolen eller kompetansestyringen i politiet har ikke fungert tilfredsstillende. Utvalget foreslår følgende: ·Å videreføre hybrid -modellen mellom en etatskole og en fristilt høyskole. Dette alternativet vil balansere behovene knyttet til etatens kortsiktige og langsiktige kompetanseutvikling og den nødvendige akademiske friheten. Å avklare roller, ansvar og myndighet i et svært komplekst styringsbilde og å rendyrke styringslinjene. Politihøgskolens styre bør beholdes og styrelederen bør delta i styringsdialogmøtene med Politidirektoratet. Å styrke Politidirektoratets styringsmuligheter som etatsleder av Politihøgskolen gjennom å etablere langsiktige strategiske mål og planer for etatens kunnskapsutvikling og kompetanseutvikling. Å etablere et strategisk kompetanseråd som fungerer som et rådgivende organ for politidirektørens strategiske ledergruppe i utviklingen av etatens strategi for kompetanseutvikling. Å utnytte forskningsvirksomheten bedre i etaten. Forskning og ny kunnskap blir tilgjengelig for flere og omsettes til praktisk anvendbar kompetanse Rapporten inte tillgänglig på nätet när detta nyhetsbrev skrivs Stort norskt forskningsprojekt: Politimetoder i endring Politihøgskolen i Norge er av Norges Forskningsråd bevilget forskningsmidler til prosjektet ”Politimetoder i endring” under programmet ”Strategiske høgskoleprosjekter. Prosjektets ledes av professor Helene O. I. Gundhus ved Politihøgskolens Forskningsavdeling, og skal pågå fra 2015-2018. Siktemålet er å utvikle ny kunnskap innenfor politivitenskap på områder som mangler empirisk forskning og teoriutvikling både nasjonalt og internasjonalt, og skape et mer dynamisk og robust forskningsmiljø for nye og etablerte forskere. Bakgrunn for prosjektet er manglende systematisk empirisk forskning på utvisking av skiller mellom forebygging, etterretning og etterforskning, samt reaktivt og proaktivt politiarbeid. Prosjektet skal undersøke praktiske og normative konsekvenser, samt teoretiske forståelser av slike dreininger gjennom fire ulike caser: • Utvisking av skiller mellom økonomisk og organisert kriminalitet • Politiets arbeid overfor 1% MC-grupper • Politiets arbeid med volumkriminalitet/mobil vinningskriminalitet • Utvisking av skiller mellom etterretning, etterforskning og forebygging i relasjon til grenseoverskridende kriminalitet Prosjektet vil i løpet av høsten utlyse tre stillinger: 1) PhD-prosjekt som skal utforske organisasjons- og profesjonsrelaterte aspekter ved politiets arbeid opp mot økonomisk og organisert kriminalitet, 2) enten et PhD-prosjekt eller seniorforskerprosjekt, avhengig av søkers kvalifikasjoner, som skal undersøke politiets arbeid overfor 1% MC-grupper, og 3) et seniorforsker-prosjekt som skal undersøke politiets arbeid med volumkriminalitet/mobil vinningskriminalitet.

Abstract Forces in the Police Force: Discursive Conflict, Dilemmas and Resistance in Police Trainee Discourse on Diversity This thesis identifies and describes the diversity aspects of police discourse based on the accounts of police trainees in their final year. Specifically, the focus is on culture, religion and ethnicity, and four main questions are addressed: What is said about diversity? How is it articulated? What subject positions are offered and assumed? In what ways are discourses of diversity sustained and challenged? The analysis of discourse in use is based on field studies conducted at the Swedish National Police Academy and focus group interviews with police trainees in the educational setting and during their trainee placement period. The analytical concepts of interpretative repertoire, ideological dilemmas, subject positions and discursive devices are employed to identify how different meanings are ascribed to diversity. Three central discourses of diversity are presented: diversity as inescapable difference (a hegemonic practice), diversity as political goal (recognition of diversity) and diversity as potential likeness (regulation of diversity). These are competing discourses on how police officers should be and how their role is understood in relation to a pluralistic society. The study shows that the contradictory diversity discourses reflect a struggle of different ‘us’, which regulates the conception of the ideal police officer, professional conduct and the performance of policing. In addition, five dilemmas originating in the tension between the discourses are outlined. Diversity is found to involve ideological dilemmas regarding how policing should be conducted in relation to profiling and social categories, how humour and jargon are viewed and handled, and how lack of knowledge may mean attributing subject positions to others with discriminatory implications. The thesis contributes to showing how diversity discourses reproduce the social order by affirming the social categories that the representatives of diversity are assumed to embody. It closes with a discussion of some practical and theoretical implications of its findings.

Larsson, P., Gundhus, H.O.I. & Granér, R. (Red.). (2014). Innføring i politivitenskap. Oslo: Cappelen Damm Dette er den første nordiske innføringsboka i politivitenskap. Boka tar sikte på å bringe både politiutdanningen og politiet et skritt nærmere vitenskapelig forskning. Bokas første del tar for seg forskning på politiets historie, kontroll og styring av politiet samt rettslige aspekter ved politiarbeidet. Andre del diskuterer hvem politiet er og hva som karakteriserer politiets yrkeskultur. Tredje del belyser hva politiet faktisk gjør og ser nærmere på sentrale temaer innenfor forebygging og politiavhør. Siste del drøfter det vanskelige politiarbeidet, polisiær virksomhet utenfor politiet og framtidens politi. Boka viser at politiarbeid sjelden bygger på vitenskapelig basert kunnskap eller evalueringer av hva som fungerer, men i stor grad på det man antar virker og på hva som er politisk eller på andre vis opportunt. Innføring i politivitenskap henvender seg først og fremst til politistudenter, men også til andre interesserte praktikere og akademikere som er nysgjerrige på forskning på politiet.

Oslo: Universitetsforlaget PHS Norges presentation: Boken belyser politiets arbeid med familievold fra ulike perspektiver, og er særlig aktuell for alle som har vold i nære relasjoner som en del av sitt arbeidsfelt, som politiet, krisesentre, barnevernet og bistandsadvokater, forteller førsteamanuensis Geir Aas om publikasjonen. Om boken sies det: «Familievolden er i løpet av det siste tiåret tydelig plassert på den politiske dagsordenen, og politiet er den offentlige aktøren som tillegges hovedansvaret for håndteringen av dette samfunnsproblemet. Denne boken belyser politiets arbeid med familievold fra ulike vinkler. Her kommer både voldsutsatte på krisesentrene, barnevernsansatte og politiutøvere til orde. Bokens innhold bygger på et arbeid som dannet kunnskapsgrunnlag for Stortingsmelding 15 «Forebygging og bekjempelse av vold i nære relasjoner», og omfatter et stort datamateriale. I boken, som er publisert gjennom Univeristetsforlaget, presenteres dette i tre deler: Del 1 handler om de voldsutsattes egne opplevelser med politiets arbeid, del 2 om organiseringen av arbeidet og del 3 om anmeldte familievoldssakers videre skjebne.» http://www.phs.no/om-phs/nyheter/geir-aas-ute-med-ny-bok/ Svensk polis: pusselbiten som inte passar in. Wennström, B. (2014). Svensk polis: pusselbiten som inte passar in. Stockholm: Jure. Ur förlagets presentation: Alla klagar på polisen. Justitieministern har uttryckt sin besvikelse. Rikspolischefen har ägnat sig år självspäkning. Politikerna talar i katastroftermer: Polisen presterar för dåligt! En fråga ställs gång på gång, varför går det inte att styra Polisen? Räddningen har från politiskt håll ansetts vara en omorganisation. En ny polisorganisation ska ge förutsättningar för att lösa dagens problem, heter det. Det märkliga var bara att omorganisationen bestämdes innan de tre grundläggande frågorna, ”vad”, ”hur” och ”vem” angående polisverksamhet ställdes. 2015 införs den nya polisorganisationen. Det mesta tyder på att ännu en kris för Polisen väntar runt hörnet. I denna bok tas de grundläggande frågorna om polisiär verksamhet på allvar. Det görs genom en serie intervjuer med politiker, poliser, statstjänstemän och företrädare för säkerhetsbranschen och ideella krafter. Långsamt framträder en annan bild en den som brukar ges om orsakerna till vad som sägs vara krisen i Svensk polis. De som klagar mest, politik och statsförvaltningen, bär själva ett tungt ansvar för situationen. De senaste regeringarna har satsat oerhört på Polisen. De har haft sina grova mål om 20 000 poliser. Det har egentligen aldrig fattats pengar. Däremot har det fattats politik. Vilket lett till en politisk tystnad angående de svåraste frågorna som har skapat utrymme för andra att agera. Administrationen har flyttat fram positionerna. Det kamerala perspektivet har fått ta överhanden. I boken beskrivs vad som krävs för att ta frågor om trygghet och brott på allvar. Till att börja med krävs ett fungerande ramverk för hela det ”polisära” området som inkluderar organisationen Polisen men också säkerhetsbransch, kommuner och frivilliga. Först då kan pusselbiten svensk polis förmås att passa in i samhällspusslet. http://www.jure.se/ns/default.asp?url=visatitel.asp?tuid=19861 Politiets Efterretningstjeneste – mellem tillid og kontrol Greve, E. B. (2014). Politiets Efterretningstjeneste - En retlig belysning af tjenestens virksomhed og det samlede kontrolsystem. København: DJØFs Forlag. Forlagets præsentation: Bogen er den første juridiske undersøgelse af både PET's virksomhed og det samlede kontrolsystem. Efterretningstjenester har altid haft ry for at være de demokratiske samfunds problembørn, da tjenesterne ofte lever et mere eller mindre løsrevet liv fra den øvrige forvaltning og i vidt omfang er undtaget den almindelige kontrol. Reguleringen af Politiets Efterretnings tjeneste skal derfor sikre befolkningens tillid, at tjenesten kan løse sine opgaver effektivt, at den enkelte borgers retssikkerhed ikke krænkes og tjenestens demokratiske legitimitet ikke forsvinder. Derfor er det nødvendigt at behandle henholdsvis reguleringen af PET's virksomhed og reguleringen af kontrollen med tjenesten, for at kunne belyse sammenhængen mellem tjenestens virksomhed og kontrolmulighederne. http://www.djoef-forlag.dk/da/boeger/p/politiets-efterretningstjeneste Blekingegade kommissionen har afgivet sin beretning Kommissionen har haft til opgave at undersøge og redegøre for, om Justitsministeriet, Politiets Efterretningstjeneste (PET) eller andre relevante centrale myndigheder modvirkede det almindelige politis og anklagemyndighedens opklaring og strafforfølgning af de strafbare forhold, herunder drabet på en politibetjent i 1988, som i den offentlige debat er blevet forbundet med den gruppe af personer, der blev kendt som Blekingegadebanden. Kommissionen konkluderer i sin beretning, at hverken PET, Justitsministeriet eller andre centrale myndigheder har modvirket det almindelige politis og anklagemyndighedens efterforskning og strafforfølgning.

(2014). Stockholm: Brottsförebyggande rådet Ur Brå:s presentation De som vistas på Stureplan och Medborgarplatsen är positiva till de övervakningskameror som Polisen har satt upp i områdena, men kamerorna har hittills inte hjälpt Polisen att förebygga och klara upp brott i någon större utsträckning. Det visar en utvärdering som Brottsförebyggande rådet (Brå) publicerar. För två år sedan inledde Polismyndigheten i Stockholms län ett försök med kameraövervakning på Stureplan och Medborgarplatsen. Tillståndet gäller i tre år från det att kamerorna tas i bruk, därefter måste Polisen ansöka om förlängning. Ett krav för förlängning är att försöket utvärderas. Brå utvärderar kameraförsöket i tre delrapporter; en efter varje år som kamerorna varit i bruk. Detta är den andra delrapporten och i den beskrivs: hur personer som vistas på platserna upplever dem (jämför med hur de upplevde dem för ett år sedan) hur brottsutvecklingen på platserna sett ut de senaste åren hur Polisen har arbetat med kamerorna hur användbart material från kamerorna har varit i utredningar.

(Red). Ekonomisk brottslighet. Lund: Studentlitteratur Förlagets presentation: Ekonomisk brottslighet är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem. Skattebrott och annan ekonomisk brottslighet orsakar ekonomiska skador i västvärlden som är 17 till 20 gånger högre än för traditionella brott. Finansiella brott och bedrägerier minskar dessutom tilliten mellan individer. Återkommande opinionsundersökningar i Västeuropa och USA visar att allmänheten känner en ökad grad av främlingskap till samhällsordningen på grund av den ekonomiska brottsligheten, inte minst för att brottsligheten angriper den finansiella grunden för samhällets institutioner. Denna bok samlar exempel på betydande nordisk forskning om ekonomisk brottslighet från tidigt 1940-tal till i dag. De olika bidragen handlar om hur ekonomisk brottslighet bör definieras, hur utbredd brottsligheten är, vilka datakällor forskare använder sig av och vad vi vet om den ekonomiske brottslingen. Till det kommer reglering och bekämpningsstrategier. Sammantaget vill boken visa att den nordiska forskningen om ekonomisk brottslighet håller hög kvalité i en internationell jämförelse. Den fyller även ett viktigt bidrag i att lyfta fram nordiska förhållanden, vilket oftast inte uppmärksammas internationellt, samt den särpräglade forskning som bedrivs i norden.

Politiets operative lederideal: En kvalitativ studie om rekrutteringsprosesser i ordenspolitiet. (Master i styring og ledelse). Oslo: Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus. Sammendrag: De siste års rapporter om offentlig forvaltning generelt, og politiet spesielt – og senest med Politianalysen, har avdekket et behov for grunnleggende endringer i holdninger, lederskap og kultur. Det gjelder både i offentlig forvaltning og i politiet. Forskning på lederrekruttering i politiet er et lite omhandlet fagfelt. Det gjør en slik oppgave spennende og interessant sett i lys av de over nevnte behov. Per i dag finnes det ingen krav til hvem som kan bli ledere i politiet, og det er ingen nasjonal plan for utvikling av politiledere. I følge Politianalysen medfører denne mangelen på systematikk at dyktige og talentfulle politifolk som vil-‐ og bør-‐ bli ledere, ikke utvikles. Sett i sammenheng med en personlig interesse for rekrutteringsfeltet, samt god kjennskap til og kunnskap om politiet, har forfatteren utledet følgende problemstilling: ”Hvilken betydning har formelle og uformelle prosesser for utvelgelse av operative politiledere?”. For å besvare problemstillingen er ledelses-‐ og polititeori, med politikultur-‐ og legitimitet som en sentral del. Forfatteren har intervjuet syv ordenssjefer ved ordensavsnitt i politidistrikt i Sør-‐Norge. Blant hovedfunnene fremkommer det at ordenssjefene er suverene i å rekruttere divisjonsledere og forme ordensavsnittene etter eget ønske. Dette uten at en nasjonal eller distriktsplan ligger i bunn. Ansettelsesrådene omgjør i liten grad innstillingene som blir presentert. Politibetjenter som blir ansett for å være personlig egnet plasseres inn i midlertidige stillinger som politiførstebetjenter. Det gir dem et klart fortrinn når stillingene skal formaliseres. Dette medfører, slik blant annet Politianalysen oppsummerer, at andre dyktige og talentfulle politifolk ikke gis muligheten til en karriere som leder. I alle fall ikke i ordenspolitiet. En ytterligere effekt av denne rekrutteringen er blant annet vedlikeholdet av konformiteten i den enkelte avdelingen.

(2012) Seleksjonsprosesser i statlige disiplinære organisasjoner. En studie av i hvilken grad Forsvaret, politiet og kriminalomsorgen selekterer med bakgrunn i kandidatens kompetanse. Mastergradsoppgave i ledelse og organisasjonsvitenskap, universitetet i Tromsø Fra sammendraget Hensikten med denne oppgaven har vært å undersøke hvordan statlige disiplinære organisasjoner vurderer kompetansen til kandidater som søker på stillinger. Vi har også undersøkt om de fremgangsmåter og verktøy som blir brukt er beskrevet i kompetansestrategiene til virksomhetene, og om organisasjonene har noe å lære av hverandre. For å kunne gi et svar på dette, har vi formulert følgende problemstilling: Hvilke fremgangsmåter og verktøy bruker statlige disiplinære organisasjoner for å vurdere kompetansen til de aktuelle kandidatene når de skal ansette en medarbeider? I hvilken grad inngår disse fremgangsmåtene og verktøyene i kompetansestrategien til organisasjonene, og i hvilken grad har eventuelle forskjeller mellom de undersøkte organisasjonene overføringsverdi? Denne masteroppgaven er basert på bruken av kvalitative metoder når vi har samlet inn data for å belyse problemstillingen. Vi har gjennomført dokumentstudier av skriftlige kilder for å finne data som kan bidra til å gi svar på problemstillingen, og vi har studert aktuell litteratur om kompetanse. I tillegg har det blitt gjennomført dybdeintervjuer av informanter fra Forsvaret, politiet og kriminalomsorgen, for å få klarhet i hvordan de tar hensyn til kompetanse når de gjennomfører sine seleksjonsprosesser. Vi har analysert intervjuene og dokumentstudiene, og deretter systematisert resultatene etter de spørsmålene vi stiller i problemstillingen. Oppgaven konkluderer med at Forsvaret, politiet og kriminalomsorgen benytter seg av noen verktøy og metoder for å vurdere kompetansen til aktuelle kandidater, men at det finnes muligheter til å benytte seg av flere. Vi finner at noen verktøy er beskrevet i kompetansestrategiene til virksomhetene, og vi vurderer at etatene bør kunne overføre erfaringer seg imellom innen visse deler av seleksjonsarbeidet. http://munin.uit.no/bitstream/handle/10037/4594/thesis.pdf?sequence=2 Norsk master om politiets brug av hunder Henriksen Glasø Karin (2014) ”Patruljehunden” En studie av hundeførerens politioperative skjønn i en kulturell kontekst. Masteroppgave i kriminologi, Institutt for kriminologi og rettssosiologi. Det juridiske fakultet.Oslo Universitet Abstract The legalised use of force by the police is a recurrent topic for discussion, both in the media in general and in various research communities in particular. While several of the physical means of force used by the police have been subjected to research, ranking and regulation beyond section 6 of the Police Act, which is the general legal rule governing the use of force by the police, the police dog leads a sheltered life with little focus from others than those nearest to it. Against that background, this thesis raises the questions: Which factors are significant for the dog handler s exercise of discretion, and how may these affect the balance between legality and efficiency? What significance does the field culture have on practical performance? I have tried to answer these questions based on 12 interviews and 78 hours of observation of dog handlers in operational police service, in addition to a number of legal documents. Using Bourdieu s theoretical concepts of field, capital and habitus, I have attempted to grasp the dog handlers perspectives and perceptions of the relationship between the field culture, themselves and discretionary assessments. In addition, my own observation has enabled me to interpret and form an opinion about possible factors and norms that are important for the dog handler s everyday operational discretion. The thesis discusses how different factors linked to the dog and dog handler s personality, training, experiences and expectations, may affect the dog handler s exercise of discretion. The thesis shows how the legal principles for the use of force by the police are central to how the dog handler balances between legality and efficiency. It also discusses how the dog handler s role as a specialised generalist both shapes and is shaped by the culture in which he operates, and how experience, which appears to be the dog handler s most important capital, is transferred in the practical internal interaction between the dog handlers. The use of police dogs is not regulated by regulations or legislation, apart from section 6 of the Police Act. Nor is the police dog as an instrument of force included in the police use of force continuum, but it is nonetheless, in legal theory, defined as the second most lethal weapon after firearms. The wording of section 6 of the Police Act is general, thus providing much scope for interpretation. How the dog handler operates in the balancing act between efficiency and legality in everyday work largely appears to be a matter for his personal discretion, and is possibly developed and consolidated through collaboration with colleagues. This may lead to large national variations in how discretion is exercised, based on differences in local culture, available competence and networks for the individual dog handler. There is broad consensus among the dog handlers in my material that working with a police dog is contextual and that more rules do not necessarily ensure better practice. They maintain that detailed rules do not necessarily lead to good discretion, and that the overarching principles may be lost. The dog handlers do not find the discretion onerous but emphasise that the free reins provided by their exercise of discretion is legitimised by their having a thorough knowledge of the rules and that they must themselves be capable of placing their dog within the scope of this discretion. A major find seems to be how the dog handler s local place of work is responsible for the use of the police dog in the tactical field of armed operations. The thesis does not discuss whether the dog should be used or how, if it is used. However, empirical data show that the police dog is used in operations requiring armed force, but without overarching guidelines designed to ensure a national uniform performance. As the role of the police dog is perceived as being not very specifically defined, it is the dog handler who must personally communicate his competence both horizontally and vertically within the police organisation so that the expectations of others harmonise with the dog handler s perception of what constitutes good discretion.

Police University College Review 2014. Police University College Finland, reports 112). Summary The first 'Police's operating environment' review by the Police University College was published as an extensive symposium of articles in 2012. The 2014 review establishes and refines the monitoring and forecasting of the operating environment initiated earlier. The review comprises more than 30 articles based on research and statistics, other source material and expert information. The authors represent the Police University College, other universities and research institutions, the police administration and other areas of administration. The framework for the review is provided by the division of the research fields of the Police University College: Police Work and Organisation, Policing, and Police in Society. These sections are preceded by a chapter describing the preconditions of policing, which discusses the topical challenges of police administration and legislative changes. The chapter also reviews the state of the public economy, immigration statistics and long-term trends in crime. The chapter on police work and organisation reviews the research data and development activities related to the police as well as the education reform and the effectiveness of training. Other themes include the changes in police organisations in Western Europe and Russia, police strategy in Finland and occupational welfare and empowering leadership in the police. The section on policing starts with an analysis of the quality of pretrial investigation, the pre-trial investigation of violence against children and road policing. Cooperation in policing is discussed in the articles on the cooperation between the police, customs and the border guard (PCB), illegal immigration and the prevention of environmental crimes. The section on technology presents the motives of cyber threats, the preparedness of the police to use mobile technology and the utilisation of social media in crisis situations. The chapter on the police in society first reviews the increasing global significance of data networks, issues of overall state security and regional security activities in the Tampere region. An assessment of trust in the police sheds light on the perspectives of citizens and the media. The other reviews focus on corruption and gambling as well as drug crime in Russia and Finland. The review ends with a summary of the key conclusions of the articles and their intersecting themes. The review as a whole forms a broad-based analysis of the production of research and expert information on the police now and in the near future. It serves the needs of police training and the development of policing and internal security in a variety of ways.

En studie av polisstudenters kritiska förhållningssätt i deras självständiga arbeten. Magisteruppsats. Växjö/ Kalmar: Linnéuniversitetet Abstract This master’s essay presents a study designed to investigate twelve police students’ability to handle academic writing conventions and to show critical-analytical competence in their degree projects, which are written as part of the education at Sweden’s three police academies. The education of police officers is not an academic one, and the students’ main focus is therefore on writing texts in the field of police discourse. At the same time, scientific principles and critical thinking are emphasized in their syllabus, but the question of how students handle the encounter with academic discourse has so far not been investigated. This, therefore, is the aim of the present study. The texts have been analyzed according to the academic writing conventions of referencing, citation, hedging and boosting. By studying how these conventions are applied, the writers’ stances become visible, which makes it possible to discern in what ways they remain critical-analytical to person, theory and content. The study shows that police students can handle academic writing conventions to varying degrees, which means that their texts differ in how well they function in an academic context. The fact that they do not fully master these conventions also makes it more difficult for the students to signal a critical stance, and only occasionally does their critical-analytical competence show. The difficulties displayed by the police students can thus be viewed as general within the field of academic discourse. At the same time, the study shows that the students do acquire a certain competence in textual as well as writing conventions, which they are able to transfer from police discourse. This, in turn, constitutes the didactic consequence of the study. If this were to be brought up as part of the educational program, the writing of a degree project might raise police students’awareness of different genres and further develop the competence necessary in their profession.

Tampere: Poliisiammattikorkeakoulu. Abstract Environmental crime is largely hidden crime whose supervision and prevention require co-operation between several different authorities. If carried out efficiently, co-operation between authorities may prevent environmental crime. This study analysed the state of supervision and prevention of environmental crime in Finland. The present state was explored from the authorities’ perspective: what is the co-operation process like between different authorities? What kinds of challenges have the authorities faced in the supervision and prevention process? The study focused on co-operation between the Centre of Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, environmental supervisory authorities in municipalities, the police and prosecutors. In all, 24 officials were interviewed during spring 2013: eight police officers, five officials from the Centre of Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, seven officials from municipalities and four prosecutors. All of them were located in the Uusimaa region in Southern Finland. Co-operation was defined in this study as a multi-professional process whose content and meaning are constructed in the interaction between authorities. Based on previous research literature, the process was analysed from several perspectives: operations models, information exchange and flow, ways of co-operating, financial resources, the grey area of environmental crime, preventive effect of environmental criminal law, professional identity and professional cultures. The findings suggest that the co-operation process between authorities was person-related and case-specific. The supervision and prevention of environmental crime has improved during the last few years. On the other hand, officials had fairly little experience of co-operation since the annual number of suspected environmental offences is low. Operations models were influenced by personal views of the seriousness of the offence as well as the professional cultures of the officials: police officers defined the ‘reason to doubt’ threshold; the supervisory authorities were more concerned about how to restore the legal state. The legislation was considered to be relatively difficult, and its interpretations significantly influenced the authority response. The co-operation between environmental supervisory authorities and the police started mainly from the request for preliminary investigation. Due to scarce financial resources, there was a clear need for prioritising duties. The financial resources allocated to supervision influenced the opportunity of the supervisory authority to report the suspected environmental offence to the police. At the same time, police officers recognised the insufficiency of their resources if more suspected environmental offences were reported to the police. The biggest challenge in information exchange was the role of the municipal environmental supervisory authority. As the plaintiff of environmental offences is the Centre of Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, the officials in municipalities are not officially recognised as part of the criminal procedure, even though they may have requested the preliminary investigation in the first place. The challenges in information exchange diminished the trust between authorities and made co-operation demanding. Unofficial communication and meetings between officials clearly made the boundaries between authorities lower and made it easier for officials to find shared interests and goals. http://www.polamk.fi/poliisi/poliisioppilaitos/home.nsf/pages/0D3CC06806044C13C2257A1 E00370173?opendocument Environmental Crimes in Finland and in Sweden Sahramäki, Iina & Kankaanranta, Terhi (2014) Vihreämpää rajan toisella puolella?: vertaileva tutkimus ympäristörikollisuuden torjunnasta ja tutkinnasta Suomessa ja Ruotsissa. Tampere: Poliisiammattikorkeakoulu Abstract Each year, fewer than 500 suspected environmental offences, as specified in Chapter 48 of the Criminal Code, come to the attention of the police in Finland. This figure is often compared with the number of environmental offences reported to the police in Sweden. The annual number of suspected environmental offences in accordance with the Swedish Environmental Code that come to the attention of the preliminary investigation authorities in Sweden is 4,000–6,000. The number of hidden crimes has been assessed to be significant in both countries. This report surveys the differences and similarities between Finland and Sweden with the goal of developing the prevention and investigation of environmental crime in Finland. The report sets out also to answer the question: how can the prevention of environmental crime be developed in Finland on the basis of the results of the comparison? The material under comparison includes statistics, legislation, the results of earlier studies as well as discussions between the researcher and authorities. The report compares Finland and Sweden’s institutional structure and legislation for the prevention of environmental crime. The expertise of the authorities in the prevention of environmental crime is also analysed. Legislation is addressed from the viewpoint of environmental criminal law, crime statistics, preliminary investigation reports and sanctions. In Sweden, environmental criminalisation and other environmental legislation are compiled in the Environmental Code, which entered into force in 1999. Sweden’s Environmental Code obligates the environmental supervisory authorities to report all suspected environmental offences to the preliminary investigation authorities. There is no similar obligation in Finland; the Environmental Protection Act provides the supervisory authorities with discretionary power subject to certain conditions. The administrative and criminal sanctions are fairly similar in both countries. The greatest difference is in determining administrative sanctions and imposing a corporate fine. The majority of environmental offenders are sentenced to a fine in both countries. In this report, the institutional structure is the model used by the state to organise prevention and investigation. Key aspects of the structure include the supervision of compliance with the environmental legislation, organisation of the police and prosecutor and the perspective of co-operation. In Finland, the police are in charge of investigations. The Swedish Police has approx. 70 environmental and working environment crime investigators nationally; in Finland, environmental crime is mainly investigated as part of daily investigations or white-collar crime investigations. In Finland, five persons act as key environmental crime prosecutors in addition to their other duties. The Swedish Prosecutor’s Office has a team of 20 environmental and working environment crime prosecutors, which is responsible for the prosecution of environmental crime and is in charge of investigations nationally. In this context, expertise refers to the training received by the police in environmental crime investigation. In Sweden, environmental crime investigators complete a 12-credit study module at Uppsala University. In addition, they have the opportunity to take an advanced course worth 1.5 credits. In Finland, police officers investigating environmental crime may take an annual course worth 2 credits. The course is particularly intended for the officers in charge of investigations. http://www.polamk.fi/poliisi/poliisioppilaitos/home.nsf/pages/0D3CC06806044C13C2257A1 E00370173?opendocument Finnish guide: A Child as a Complainant during a Criminal Process Tuominen, Mia 2014 Lapsen edunvalvonta Poliisiammattikorkeakoulu. esitutkinnan näkökulmasta. Tampere: Abstract When a child becomes as a complainant during a criminal process, he or she encounters issues which might be too complicated for a child to understand. If child’s father or mother or both parents are suspected of a crime committed against the child there is no one to guard child’s interests. Therefore a guardian should be appointed to protect child’s interests. The legal base for guardianship and to all questions related to that is multidimensional. The provisions regarding supervision of child’s interests are laid down in the Child Welfare Act and in the Guardianship Services Act. However, applying those provisions in the criminal process has caused a variety of practices used in the police departments which cannot be considered as child’s best interest. This guide has been targeted to provide answers to those frequently need a guardian during the criminal process. The aim of this guide is to describe those problems and give answers to questions so that practices applied in the police departments would be as coherent as possible.

The Pirkanmaa Safety and Security Cluster is a local response to this challenge on a regional scale. It consists of a framework for combining skills, knowledge, situational awareness and practice, as well as insights and visions for the future from different authorities and organizations. A missing link in its work however has been the third sector. This research project aims to contribute to their involvement in this joint effort and to investigate the conditions conducive to their participation. The first task in this action research was to identify the relevant third sector players in the region. The second was to figure out how regional safety and security work might benefit from their knowledge, skills, and capabilities, and what role the third sector parties could play, and what it would take to make such a role available for them. The data was collected from the third sector through direct interviews, discussions at various events and seminars related to this project, and by conducting a survey on the current members of the steering group of the Pirkanmaa Safety and Security Cluster. It turned out that there are a large number of third sector organizations and players in the Pirkanmaa region that are both willing and capable of increasing their involvement in the development of regional safety and security. The third sector is also seen as a true contributor and partner in the current, more comprehensive concept of safety and security. Their involvement is expected to bring fresh, value-based insights and ideas, constructive criticism, as well as new perspectives, networks and resources, thus enabling a wider basis for cooperation on safety and security. Joining forces requires regular, well-coordinated and well planned cooperation. A positive sign is that there already seems to be an agreed need for the development of mutual cooperation and that common intent already exists - arguably the most important conditions for accomplishing anything jointly. Close co-operation requires proper attitudes, mutual respect, and effective platforms for the collaboration. The first step in this direction was taken, when a representative from a third sector organization was nominated to the steering group of the Pirkanmaa Safety and Security Network. Furthermore, the steering group decided to establish a new learning network later this year, calling on the participants from the third sector to participate in this joint effort in combining forces and capabilities for the better safety and security for everyone in the Pirkanmaa region. The aim is also to encourage third sector players to promote themselves as an important element in regional work for safety and security worthy of public recognition, to enlarge the scope of discussion within the cluster, and to put forward important themes revealed in this research project. http://www.polamk.fi/poliisi/poliisioppilaitos/home.nsf/pages/0D3CC06806044C13C2257A1 E00370173?opendocument Två rapporter om rocker- og bandekriminalitet i Danmark Rigspolitiet (2014) Rockere og bander 2013.

(2014) Humorns funktion i polisarbete. Nordisk Politiforskning Nr 1 2014, 9-23 Summary The purpose of this text is to discuss the function of police humour, especially in the group of patrolling policemen. The discussion is primarily based on a literature study combined with data from qualitative interviews and participant observations. Basically «joking relationships» are considered a form of play which gives the individuals involved a relative freedom from responsibility. In terms of dealing with frustration with work including resistance against authorities, internal joking can be considered a form of parenthesis behaviour, i.e. it expresses parts of the personality that are suppressed through demands of authoritative and correct behaviour in the outer world. Joking can be seen as a form of diversion, partly through making distance to anxiety provoking situations, partly through rejecting aggressive situations to more neutral ones. Furthermore joking is a way to devalue the world around, to idealize the police collective in order to relieve feelings of guilt, and enhance emotions of moral superiority. In terms of internal relationship joking can be seen as ways of strengthen group cohesion. This is done by marking a boundary to different outgroups. Humour can be a way of establishing norms and giving sanctions for non-accepted behaviours, to investigate what is accepted in the group, to express feedback, to deal with conflicts, distribution of power and status and a mean of socialisation of new members.

Nordisk Politiforskning Nr 1 2014, 24-40 Summary The paper discusses possibilities and problems for police research in the nordic countries. Nordic police research is increasing in volume, but it is still dominated by works originating in norway and sweden. A number of threats to future research are defined, among them close ties between police and researchers and the desire from police management to direct research and control it’s output. It is argued that participant observation of the police is getting increasingly difficult to carry out due to overly restrictive ethical considerations. Furthermore, an increasing focus on «what works» may guide researchers away from posing more fundamental questions about the relation between police and society. The paper concludes with the observation that almost all police research in the nordic countries is undertaken by researchers from the same countries as the police forces studied. It is suggested that an increased focus on comparative research may bring new insights.

Summary: Normalizing the abnormal This article deals with some aspects concerning the use of police methods known under many names. These methods is often said to be new, even if most of them have a long history, as untraditional or extraordinary, hidden, secret and deceptive methods of intelligence, investigation, surveillance or even crime prevention. The main questions analyzed in the text is how does these methods affect policing and the police role in modern societies. What do we know about the effects of these methods, not only on crime, but also on the society and the justice system? The challenges and necessity in relation to research and scientific knowledge on secrete and deceptive methods are raised in the last sections of article. «What once occurred infrequently and was viewed with disdain as a characteristic pf continental despotism is now routine administrative practice.» (Fijnaut og Marx, 1995 s. 14).

Nordisk Politiforskning Nr 1 2014, 58-81 Summary Domestic violence is especially challenging for the police to deal with precisely because these crimes occur in close relationships. The proximity between the victim and the perpetrator represents a problem for the police at a number of levels. Violent relationships may have been going on for years without anyone knowing about it. In order to make a criminal case the police often have to penetrate a wall of shame, guilt and close ties to the perpetrator. It is also challenging for the police to deal with a tragic, complex and sometimes confusing life story, and simultaneously document and transform it into a written report as a basis for a criminal case. It is well documented that the police experience powerlessness, frustration and despair in dealing with family conflicts, which probably can be traced to lack of knowledge and understanding of this reality. Should the police therefore classify domestic violence as a special field? Domestic violence as a discipline is already specialized to some extent in the police organizations – particularly through the system of family-violence coordinators, domestic violence contacts and specialized investigation teams at some police stations in Norway. In addition the police have also developed some problem-oriented projects like the “Drammen-project” (especially directed against abuse in minority communities) and the SARA-project (Spousal Assault Risk Assessment guide). One danger of further specialization is however that only a few police officers will dear to handle this field. The number of domestic violence incidents reported to the police annually is so large that any police officer must be able to handle them in a satisfactory manner.

The act brings big changes to the structure and content of the training provided at the Police University College but also to its research and development functions. Research results With regard to the Police University College’s most recent publications, the spotlight is on collaboration between the Police, the Finnish Customs and the Border Guard as well as the prevention and monitoring of environmental crime. The list of other publications includes analyses on topics such as hate crime and regional safety and security. Project news: Review of EU funding and new projects Project planning is in progress with a view to applying for funding under the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme. The Police University College can participate in the projects in the capacity of a research centre or as an end user. New research projects have started in fields such as social media as well as money laundering and terrorist financing. http://polamk.fi/poliisi/poliisioppilaitos/home.nsf/files/D0A0CCA4E58E4EE1C2257D31004 2C484/$file/research%20review%202014_1.pdf Collaboration Between the Police and Other Authorities in Finland Niemi, Jenni; Sahramäki, Iina & Jukarainen, Pirjo (2014) Information-sharing in interorganizational collaboration between the police and other authorities in Finland. European Journal of Policing Studies. - 1 (4), 320-338 Summary Due to the complexity of crime phenomena and crime control, the extent and importance of collaboration and strategic partnership between security actors has notably increased during the last decades. These changes pose challenges to the police organization and management. This joint paper of three individual research projects discusses collaboration between the police and other authorities in Finland within these contemporary type of inter-organizational networks. The data was in each case collected via thematic interviews of the police and various other authorities. The focus is on information exchange. We analyse factors that promote information sharing, as well as factors that hinder it. We also consider the communication practices from the viewpoint of more profound collaboration and knowledge creation. Our research shows that police officers consider interorganizational collaboration as a substantial part of today’s crime prevention, but the change in policing is still on-going. The collaboration between the police and other authorities is still largely based on concrete actions and specific cases. Deeper collaboration and knowledge creation on larger issues mostly takes place at the managerial level. In the future, a challenge is to bring knowledge creation practices into local collaboration and planning of concrete actions. Three individual studies enable a wide examination of inter-organizational collaboration in crime control. Focus on information exchange from the police point of view sheds light on the practices of everyday policing. The examples are from the Finnish police, but the results on mechanisms of collaboration can be applied to police work in other countries as well. http://www.academia.edu/7159746/European_Journal_of_Policing_Studies_vl1_issue_4 Russian and Somali Minorities Distrust of the Police in Helsinki: Kääriäinen Juha, Niemi Jenni (2014) Distrust of the Police in a Nordic Welfare State: Victimization, Discrimination, and Trust in the Police by Russian and Somali Minorities in Helsinki. Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice. - 12 (1), 4-24 Summary This study focuses on the trust in the police of the Russian and Somali minorities living in Finland. Three hypotheses are tested: First, we study whether the level of trust can be explained by experienced insecurity, fear and victimisation. The second approach is analysing whether the trust can be explained by the immigrants´ personal experiences on police behaviour. Thirdly, we analyse the connection between trust and experienced discrimination. In the latter case, the reasons behind the distrust are not sought from police activities alone, but also from the position of the minorities in the society and from individual experiences that reflect this position. The article is based on the Finnish data of the EU-MIDIS -survey. According to our results, the Russians trust in the police can be explained primarily with the instrumental approach. On the other hand, all three abovedescribed approaches can be applied to the Somali minority. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15377938.2013.819059?journalCode=wecj20#. U_3VDP4cTIU Action Research With or Without the Approval of Top Management Holgersson S. & Melin U. Pragmatic Dilemmas in Action Research: Doing Action Research With or Without the Approval of Top Management? Systemic Practice and Action Research March 2014 Abstract This article problematizes a basic assumption that action research should be conducted in terms of acceptance by management. The importance of approval from the responsible stakeholders at the work practice, which is the subject of action research, has traditionally been emphasized in action research literature. External pressure can constrain an organisation to initiate and fulfil different types of needs for change. In this article we address the question of whether it is appropriate to accomplish action research in a way that creates pressure on an organisation to act. If the public risks suffering as a result of an organisation′s inability or unwillingness to identify and rectify serious problems, there are strong arguments to answer “yes” to this question. This answer is particularly relevant when it comes to governmental organisations. The public has a legitimate requirement that tax-financed organisations should be well-functioning. This article illustrates how action research can put pressure on a work practice, and discusses the problems and challenges of this type of research design. An important contribution to action research literature based on this article is that it shows that the dilemma in action research of balancing practice interests and those of science is not just about dealing with a dual agenda. The interest of the practice interests is multi-faceted. This article points at the relationship between action research and principles for conducting critical research in information systems. Practical implications that can be drawn based on this article are for example that it clarifies the challenge of different considerations that may be eligible in action research. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11213-014-9316-1 A Practice Theory Analysis of Police and Doctors Lindberg Ola; Rantatalo Oscar (2014) Competence in professional practice: A practice theory analysis of police and doctors. Human Relations June 30, 2014 Abstract This article outlines a theoretical understanding of competence as the inferred potential for desirable activity within a professional practice. By employing the concept of ‘teleoaffective structure’ as developed in Schatzki’s practice theory, our study investigates how notions of competent and excellent professionals are defined in two separate practices in which highly qualified professionals share formal qualifications. The study is comparative and based on a total of 39 interviews carried out in the Swedish National Police Counter-Terrorist Unit (police) and with recruiters of medical interns (doctors) in Swedish healthcare. Results indicate that, despite obvious differences between the professional groups in the study, some remarkable similarities are apparent in what are regarded as high levels of competence. Surprisingly, technical expertise was downplayed as an indicator of high levels of competence in both practices. The professional groups emphasized flexibility, drive/ambition and social competence, as well as the ability to balance between being highly capable and being humble before others, including other groups of professionals as characteristics of excellence. Based on the results, the authors discuss a ‘logic of excellence’ that can be used to describe mechanisms of competence differentiation in professional practices from a practice theory perspective.

Bl.a. ingår Per Jørgen Ystehede “Two Suspicious Persons: Norwegian Narratives and Images of a Police Murder Case, 1926–1950” … examines the murder of two police officers in western Norway in 1926. The case remained relevant beyond the late 1920s: a book published on it in 1933 is considered to be one of the first “true crime” novels in Norway. A film version was produced in 1949, but was subsequently banned for half a century. Not only was the murder itself a cause célèbre that captured the interest of the interwar Norwegian press, but the media images of the killers reflected fears of foreignness, anxieties related to Norway’s recently achieved independence, and the influence of “expert” criminological knowledge.

Policing and public health are both more effective when they are developed and operate in partnership – a critical partnership long in tradition but often neglected in practice. The LEPH Conferences confront this neglect by bringing together police, public health practitioners, academics and policy makers to examine, review, assess, share and learn from each other. LEPH2014 will present a multi-focused Conference Program that will address three main areas: Substantive issues - all the particular public health and social issues in which the police-public health partnership is important Organisational issues - how to best achieve optimal and sustainable partnerships and collaboration Reflection and methodological issues - creating a science of the public health and law enforcement intersection Conference topics: Disability: policing and People with Disabilities Road trauma: impacts of road policing on public health Mental health: special challenges for policing Public health as crime prevention Policing and Public Health: the research, education and training agenda Alcohol regulation: regulation for health and public order Vulnerability, policing and public health issues Policing and HIV Violence: the Unsafe City and other violence prevention The Developing World Migrant, Refugee, Minority and Indigenous health Police leadership in public health responses http://www.lephcon.com.au/ Applied Research in Crime and Justice Conference Sydney Dockside Function Centre, Darling Harbour, Sydney18-19 February 2015 The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research is convening our second biennial conference on applied research in crime and criminal justice.
