Juan Salgado, Mexico
Rights-based Approach to Criminality and Violence Prevention
Departing from a civil-rights perspective, the paper analyzes the potential of three police reform processes in
Brazil, Colombia and Mexico (2002-2013) to promote crime and violence prevention, focusing on the
strategies to launch police-citizen partnerships.
After comparing the scope and limitations of the three cases, the paper delves into the intricacies to identify
and harness local capacities for crime and violence prevention considering the duties of citizen security
decision makers and police officers in the three countries regarding civil rights: to respect, to protect and to
fulfill. The conclusions draw lessons learned for centralized (Colombia) and federal administrations (Brazil and
Mexico).
Peter Versteegh & Rene Hesseling, The Netherlands
The B3W Matrix: managing a more effective way to tackle residential burglary
Taking action against residential burglaries is an important priority of the police in the Netherlands. Peter
Versteegh and René Hesseling have studied how residential burglaries are dealt with in the 31 police teams
of the Hague Police Service.
In their paper they will discuss the actual day-to-day approach to tackle residential burglary per police team
and furthermore they evaluate this approach against their Police Services’ safety strategy, The Best of Three
Worlds (B3W). This multiple strategy is a tailor-made combination of Problem-Oriented Policing, IntelligenceLed Policing and Community-Led Policing. An important question is whether implementing the B3W approach
is associated with the development in the number of residential burglaries in the 31 teams. Finally, some
recommendations are made to strengthen the current approach to residential burglaries on the basis of the
research results.
Sedat Mulayim & Miranda Lai, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
Communication with Ethnic Communities in Community Policing – Views of Ethnic Community
Members
Mass movement of people from one country or region to another for reasons such as trade, education,
immigration or refugee settlement has led to changes in the social environment of policing. One of the
challenges brought about by this new social environment is communicating and interacting with the members
of the ethnic communities in various aspects of policing and crime fighting.
The significance of community engagement for effective crime prevention and community policing is well
documented. Participation and engagement by all community members requires effective communication. In
many culturally and linguistically heterogeneous countries, the onus to communicate falls on the person who
does not speak the mainstream language. Police forces generally adopt a top-down approach to
communication, with various methods of communication selected depending on the task at hand. Effective
communication requires input and participation of the other party – that is, the members of the ethnic
communities.
This study aims at finding out the views of ethnic community members about communication methods in an
effort to explore a bottom-up approach. A survey designed for this purpose has been completed by over 150
ethnic community members from a wide range of languages in Melbourne, Australia. The paper discusses
key findings and identifies potential future research topics.

Doraval Govender, South Africa
Community-based Participatory Approach to Prevent Residential Burglaries and House
Robberies
Residential burglaries and house robberies remains a serious concern in South African society and will
continue to be a problem for as long as large sections of the population are still experiencing unemployment,
and the accompanying poverty and relative deprivation.
There is a growing concern that crime should be studied in a social context, so as to improve community
participation, ensure the sharing of experiences and concerns of people, and encourage a shared ownership
of the crime problem.
Since community engagement is central to this study, it was decided to use the community-based
participatory approach to empower affected communities to build knowledge for the prevention of residential
burglaries and house robberies in their communities.
This approach was based on a transactional relationship, which operated within the existing structure of the
Community Policing Forum (CPF). The communities collaborated with other stakeholders, because each had
something that the other perceived as useful. The rationale for this study is to prevent residential burglaries
and house robberies.
The goal is to obtain knowledge on how unlawful entry is gained to commit residential burglaries and house
robberies in the community under study, so that an effective and efficient Physical Protection System (PPS)
may be designed and regularly evaluated by the owners and private security service providers.
The study included informal and in-depth individual interviews with ten homeowners in Garsfontein, Pretoria
East, and observation of the physical protection systems installed at their homes. Data analysis involved the
thematic analysis of all responses and the observation field notes.
It was discovered that entry was gained by damaging the perimeter fencing, windows and burglar bars,
during the night or day, either in the absence of the owners, or while they were asleep. It was discovered
that PPS was not effectively and efficiently designed, neither was it being regularly evaluated.
Shrino Sasaki, Japan
Telephone Fraud in Japan
Specialized fraud is a current major problem on the crime situation in Japan. The number of reported
specialized fraud cases in 2013 is more than 11,000, nearly a 40% increase over the previous year. The total
damage amount is about 48.7 billion yen, or 487 million US dollar, which makes as much as 46% of the total
damage amount of all property crime.
Many of specialized fraud cases are committed as organized crime, and approximately 80% of victims of
specialized fraud are over the age of 60. Japanese
Police have asked cell phone services to reinforce customer ID checks, financial institutions to warn
customers of specialized fraud and have established a countermeasures office in NPA headquarters. We also
asked people to pretend to be duped when contacted by fraud criminals to set up sting operation.
Through these varieties of measures, Japanese Police are appealing “resistance” to the public, with which
people are more aware of the risk to be victimized by specialized fraud and join the social campaign to fight
against these fraud more actively.

Odd Malme, Norway
Police Reform in Serbia—Status 2014
Police reform, as an integral part of security sector reform (SSR), is one of the main prerequisites in the
transition from an authoritarian regime to a democratic police. One of the biggest challenges Serbia faced
after the democratic shift in October 2000 was the reform of the police force and its transformation into a
service accountable to citizens. In December 2013, the Council of the European Union approved opening
negotiations on Serbia's accession in January 2014.
Consequently, the first Intergovernmental Conference was held on 21 January at the European Council in
Brussels and Serbia has entered the European path more steadily than ever. In this new political context,
Serbia will very soon open negotiations with EU on chapters covering the justice system and home affairs.
They will remain open throughout the entire process of negotiations, which indicates that the most complex
and demanding work will take place in these areas.
In the early days of police reform efforts, the overarching challenges were politically announced following the
changes in 2000, and were termed as the four “Ds” – de-politicization, de-centralization, de-criminalization
and demilitarization.
This article will analyze what has been achieved in terms of the four “Ds”, and the way they were formalized
as concrete police reform priorities up until 2013, especially in the light of assistance provided by the OSCE
Mission to Serbia, as a partner of the Serbian Ministry of Interior (MoI) in police reform.

Karine Bates, Canada
Community Initiatives to Facilitate Access to Justice in India
This research presents applied solutions that have been developed by people and community organizations
seeking to facilitate access to the justice system and police in India, especially in the case of women’s rights.
In an effort to ensure that anthropology may better contribute to our understanding of how individuals can
access justice more efficiently, this study takes into account various anthropological and legal perspectives
whose common ground is that they conceive access to justice as a process involving not exclusively state law
representatives, but rather as a dynamic of interactions and dialogues among a variety of social actors and
community members.
Tiffiney Barfield Cottledge & Attapol Kuanliang, USA
Human Trafficking: A Global An Examination
Human trafficking is examined as both a domestic and international concern. While the correlation is
plausible, the extant literature indicates that little has been done to address these ongoing issues.
This paper provides information regarding the issue of human trafficking and transportation and border
concerns in the United States as well as other parts of the World.
Even though governments have attempted to address these issues, human trafficking rates have been largely
unaffected by law and policies. As a result women, boys and girls continue to be victimized and are likewise
at risk of continued victimization.
While a primary goal of this work is to increase awareness regarding the nature and extent of the human
trafficking, focus on global collaborative efforts, policies and policing practices are discussed.

Strategies in Prevention of Crime against Women in India—With Special Reference to Combined
State of AP and Telanagana
Growing of crime against women is a worldwide phenomenon and India is no exception in this phenomenon.
For discouraging increasing of violence against women, many efforts were made by the national and
international level organizations. The UNO had declared 25th November as International Day for the
Elimination of Violence against Women.
In spite efforts made by the various countries in the world for elimination of crime against women by
adopting different strategies but, number of crimes against women especially young women has been
increasing every year.
India is one of the oldest civilized and largest populated countries in the world. The female population is
almost half of the country. It has achieved multifaceted socioeconomic progress during the last 60 years of
its independence. However, in recent studies it was concluded that violence against women is still a growing
crime in India.
According to the official reports crime has been recorded against women in every three minutes and in every
60 minutes, two women are raped in this country. Every six hours, a young married women is found beaten
to death, burn or driven to suicide.
The death following a brutal gang rape and assault of a 23-year-old paramedical student in India’s capital
Delhi on December 16 has put spotlight on crimes against women in the country. Attempt has been made in
the present paper to review study of increasing of crime against Women in India and also analyze the causes
for the growth of violence against women.
The important objective of present research study is to examine the strategies made by the Government in
prevention of crimes against women and finally, suggestions were made to strengthen the action of the
governance in eradication of crime against women.
Cornelius Roelofse, South Africa
Victim Support and Adjudication of Sexual Offenses in the Thulamela Sexual Offenses Court in
the Venda Region, Limpopo Province of South Africa
South Africa has the dubious distinction of being labelled the rape capital of the world. Victims range from
babies to grandmothers.
This study is longitudinal and analyzed data of randomly selected files have been analyzed for a three year
period from 2009 to 2011. This is to make sure that cases have been finalized. The study is based on a
sample of cases registered in the Thohoyandou Victim Empowerment Center in the Thulamela Municipality,
dealing with victims in a deep rural area in South Africa. Files from TVEC have been randomly selected and
data extracted to answer the objectives of the study.
The cases analyzed have been adjudicated by the Thohoyandou Sexual offences court. The study focused on
the profile of victims, conviction rates and support for victims.

Coordinated Community Responses to Domestic Violence
This paper provides an overview of the Coordinated Community Response (CCRT) to domestic violence in the
Northeast Louisiana region.
The partnership and collaborative efforts of multiple agencies, working in tandem, are highlighted. One
unique aspect of this particular partnership is the University of Louisiana at Monroe’s involvement in this
initiative, where federal grant funding has allowed a micro version of the broader region’s CCRT to be
implemented on that campus.
Simultaneously, university experts also work with and support external agencies throughout the community
with domestic violence response.
The result is a genuine partnership between practitioners and researchers who work together, in the campus
environment and in the broader community, to provide public awareness, prevention, first-responder, and
intervention services in a comprehensive manner throughout Northeast Louisiana.
Police Practitioner –Academic Collaboration in Training and Education in Criminal Justice
This presentation focuses on the various ways academics and practitioners in criminal justice collaborate in
offering both formal and experiential learning courses in higher education. In the presentation the
differences between formal class-room education and experiential learning and experiential education are
discussed and a number of examples of experiential education programs, including work-shops, practicums,
field trips, guest speakers and the use of team teaching, are explained.
The specific goals of these programs are discussed and the teaching methods used to achieve these goals
are outlined in the presentation. Particular emphasis is given to the methods academics and justice
practitioners use to assure that the goals are met.
The current emphasis of higher education in criminal justice on comparative justice systems and matters
pertaining to global crime and crime prevention has resulted in the implementation of many higher
educational programs in various countries throughout the world that are grounded in methods that combine
formal learning experiences with experiential learning and several of these programs will be illustrated in the
presentation.
Srisombat Chokprajakchat, Thailand
Political Interference in the promotions and appointments of the Royal Thai Police
This research is aimed to assess problems and obstacles in the promotion and transfer procedures used for
police officers at the Royal Thai Police.
The study focused on the promotion and transfer of police officers in 2010. Both qualitative and quantitative
methods were used. Data were collected from documents, through in-depth interviews and with two attitude
surveys. The first survey included 1,313 members of the general population, and another with 1,319 police
officers, ranging in rank from Commander to Squad Leader.
It was found that the political involvement in making transfers and promotions mainly affect Police
commissioned officers. The rules and regulations for promotions and transfers of officers were overall
considered very fair.
However, there were aspects considered less fair. It was also found that politicians and other outside
influential figures, as well as nepotism played a role by interfering in the procedures for promotion and
transfer of police officers. It is recommended that related legislation is amended. Ranks should be abolished
and only positions titles should be used.

Crossing the Great Divide: The development and effectiveness of working relationships between
law enforcement personnel and academic researchers
After a sharp spike in violent crime, particularly among juveniles during 2005 and 2006, the Public Safety
Officer for Orange County requested that the authors of this paper complete an in depth analysis of possible
causes for the increase in violence and report back to various governmental bodies with suggestions to
address this problem.
Thus, beginning in 2006, members of the Department of Sociology at the University of Central Florida have
maintained a collaborative relationship with several Central Florida agencies including the City of Orlando,
Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Orlando Police Department, Orange County Commission, and Orlando City
Council.
Recommendations focusing on juveniles included increased informal contact between law enforcement and
juveniles and more after school programs, among others. The current Orange County Sheriff incorporated
three of the suggestions into his five initiatives when he ran for, and won, the election. Law enforcement
agencies continue to provide employment for graduate students from the Sociology Department and ready
access to data on crime incidents, while the academic researchers supply results to law enforcement and
other governmental agencies.
This paper outlines the development of this association and its major products. It also identifies selected
factors that are necessary for continuing this type of mutually beneficial relationship between local
government agencies, law enforcement, and academe.

Public Confidence Modeling: A Locally Based Approach to Police Performance Management
In the UK, the ability of the police to function effectively depends on the authority that they can command,
rather than the force that they can deploy. It is therefore essential that police retain their legitimacy in their
role of defenders of the British Public. This can only be achieved through maintaining and improving levels of
public confidence in policing.
Previous work on the determinants of public confidence has mainly used data either at a national level, or
from large, metropolitan urban areas. Little research has been carried out examining public confidence within
smaller urban areas.
This paper presents the results of a survey evaluating the views of 1322 residents of York around a number
of areas including their perceptions and attitudes towards crime, their local area, and the police. The study
uses Structural Equation Modelling as the methodology to develop several models of public confidence aimed
at assessing the main factors affecting public confidence in policing in York. These models are then tested to
see whether these factors differ in strength across local communities with varying degrees of neighborhood
perceptions.
Contrary to previous work, it is found that only a small subset of the studied factors have a significant effect
on public confidence. Instead, it is the interactions between these factors that provide evidence for a novel
framework for public confidence in smaller urban areas. In addition, it is found that even in a relatively small
city such as York, the factors which most affect an individual's views of the police can vary wildly depending
on an individual's perceptions regarding their local area.
Due to the recent increased focus on evidence based policing, it is expected that the results of this study will
enable new strategies to be developed which can improve both public confidence and community safety
within York and in other similar urban areas.

Community policing and vigilantism: Two alternative strategies for fighting neighborhood crime
Community policing incorporates the logic of security by creating partnerships between the police and the
public without making any distinctions of rank.
Since safety affects the quality of life, co-operation between the police and the public is directed to lessen the
corrosive tendencies of social deviance that feed phenomena of violence. Therefore, when governments are
not able to provide satisfactory public safety, especially among disadvantaged communities, what then could
deter the emergence of vigilantism?
The answer is positive, because vigilantism only emerges when the police do not respond adequately to
popular safety and security needs; thus, citizens resort to self-help measures. Vigilantism will produce a
certain number of negative implications.
First, vigilantism is a system that usurps state power. Second, the state authorities need to act rapidly to
counteract vigilante violent actions and to prosecute and convict perpetrators. Third, the state must strongly
assert and protect the right to life against any abuse committed by the vigilantes.
Vigilante activities represent a serious threat to human rights and to the growth and strengthening of
democratic principles at grassroots level. Community courts can represent an innovative and effective means
in order to deal with community crime problems in each society. They are neighbourhood-focused courts that
intervene on the underlying causes of crime through a problem solving approach in which prosecutor
partners with the police and others enforcing law actors in order to develop effective solutions to address
specific public safety problems.

Multi-Sector Cooperation in Preventing Crime: The Case of a South African Neighborhood
Watch as an Effective Crime Prevention Model
While many Community Policing Forum (CPF) structures in South Africa have not evolved further than merely
being “talk shops” where the police and communities interact about crime without any real action flowing
from it, this case study illustrates the benefits of empowering communities to take ownership of community
safety in South Africa and the advantages of following in a multi-sector approach to crime prevention.
This case study demonstrates the interactive development process of reflective practice and its contribution
to a deeper understanding of community policing theory and the informative value of practice for further
theory building. While previous studies have highlighted the role of the police in driving community policing,
this paper focuses on the role and contribution of communities, and other sectors, themselves as an effective
vehicle of community policing and crime prevention.
This case study explores and describes a South African community’s first-hand operational experiences how
community policing, in particular neighborhood watches, can effectively and sustainably be put into practice
in cooperation with the police, volunteers and private sectors.
This case study, furthermore, highlights key lessons, critical success factors, and best practices developed to
present a general framework for the growth of successful community policing structures. Attention is also
drawn to actions taken to manage problems and challenges experienced in realization of this community
policing model as well as successes achieved. This paper concludes with recommendations for communities
and the police to optimize the use of neighborhood watches as proactive community policing ventures.

Policing the Cross Border region: can this unique strategy embrace crime prevention and build
community resilience?
Spanning the three jurisdictions of Western Australia (WA), South Australia (SA) and the Northern Territory
(NT), the cross border region of Australia is sparsely populated with an estimated 7,000 people living in more
than 26 communities, with the predominantly Aboriginal population highly mobile for family, cultural and
other reasons.
The Cross-border Justice Scheme was implemented three years ago to treat the entire region as one policing
jurisdiction. The Scheme was conceived as a result of policy-makers wanting solutions for a range of social
and justice problems in the region. It was designed to remove the impediments created by jurisdictional
borders. It took over five years to develop and implement the legislative framework and inter-governmental
and organisational agreements required for the Scheme.
The expected outcomes included the generation of timely, efficient and meaningful justice responses in the
region that would contribute to greater community safety. Did that occur? This presentation will cover the
results of a 12 month evaluation conducted by the researchers, including the presenter.

Delta League - Changing lives through football
DELTA LEAGUE is a youth engagement programme aimed at keeping youths meaningfully occupied during
the school holidays in June and December, and raising their awareness of the consequences of being
involved in crime. Organised by SPF and NCPC with the strong support of the community, it is into its 7th
season in June 2014.
Using football as the key platform of engagement, Delta League draws the youths into a series of selfimprovement and crime awareness activities. The aim of this unique programme is clear and simple - to work
with community partners to dissuade youths from getting involved in crime by engaging them during the
entire school holiday period. This is achieved by harnessing the energy of the youths through football and
healthy activities that help steer them away from crime and mischief, and at the same time develop their
sense of social responsibility.
Throughout the process, opportunities and guidance are provided to encourage their personal development.
Delta League is truly unique as it is not just a sports tournament.
Beyond the football matches, the youths are given opportunity to interact with Police officers as mentors and
life coaches, as well as to take part in satellite community and crime prevention activities.

Cyberbullying: Creating Partnerships for Prevention
As a form of social deviance and in some instances crime, bullying negatively touches lives internationally.
With the advent of social media and the Internet, this form of deviance has increased exponentially through
the use of contemporary technologies.
The dichotomy of both victim and perpetrator has changed due to the often anonymous nature of this
relationship. This paper will discuss the phenomenon of cyberbullying and how schools and law enforcement
have partnered to attempt to prevent this.
Quality Management Strategies for Police Officers in Interpreted-Interviews
– A Training Video
With many parts of the world becoming more and more ethnically and linguistically diverse mainly due to
migration and humanitarian intakes, publicly funded professional interpreting and translating services come
into play when policing duties intersect with community members who do not speak the official or common
language of the country in which they reside.
Obtaining admissible and valid evidence for prosecution via the use of interpreters has always been
challenging for police forces around the world and can have a serious impact on the outcome of investigative
interviews. An extensive search around the world yields little instruction on specialised training on the part of
police about how they can achieve best outcomes through using interpreters and translators. Most current
training videos for police focus on broad cross-cultural communication issues and awareness of cultural
sensitivities.
This training video, on the other hand, was particularly produced to assist police officers/detectives to effect
better control over suspect/witness interaction in interpreted interviews, irrespective of whether they speak
the other language or not. The video covers common areas of concern in interviews. It particularly
demonstrates areas where quality of evidence may be compromised and offers ways to minimise such
compromise.
This training video will be the first of a series produced solely for police training purposes by the Translating
and Interpreting discipline, RMIT University. It is the researchers’ intention to launch the video at the
conference as a resource to advance excellence in policing within multilingual and multicultural settings.

Guide to Gender in the Criminal Justice System
A criminal justice system will only be as effective as all of its component parts – police, justice, and
corrections – and the system’s strength is derived from its ability to represent and serve all. Historically,
however, women have been excluded from and underserved in criminal justice institutions, and face
exclusion, discrimination, and sexual and gender-based violence disproportionate to that faced by men.
This presentation highlights the approach of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics
and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) in integrating women and women’s perspectives into its programming. In
particular, INL programming encourages the participation of women in the police, justice, and corrections
sectors in a way that promotes and safeguards their rights. INL’s approach is outlined in its recently-released,

Women in Law Enforcement: Reality or Myth
At the turn of the previous century a discussion about the place of women in policing would have been a
totally irrelevant topic. The world-wide perception that policing is a masculine occupation has resulted in
women experiencing discrimination in various forms since being admitted to this apparent masculine domain.
This view led to policing being seen as a “pure form of hegemonic masculinity” and in some way still feed
indifferent views of females in the police domain.
Within the current South African Police Service (SAPS) the opportunity has been created for women to
function on par with males but does that mean they have been wholeheartedly accepted into the hegemonic
masculine domain of policing?
This contribution will look at the historical position of females in the police, the current position of female
police officers in the SAPS and the myths that exist will be critically considered against the background of my
findings regarding the actual performance of female police officers.

Gender Mainstreaming, Rule of Law and CJ Administration: Training and Policy
Recommendations
The issue of gender equality and mainstreaming as it relates to rule of law and the administration of criminal

First, female victims of crime, whether in urban or rural settings, must have their voices heard and not be
denied the opportunity to report their victimization. Second, criminal justice agencies, such as the police and
the courts, must ensure that females are properly represented within their ranks. And third, government
officials should direct that females are granted the same professional and promotional opportunities as their
male counterparts.

Preliminary Results of Pilot Study: International Police Response to Domestic Violence
Great strides have been made regarding increased awareness of domestic violence. However, little is known
about global recognition and response.
An initial survey proposal was introduced at the 2012 IPES UN, NYC meeting as a new pilot study seeking
suggestions and responses from police departments internationally to investigate current laws, departmental
policies and officer response to domestic violence.
Preliminary pilot study results from two police agencies in Southern India produced data for analysis of
policies and practices as they relate to response trends, the status of women regarding culture, traditions,
age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and the impact on family constellations. This pilot study informs
discussion, collaboration, and cooperation among criminal justice professionals with the goal of creating a
refined instrument to assist in eradicating domestic violence through improved response and aggressive

Challenges in Assessing Critical Needs of Schools and Police
Corruption and sectarianism have emerged as recurrent and persistent concern throughout southern and
eastern Europe (as well as other parts of the world) since the collapse of the former Soviet Union (1989) and
Yugoslavia (1990). Ethnic/sectarian nationalism is a serious determent to both the economic health and
social wellbeing of these newly minted nations as illustrated by the current crisis in Ukraine and the earlier
crisis in Georgia.
Of the new nations carved out of the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia represent the
greatest challenges to forming cooperative, heterogeneous sectarian societies and, consequently, full
membership within the European Union – the political and economic desire of many of these new nations.
Even then, Bosnia-Herzegovina is the most problematic given its current divisions along ethnic/sectarian
lines. Not only is there a political divide between the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (FBiH), the Republic
of Srpska (RS) and the Brcko District (BD), there is also on-going litigation regarding the enfranchisement of
Roma and Jews in additional to BiH residents who identify as either as Catholic-Croats, Muslim-Bosniaks, or
Orthodox Christian Serbian.
Studies have shown that sectarian ethnocentrism has increased among the post-Balkan war generation
whereby the children of parents caught up in the 1991-2002 conflict are more ethnocentric than their parents
were at the time of these conflicts.
Why? A major part of this answer is that each group tends to socialize their children, with the help of a
highly segregated educational system, within the narrow confines of their ethnic/sectarian worldview. This
socialization carries on into political and law enforcement positions as well.
We embarked on a project designed to more accurately measure the nature and extend of these problems
whereby we translated a number of psychological instruments into the Slavic-language while at the same
time making them culturally sensitive so as to accommodate the three major ethnic groups in BiH. Our paper
addresses the challenges in having these measures accepted and tested both within the school systems and
among law enforcement/security, correctional and judicial personnel.

Criminal Opportunity Structures and Crime: Do Routine Activities in Everyday Life Influence the
Risk of Bullying Victimization at School?
Bullying victimization at school is a significant social issue attracting wider attention to many countries.
Bullying may lead to serious problems for its victims. Therefore, it is imperative to know the factors that
shape the risk of bullying victimization among students.
This study employs Routine Activity Theory as an opportunity explanation of crime based on a structure of
routine activities reflecting where, with whom, and how long people spend their time to explore bullying
victimization. Using 2007 NCVS data drawn from Regional Educational Laboratory at Education Development
Center, Poisson and Negative Binomial regression models were analyzed to explain whether physical and
non-physical bullying victimization was affected by measures of routine activities.
The study indicates that students’ exposure and proximity to motivated offenders, school environment,
capable guardianship, and target attractiveness were related to the risk of bullying victimization. Additionally,
the study’s analyses reveal that risk factors were different, depending on the type of bullying victimization.
The implications of the study findings are discussed.

The Relationship between Alzheimer and Missing Persons: An Examination
The relationship between Alzheimer and missing persons is examined. While the correlation is plausible, the
extant literature indicates that little research has been conducted in this area.
More specifically, this paper provides information regarding the relationship between the progressive stages
of Alzheimer disease and missing persons. While some governments have attempted to address missing
elderly these efforts are reactive in nature. As a result, the rates at which elderly person’s go missing have
been largely unaffected by practices and policies leaving this population vulnerable to unintended
consequences.
While a primary goal of this work is to increase awareness regarding the nature and extent of the
Alzheimer/missing person relationship, attention will be given to policies and practices that can be shared

Policing non-citizens in Taiwan
From the 1990s to the present, work and marriage immigrants have become a new target of exploitation and
slavery in Taiwan. They are the marginalized subpopulations in an otherwise prosperous nation. The police
have paid little attention to their dilemmas of existence in Taiwanese societies.
Traditionally, law enforcement's principal tactics against illegal immigrants have involved interception,
detention, and deportation. Those being smuggled had never been viewed by the police as "victims of
crime". However, the situation changed since the Trafficking in Persons Report 2006 was published by the US
State Department.
Due to the strong domestic and international criticisms, the Taiwanese authorities have strengthened not
only their enforcement efforts on snakeheads, but also the protections extended to human trafficking victims.
This paper intends to review the modes and mentalities of migration policing with recent publications on
policing non-citizens.

Building Community Resilience: Strategic Role of Police with Bombing Victims
In the context where terrorism is viewed as an act of crime based on ideology, healing bombing victims using
various components of society along with the support of police is critical. The approach is distinct from
treatment of other crime victims.
This paper describes the strategic role of the police in transforming bombing victims into ‘champions’ to build
community resilience, based on the author’s best practice. The transformation process includes five key
stages namely physical rehabilitation, psychosocial rehabilitation, harmonization through group therapies and
dialogues, empowerment programs, and generating change agents to deliver anti-violence messages.
In the process, a collaborative work among police, professionals, experts, civil society, and other proponents
is necessary in order to prevent future reciprocal acts of violence in the community.

The SHIELD (Safety & Health Improvement: Enhancing Law Enforcement Departments) Study:
Feasibility and Findings
This randomized prospective trial aimed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a team-based worksite health
and safety intervention for law enforcement personnel. Law enforcement officers met in teams for weekly,
peer-led sessions delivered from a scripted curriculum on exercise, nutrition, stress, sleep, body weight,
injury, smoking and heavy alcohol use.
Health and safety questionnaires administered before and after the intervention found significant
improvements for increased fruit and vegetable consumption, decreased dietary fat consumption, overall
healthy eating, increased sleep quantity and sleep quality, and reduced personal stress.
Few law enforcement organizations have health promotion-harm reduction programs, despite a demonstrated
need and predictions that occupational wellness is a critical component of recruiting and maintaining an
effective workforce. A peer-led, team-based occupational program may be ideally suited to harness positive
peer pressure and improve LEO health and safety.

deployment of on-body officer camera systems have significantly decreased allegations of police misconduct.
The presence of on-body officer cameras appears to modify suspect behavior and may help regulate police
interaction. The Mesa Police Department evaluated the effects of on-body cameras during a yearlong study.
Findings demonstrated that officers equipped with an on-body camera experienced a 40% decrease in
complaints and a 75% decrease in use of force complaints.
These findings were consistent with those of other agencies that deployed on-body officer camera systems.

To date, few studies have assessed the correlates of communication effectiveness in criminal justice
organizations. The interdisciplinary field of organizational communications has identified a variety of factors
that are associated with communication performance in a variety of different organizational contexts. Using a
survey of 171 detectives and criminal investigators from Washington State, this study tests whether the correlates

External Retention Factors in Relation to Organizational Commitment: Empirical Evidence from
Ghana Police Service
Retention factors have economic implications in the organizational commitment of employees to their
organization. To ascertain the relationship between external factors and organizational commitment of police
personnel, the researchers conducted this study using 240 personnel drawn from two divisions of Ghana
Police Service from Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
The researchers used cross sectional research design and convenience sample to assess the external
retention factors that affect organizational commitment of the personnel. Statistical analysis of the data
collected revealed that external factors in the form of geographical location of the personnel, level of crime in
the area, quality of education and health service availability did not have significant influence on the
commitment of the personnel to the police service. It was again revealed from the study that age, gender,
and marital status did also not have significant influence on the affective and normative commitment of the
personnel to the service (p>.05). Age and gender did also not have any significant influence on the
continuance commitment of the personnel. However, tenure of office contributed significantly and positively
to the variance in affective commitment.
The study concluded that the external factors did not influence the commitment of the personnel.

Odd Malme
Odd Malme is a founding member of the Global Initiative, has been working with the OSCE (Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe) mission to democratize the Serbian police force. Based in Belgrade, he was
on contract to head up the OSCE’s law enforcement division, the largest aspect of the 57-member state mission
to Serbia, until July this year.
After finishing his training at the Norwegian National Policy Academy in 1970, Malme worked his way up the
police service, heading up the crime intelligence and organized crime division in Oslo at one point. One of the
highlights of that period was setting up a national and regional cooperation initiative, which included Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Czech Republic, and which led to the seizure of vast amounts of heroin coming through
the Balkan route to Scandinavia. “We broke the smuggling code and several Albanians were arrested and
sentenced to many years in jail,” recalls Malme.
He served as Deputy National Police Commissioner of Norway from 2000 – 2007 and during this time was
involved in efforts to improve the Norwegian Police Service (www.politiet.no). Unlike in Serbia, human rights
were already highly valued by the Norwegian police, he says. “Our challenge was to try to make policing much
more effective.” Malme was involved in many fascinating special assignments during his career with the
Norwegian Police Service. He went on a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan and was part of the Norwegian task
force to Thailand after the tsunami in 2004.
He has a long history with the Norwegian Security Service where he worked for many years in the field of
espionage and counter terrorism. He has also served with the Ministry of Justice on police performance and
international cooperation.
In 2007 Malme was appointed as police advisor to Norway’s permanent mission to the United Nations in New
York. There he worked on peace and security and the rule of law, with a main focus on peacekeeping
operations, counter terrorism and transnational organized crime. Malme describes this time as a steep learning
curve, where he learnt how the complex world of global politics operates, and where he became a true “New
Yorker”, he laughs.
Malme, who is married with two children and four grandchildren, loves to spend time in nature, where he
enjoys hiking.

Previously held key appointments include Director, Administration & Finance Department and Deputy Director,

Whilst Commander of the Clementi Police Division, he realised the need to come up with a meaningful
engagement to keep youth away from crime and in an effective manner and so the Delta League was born.
With only 16 teams in 2011, Delta League aimed to keep youths engaged through a month-long 11-a-side
football tournament. Faced with many early challenges, looking for trainers, finding sufficient football fields etc.
the membership of Delta League had grown from an initial 326 students to 2,050 students in December 2013.
After the exponential success of Delta League over the years, AC Yong then started another initiative called
Delta Citizenry which targeted community engagement. Through yet another successful initiative, having
citizens on patrol had helped the SPF solve many crimes and improved security of their neighbourhoods.
Under AC Yong’s leadership, Clementi Police Division was awarded the “Best Land Division” title for the
7th time in 2012 – an unprecedented record in the competition’s history since 1996.

Veronika Murrut
Veronika Murrut is currently completing a Master of Professional Studies program in Security and Safety
Leadership at the prestigious George Washington University in Washington, DC.
Most recently she worked as a contractor for the U.S. Navy, establishing a program office to manage the
building and deployment of Integrated Combat Systems for Littoral Combat Ships that carry out missions in
both near-shore environments and in the open ocean. These ships are vital to the Navy’s mission, designed to
defeat diverse threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft, but also to provide
humanitarian assistance.
Previously she supported the Navy’s amphibious assault and air-cushioned hovercraft programs. Her work has
focused on evaluating assets and operations, and developing recommendations and systems to make programs
run more efficiently.
She began her career working for a US Agency for International Development-funded program focused on
organizing political exchanges between United States and international political leaders. Her interest in national
security issues stems from having grown up in Soviet-occupied Estonia, living through the transition in Eastern
Europe to democracy, and eventually finding new opportunities in the United States of America. She lives in the
Washington, DC suburbs with her husband and three children.
