Allmänt
Polisens mediabevakning i Sverige debatteras
Med anledning av Holgerssons bok ”Polisen bakom kulisserna” där han sammanställer sin
kritiska forskning av polisens mediahantering har radioserien Vetenskapsradion Forum gjort
ett program:
”Romregistret, dödsskjutningen i Husby och helikopterrånet mot värdedepån i Västberga
är exempel på uppmärksammade händelser där Polisens uttalanden har ifrågasatts i medierna.
I den nya boken Polisen bakom kulisserna skriver Stefan Holgersson, polis och forskare vid
Linköpings universitet, att Polisen använder sig av olika metoder för att parera kritik och
bygga upp positiva bilder av verksamheten. Men Varg Gyllander som är presschef på
Polismyndigheten i Stockholms län vänder sig mot Stefan Holgerssons beskrivningar. Han
säger att det är oundvikligt att det ibland blir fel och missuppfattningar i en så stor
organisation som Polisen, men att det handlar om enskilda fall och inte om några medvetna
förvanskningar.” (Sveriges Radios hemsida, länk nedan)
Programmet på 24 minuter kan lyssnas på här
https://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/460032?programid=1302
På Aftonbladets kultursida anmäls Holgerssons bok under rubriken ”Polisens fusk sett från
insidan, Frustrerande läsning av Stefan Holgersson om hur polisen förskönar bilden av sin
verksamhet”.

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

Förslag om högskoleutbildning av poliser på Island
The Ministry of interior has requested comments on the proposals on the future of police
education in Iceland. The proposals include that the program will be three years of study at
university level, the school will be an independent unit, but education outsourced to the
educational system to a large extent and the police school will be the educational and research
center for police. (Från NSfK:s nyhetsbrev)
Proposal for Research Network on Police Culture
Proposal for Research Network on Police Culture: Legitimacy, Democracy and Institutional
Ethos. Multi-Disciplinary and World-Wide Perspectives
Dr Jonathan Dunnage and Dr Chris Millington (Swansea University, UK) are looking to
set up a network of researchers and practitioners to investigate police culture. They are
preparing a bid to the Arts and Humanities Research Council to fund a series of workshops at
which members of the network will be able to meet to discuss the values, behaviour,
mentalities and self-representation of the police in democratic and non-democratic societies
from the nineteenth century to the present day.
The workshops will encourage debate among academic researchers from several
disciplines (including history, criminology, media and film studies) and practitioners from
police forces and related professions, and provide a forum for establishing future
collaborative projects. Besides publishing papers from the workshops, the network will also
run a web-page for sharing ideas and experiences among participants and the wider academic
and practitioner communities.
The organizers are particularly keen for police officers and trainers from the UK and
beyond to take part in the network, relating and sharing their own experiences and responding
to academic papers on police culture. Details of the project are attached.
Anyone interested in participating is kindly requested to contact Jonathan Dunnage telephone: 0044 (0)1792 602610; email: j.dunnage@swansea.ac.uk
Hemsidor för polisdebatt
Fd föreståndaren vid Centrum för polisforskning har startat en hemsida.. Han anger att
”Mottot för denna webbsida, lite seriösare, lite tråkigare, kan sägas vara en reaktion på att
frågor om brott, polis etc. blivit mer och mer underhållning. Polisprofessorn 2.0, som sidan
heter, får sägas stå för en sådan motkraft mot brott och polis enbart sett som underhållning.”

Även polisforskaren Stefan Holgersson har i samband med att han gett ut sin bok ”Polisen
bakom kulisserna” öppnat en hemsida där han presenterar sig och sin forskning.

creativity

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

Dansk Phd: Europols kamp mod seksuelle forbrydelser mod born.
Thygesen Vendius Trine (2014). Europol - fra informationsudveksling til fælles
efterforskningsteknikker? København:Københavns Universitet, Det Juridiske Fakultet.
Summary in English Since the mid '90's there has been a gradual shift within police investigations moving from
a reactive to a more proactive approach based on increased information sharing and intelligence-led policing.
Europol, the European Police Office, through its role as the information sharing and analysis unit, has in many
ways been a forerunner of this development.
The shift is the result of an overall change in how crime has developed where criminals are increasingly
operating in networks across borders. With free access to the Internet, criminals are provided with a new
platform to commit crimes as well as easier access to their victims. Children form a particularly vulnerable group
as sexual offenders have direct access contact to their victims through chat rooms and social networking sites.
Simultaneously, sexual offenders also have easier access to images of sexual abuse of children which they share
with like-minded people using the internet as a tool.
This thesis focuses on European police cooperation within the framework of Europol and the overall aim of
effectively combating Internet-related (online) sexual crimes against children. The thesis concludes that there is a
need for a new paradigm in the proactive investigation of these types of crimes if the police forces of EU
member states are to fulfill the overall objective of effectively combating Internet-related (online) sexual crimes
against children.
Afhandlingen er planlagt til at blive udgivet på forlaget Ex Tuto.
Brårapport: Kritk mot polisens utredning av barn
Bogestam Nadja (2014). Brott begångna av barn En utvärdering av ändringarna i lagen med
särskilda bestämmelser om unga lagöverträdare under 15 år. Stockholm: BRÅ.
Ur Brå:s presentation: ”Ändringarna i lagen om unga lagöverträdare (LUL) skulle leda till att
polisen utredde alla grövre brott som begås av barn under 15 år och att socialtjänsten i övriga
fall skulle bedöma behovet av polisutredningar. Lagreformen 2010 har inte lett till att en
större andel av de brottsmisstänkta barnen utreds av polisen. Såväl 2005 som 2012 var det en
femtedel som utreddes.
– De grövre brotten, som till exempel rån, våldtäkt, grov misshandel och mordbrand utreds
däremot oftare. Men det görs fortfarande inte regelmässigt. Här måste polisen bli bättre på att
verkligen följa lagens krav, säger Nadja Bogestam, utredare på Brå.
Andelen utredningar som initierats av socialtjänsten halverades mellan 2005 och 2012,
tvärtemot lagstiftarens intentioner. Det tycks delvis bero på att socialsekreterarna inte
uppmärksammat att det ligger på dem att be polisen om en utredning, när de tycker att en
sådan vore värdefull. Men det beror också på att socialtjänsten ofta tycker att de fått veta
tillräckligt om vad barnet gjort och vilka insatser som behövs genom den egna utredningen.
– Polisen och socialtjänsten har ibland lite olika syn på värdet av ett polisförhör, säger
Nadja Bogestam. En ökad samverkan behövs för en ökad förståelse för varandras roller och
kompetenser.
En underliggande tanke bakom lagändringen är att den markering som ett polisförhör
innebär, skulle kunna minska risken att barnet återfaller i brott. Brås studie ger inget stöd för
den tanken. Det är också så att en fjärdedel av de brottsmisstänkta barnen inom ett år
misstänkts för nya brott, och inom tre år är det hälften av barnen som misstänks för nya brott.
– Att så många återfaller är ett tecken på att detta är en grupp barn som samhället bör rikta
uppmärksamhet mot. Men just polisförhör verkar inte vara någon effektiv insats, säger Stina
Holmberg, enhetschef på Brå.”

Brårapporter: Begränsad effekt av nya lagregler mot stalkning
Ur Brå:s presentation: ”Den nya lagbestämmelsen om olaga förföljelse som infördes 2011 har
inte lett till särskilt många anmälningar och andelen fällande domar är liten. Den nya
möjligheten att besluta om fotboja för dem som fysiskt överträder ett utvidgat kontaktförbud,
har heller inte utnyttjats i någon större utsträckning. Det framkommer i två nya rapporter som
Brottsförebyggande rådet (Brå) publicerar.”

”I denna rapport beskrivs vilka typer av ärenden som polis, åklagare och domstolar har
bedömt som olaga förföljelse. Därtill har Brå intervjuat poliser och åklagare om deras tankar
om den nya straffbestämmelsen och deras erfarenheter av att tillämpa den.”

Högst tillit till polisen i Danmark och Finland men den ökar i Sverige
Justitsministeriets Forskningskontor (2014). Tryghed og holdning til politi og retssystem. En
sammenligning mellem Danmark og andre europæiske lande. Justitsministeriet
Ur danska Justitsministeriets webbpresentation
Sammenlignet med 22 andre europæiske lande ligger Danmark i top, når det gælder
befolkningens tillid til domstolene og politiet. Kun overgået af islændingene er danskerne de
tryggeste ved at færdes alene efter mørkets frembrud. Det viser en ny rapport fra
Justitsministeriets Forskningskontor.
Danskerne stoler i vid udstrækning på, at domstolene behandler alle ens. Faktisk er
Danmark det land i Europa, hvor tilliden til retssystemet er allerhøjest. Det konkluderer en ny
rapport fra Justitsministeriets Forskningskontor, som er baseret på en sammenlignende
undersøgelse af tryghed, tillid og holdning til politi og domstole i 23 europæiske lande.
Også politiet nyder stor tillid i befolkningen herhjemme. Danmark er kun overgået af
Finland i graden af borgernes tillid til politiet. På en skala fra 0 til 10, hvor 0 er ’ingen tillid
overhovedet’ og 10 er ’fuld tillid’, lander Danmark på 8,0.
Udover en høj tillid til retssystemet er det kendetegnende for danskerne, at de i det hele
taget har stor tillid til andre mennesker. Danskerne ligger i den nye undersøgelse – såvel som i
de fem foregående – på en førsteplads i spørgsmålet om generel tillid til andre. Der er ingen
kønsforskel i tilliden til andre mennesker, men de ældre giver udtryk for en større tillid til
andre, end de yngre aldersgrupper gør.
Når det gælder spørgsmålet om, hvor tryg man er ved at bevæge sig udenfor efter
solnedgang, er danskerne kun overgået af islændingene. Hele 54 % af danskerne svarer
således, at de er meget trygge, når de færdes alene i deres lokalområde efter mørkets
frembrud. Det er cirka dobbelt så mange som gennemsnittet i undersøgelsen.
Undersøgelsen European Social Survey, som ligger til grund for den nye rapport, blev
gennemført første gang i 2002 og er siden foretaget hvert andet år.

Brå rapporterar utifrån den svenska Nationella trygghetsundersökningen att tryggheten,
förtroendet för rättsväsendet inklusive polisen ökar även i Sverige.
Ur Brå:s presentation: ”I befolkningen mellan 16 och 79 år uppger 60 procent att de har
stort förtroende för rättsväsendet. Det är en ökning med 6 procentenheter sedan 2006. Lika
många, 60 procent, uppger att de har stort förtroende för Polisen. … Generellt har ungdomar i
åldern 16–19 år störst förtroende för rättsväsendet.”
”Andelen som oroar sig för att utsättas för överfall eller misshandel har minskat från 15
procent år 2006 till 10 procent år 2014. Oron för att utsättas för fordonsrelaterade brott har
under samma period minskat från 22 till 12 procent, medan oron för bostadsinbrott har legat
relativt stabil på cirka 16 procent. Samtidigt är det allt färre som uppger att de tror att
brottsligheten ökar kraftigt. År 2006 uppgav 41 procent att de trodde det och år 2014 hade
andelen sjunkit till 25 procent.”

Kritisk rapport av svensk polis instrument för riskanalyser
Mellgren Caroline, Svalin Klara, Levander Sten & Torstensson Levander Marie (2014)
Riskanalys i polisverksamhet – fungerar det? Slutrapport från ett utvärderingsprojekt.
Rikspolisstyrelsens utvärderingsfunktion Rapport 2014:7. Stockholm: Rikspolisstyrelsen
Av studien genomförd av forskare vid Kriminologiska institutionen Malmö högskola framgår
att den övergripande slutsatsen i studien är att riskanalyser inte leder till att brottsoffer mer
sällan utsätts för upprepade brott och att åtgärder till brottsdrabbade ges utan vetenskaplig
kunskap. Det beror bland annat på att bedömningar av risk görs utan ett komplett underlag för
att bedöma just risken och att verktygens förmåga att förutse åtgärdernas förebyggande effekt
är svag

Norsk master Politiet og kriminalitetsofre
Giske, Camilla (2014). Politiet og kriminalitetsofre : en studie av formelt ansvar og praksis.
Master thesis. Oslo: Politihøgskolen
Abstract: Hvilken rolle og hvilket ansvar har politiet, formelt og i praksis, for kriminalitetsofre? Spørsmålet
besvares gjennom en omfattende dokumentanalyse av gjeldende regelverk, offentlige utredninger og
handlingsplaner fra siste 30 år. Trenden viser at ofre for kriminalitet er viet gradvis større oppmerksomhet både i
strafferettsystemet, forskning og i mediene de siste tiårene, og oppmerksomhet rundt ofre har endret seg fra «ofre
som vitner» til «ofre som skal ivaretas» for å redusere gjentatt viktimisering, skape trygghet og forebygge
kriminalitet. I oppgaven presenteres «Trygghetsprogrammet» - et strukturert oppfølgingsverktøy for unge ofre og
vitner til vold, ran, trusler, seksuelle overgrep og hatkriminalitet, utviklet ved Manglerud politistasjon i Oslo. For
å belyse politiets innsats for unge kriminalitetsofre har forfatteren gjennomført en kvalitativ intervjuundersøkelse
av 8 trygghetsguider (polititjenestepersoner) ved Manglerud politistasjon om deres erfaringer med oppfølging av
unge kriminalitetsofre gjennom Trygghetsprogrammet. Undersøkelsen viser at politibetjenter som har vært
engasjert som trygghetsguider opplever at de gjennom anerkjennelse fra brukerne blir motivert til videre innsats.
De anser det å være trygghetsguide som en utvidelse av politirollen og føler at de gjør en meningsfylt jobb fordi
de bidrar til å reetablere trygghetsfølelsen hos unge ofre og deres foreldre. I oppgaven undersøkes også hvilke
erfaringer ungdommene og deres foreldre har med å være brukere av Trygghetsprogrammet ved en
gjennnomgang av alle anonymiserte evalueringsskjemaer som er returnert til politiet i perioden 2009-2012.
Svarprosenten har dessverre vært lav, men de knappe 30 prosentene som har svart på evalueringen, er meget
godt fornøyde med oppfølgingen de har fått.

Bibliography of Scottish and Contemporary Policing
Select Bibliography of Scottish and Contemporary Policing (7th Edition, December 2014)
[Compiled by Tim Heilbronn, Scottish Institute for Policing Research, and Dr Daniel
Donnelly, formerly Centre for Criminal Justice and Police Studies, Hamilton]
This bibliography of 1809 references is offered as a starting-point for identifying material
which may be of value in researching Scottish policing. It attempts to list recent work which
has been carried out by researchers in Scotland and/or about policing in Scotland. It also
includes some papers and articles about policing elsewhere which resonate with key current
themes in Scottish policing.

Service) and Peter Neyroud (University of Cambridge). Each speaker drew on their wealth of
experience and distinguished record of academic and professional achievement to craft
lectures which offer compelling arguments and illustrations of how research evidence can be
used to enhance the effectiveness and legitimacy of policing. From improving policecommunity relations and public confidence to tackling hot spots of crime and disorder; from
understanding better the uses of police discretion to the importance of evidence-based
approaches for developing the professional status of policing, each of the lectures mobilizes a
range of research to address key issues and innovations in contemporary policing as well as
highlighting important challenges for the future. Collectively the lectures also show the
richness of the ‘supply’ of research evidence across different areas of policing as well as the
growing ‘demand’ from within police organizations to integrate evidence-based approaches
into policy and practice.”(Nicholas Fyfe)

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

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

Norska polisstudenters uppfattning om utbildningen
Fekjær, Silje B. & Hove, Kjersti (2014). Klare for virkeligheten?: Delte meninger om
utdanningen blant studentene ved PHS. Politiforum, (11), 42-43.
Sammendrag: Det er liten dekning for påstandene om at det store flertallet av studentene ved Politihøgskolen er
svært misfornøyde med utdanningen generelt, og den operative opplæringen spesielt. Vår undersøkelse av årets
avgangskull viser at mange opplever at utdanningen har gitt dem den kompetansen de har behov for. Samtidig
viser resultatene at det er delte meninger innad blant studentene, og at et relativt stort mindretall opplever at de
mangler viktig operativ kompetanse når de går ut fra PHS.

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

Police and ethnic minorities in Sweden
Uhnoo Sara (2014). Within ‘the Tin Bubble’: the police and ethnic minorities in Sweden.
Policing & society Volume 25, Issue 2, 2015 pp. 129-149.
Abstract: How can discriminatory treatment along perceived ethnic lines become reproduced within a
discursive climate that claims to support ethnic diversity and condemn racism? Through an analysis of
interviews with 21 current and former employees of the Swedish Police who identified their background as
‘foreign’, this article investigates how certain language use and specific talk can be reproduced in spite of the
internal and external criticism directed at them. Six different, institutionally available accounts resorted to by the
interviewees to make sense of and legitimise the derogatory language and joking they encountered at work are
examined, shedding light on how the use of derogatory language, slurs, and degrading humour about ethnic
minorities can remain commonplace within the police force without becoming considered as especially
problematic. In addition, the analysis shows that which takes place within the police's own ‘Tin Bubble’, or in
the police car, canteen, and lunchroom, to potentially have a carryover effect from one context to the other,
colouring police interactions with the public and adversely affecting the workplace satisfaction of police
employees coming from minority backgrounds.

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

Call for papers on Police Brutality in Journal of Urban Health
Though violence has long been considered a public health issue, police brutality has remained
largely outside the purview of public health. Few empirical studies have examined its
consequences for the public's health or tested interventions to reduce its frequency or toll.
Over the past few months, a social movement has coalesced in many US cities to eradicate
police brutality. Among other things, this movement has catalyzed discussions about public
health's role in understanding and eliminating this form of violence. The purposes of this
special section of the Journal of Urban Health (JUH) are to foster and gather together cuttingedge conceptual and empirical work and pedagogy about police brutality in urban areas as a
public health issue, and develop and disseminate related interventions. Deadline February 6.
We invite manuscripts about police brutality and public health that are designed to do any
of the following:
* Describe results of empirical analyses (qualitative or quantitative);
* Advance theory;
* Develop measures of exposure to police brutality, including investigating the psychometric
or econometric properties of these measures;
* Describe interventions or social movements to prevent police brutality or reduce its impact;
* Share pedagogical strategies to teach about police brutality in public health courses or
community health settings;
* Discuss any other aspect of the topic. Manuscripts should focus on urban areas, and can
focus on police brutality in any country.
Please submit an unstructured abstract of up to 500 words to Drs. Hannah Cooper and Mindy
Fullilove (hcoope3@emory.edu and mf29@columbia.edu). We expect that we will invite
approximately 5 authors to submit complete manuscripts; the due date for manuscripts will be
in June 2015. In keeping with JUH's guidelines, manuscripts should be 3,500 words with 1-4
tables/figures and an unstructured abstract of 250 words.
Additional guidelines can be found here:http://www.springer.com/public+health/journal/11524.
IACP's Police Chief Magazine söker artikel om skolsäkerhet
The International Association of Chiefs of Police is looking for someone international
(outside of North America) to pen an article relating to school safety/security for an
international issue of IACP's POLICE CHIEF Magazine. It can be elementary/middle/high
school and it can be related to an incident which occurred or was encountered/dealt with in a
foreign country, or perhaps it involves a program that was implemented to increase school
security and lessons learned from it (i.e. case study). These are the details and parameters of
what is requested:
1) IACP needs an article for the Police Chief Magazine March issue (end of January 2015)
for submission to IACP editors
2) Article will be in the international issue, so must involve an incident or program
internationally (not domestically in North America)
3) Authors may be 1) international or 2) international author who can collaborate in writing
the article with a domestic author about an international program/incident
4) Authors can be an academic or a practitioner type or a mix, but the article should address
something for the IACP audience of police chiefs/leaders and should present information that
they will/can find useful and interesting.
5) There will be very little time for editing the article and it must be in English.

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

BRÅ-konferens Trygghet – allas vår rättighet 24–25 mars Sundsvall
BRÅ:s konferens Råd för framtiden hålls den 24–25 mars 2015 i Sundsvall. Temat denna
gång är Trygghet – allas vår rättighet. Sista anmälningsdag: 24 februari
Ur programmet:
Öppningsanföranden Morgan Johansson, justitieminister Dan Eliasson, rikspolischef
Vem är framtidens brottsförebyggare? I den nya Polismyndigheten ska verksamheten i
högre grad än idag utgå från lokala problembilder, lokala målformuleringar och dialog med
medborgarna. Vad ställer det för krav på lokal kompetens, profession och uppdrag? Hur ska
det nationella stödet anpassas så att det svarar mot lokala behov och förutsättningar?
Paneldebatt med Anders Hall, tillträdande chef för Polismyndighetens utvecklingsavdelning,
Peter Lindström, docent Malmö Högskola, Bodil Hansson, vice ordförande i Sundsvalls
kommunstyrelse, Karin Svanberg, enhetschef, Brottsförebyggande rådet m.fl.
Preventing social unrest: building relationships with local communities. Att bygga
relationer med medborgare, kommuner och andra intressenter är avgörande för att nå
framgång i modernt polisarbete, inte minst i utsatta områden. Professor Otto Adang professor
vid Polishögskolan i Nederländerna kommer att berätta varför och presentera en modell för
hur man kan förklara dynamiken i social oro och också visa hur denna modell kan användas
för att ge praktiska rekommendationer.
When the rules went down: rethinking riots as performative acts. Varför attackeras
ambulanspersonal, varför vandaliseras och plundras affärer i samband med upplopp? Simon
Hallsworth professor vid University Campus Suffol, menar att svaret får sökas i hur
människor agerar under upploppen. Deltagarnas handlingar uttrycker deras åsikter och
ställningstaganden och ger därmed en förståelse för varför upploppen sker.
Att arbeta lokalt mot våldsbejakande extremism. Vad behövs för att man lokalt ska kunna
förebygga våldsbejakande extremism? Vilken kunskap, vilka metoder, vilket nationellt stöd
och vilken statistik finns i dag och vad behövs tas fram? Mona Sahlin,nationell samordnare
för att värna demokratin mot våldsbejakande extremism, Regeringskansliet
Parallella seminarier.
Varför ska vi bry oss om brott och otrygghet på landsbygden?

Call for papers: 9th Australasian Women and Policing Conference
The Australasian Council of Women and Policing is calling for papers for the 9th Australasian Women and Policing Conference being held in Luna Park, Sydney from 31 August to 3
September 2015.
The theme of the 2015 Conference is: Making History: Shaping the Future. It is an
opportunity to explore how far policing has come in responding to women in the community
and the women in its ranks and supporting roles. The Conference will highlight areas that
still need to be addressed and explore the challenges policing for women will face in the
future.
The Conference will build on previous Australian Women and Policing Conferences and
continue to develop the body of knowledge around how policing is being improved for
women, in particular: policing for women in the Pacific women’s leadership within policing
and the leadership role that women in policing play in their local communities in Australia
and globally innovative responses to violence against women. The Conference will coincide
with New South Wales Police Force’s 100 years of women in policing celebrations.
