This study examines the individual, organizational, and ecological factors influencing police officers’ adherence to the code of silence, while accounting for their evaluation of the seriousness of each identified behavior. This study collected 353 responses from a sample of police officers receiving in-service training at a national police university in China. Results show salient influences for several individual and ecological factors contributing to the extent of the code of silence and those influences varied based on the type of behavior. In addition, this study lends further support to an emerging body of research suggesting Chinese police display a strong code of silence, although the existence and perpetuation of that code must take into consideration unique cultural practices within China.

This article considers the current decision of the Home Secretary to scrap the 43 police forces and replace them with 12–15 regional strategic police forces. This follows on from the recent report of HMIC, entitled Closing the Gap, published in September 2005, which was to conclude that as currently constituted the police structure for England and Wales was no longer ‘fit for purpose’. Using the ability of police services to provide an effective response to NIM Level 2 crime as a yardstick, HMIC was to find that any force with fewer than 4,000 police officers would be unlikely to be able to provide an adequate response. One consequence of the report and the Home Secretary's response to it has been the request made to all police authorities and forces to present a business case to the Home Office by the end of 2005 identifying the future structure of policing in the region and the pattern of amalgamation they might favour. In the course of this exercise it was to be found that alternatives to amalgamation, collaboration and federation, had both been closed down by the Home Secretary, who has concluded that only the option of amalgamation was now acceptable to his department. Subsequently it was to be learned that a number of factors influencing HMIC's 2005 report obtained that had not been taken into account. These included the decision on the part of HMIC specifically not to include the written section on force collaboration within the final report. Nor, it was also to be discovered, had recognition been given within the report to the expectation that implementation was to be carried out in conjunction with comprehensive Workforce Modernisation. A leaked memorandum from ODPM in late 2005 that local government reform was now under active consideration was also to undermine the earlier assumption on the part of HMIC that no plans for local government reform were currently planned and that unilateral police reorganisation was therefore appropriate.

Introduction: There is overwhelming evidence on the increase of dysfunctional social wellbeing among service members returning from deployment, and this is culminating into wide range of social challenges. The study investigated psycho-demographic factors influencing social wellbeing among mobile police force in Kwara State, Nigeria.. Method: The study adopted a survey method utilizing an ex-post-facto design; purposive sampling technique was used to sample 200 mobile police officers (152 males and 48 females). They completed a questionnaire pack which included-the Post-Deployment Readjustment Inventory Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Mental Health Continuum of Social Wellbeing-Short Form. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, ANOVA and Multiple Regression. Results: Findings showed that emotion regulation has positive relationship with social wellbeing. Also, age, emotion regulations and post-deployment stress as a whole did significantly predict social wellbeing among the sampled participants. However, emotion regulation did independently predict social wellbeing, though marital status did not significantly influence social wellbeing among the participants. Conclusion: The study present emotion regulation as a great predictor of social wellbeing. It is recommended that; emotion regulation should be built into the training and debriefing of mobile police before and after deployment to aid their better social wellbeing.ls.

Average Image Quality

Background and Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine differences in image quality, discrepancy rates, productivity and user experience between remote reporting over Virtual Application (VA) using visually calibrated monitors, and reporting using diagnostic grade workstations in hospital premises. Methods Three specialist accredited radiologists examined and provisionally reported outpatient CT and MR studies over PACS delivered as a VA, using visually calibrated monitors from their homes. They then proceeded to view the same studies within hospital premises and issue a final report. Surveys were filled out for each imaging study. Discrepancies were reviewed and assigned RADPEER scores. Results A total of 51 outpatient CT and MRIs were read. Relative to hospital premise reporting, on a Likert scale of 5 (the higher the better), average image quality was 3.9, speed of loading and image manipulation was 4.4 and productivity was 4.1. Remote reporting user experience did not differ significantly between CT versus MRI studies. Complete concordance rate was 80.4% (41/51) and only one of the studies had a significant discrepancy, which may have been due to extra time given to interpretation. All three radiologists reported factors influencing image display and quality as the top factor impacting remote reporting throughput. Conclusions Remote reporting over VA with visually calibrated monitors for CT and MR can be useful in periods of staffing difficulty to augment on-site radiologists, though attention must be paid to its limitations and policies defined by local leadership with reference to relevant national position

The findings of the Australian National Committee on Violence and the outcomes of a National Symposium on Alcohol and Violence have encouraged an interest in locally based initiatives to deal with the problem of alcohol-related violence in and around licensed premises in Australia. The first initiatives to emerge were in the form of local accords between police and licensees, with varying degrees of input and support from local government, licensing authorities, the various liquor industry associations, and the local community. To date none of these accords has had any legislative backing nor been underpinned by signed agreements, relying solely on the cooperation of the various parties. The early success claimed by the pioneering accords has resulted in their proliferation throughout Australia. This paper reviews three of the better-known accords, the West End Forum Project, the Surfers Paradise Safety Action Project, and the Geelong Local Industry Accord. Some general conclusions are made regarding the factors that are important with respect to the sustainability and efficacy of these approaches.
