“…The small body of literature has incorporated a range of substantive issues that include evaluation of police training on diversity and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community (Israel et al, 2017; Israel et al, 2016; Israel, Harkness, Delucio, Ledbetter, & Avellar, 2014; Miles-Johnson, 2016), prejudice-motivated crime (Miles-Johnson, Mazerolle, Pickering, & Smith, 2018), human trafficking (Renzetti, Bush, Castellanos, & Hunt, 2015), child abuse (G. T. Patterson, 2004), domestic violence (Oehme, Prost, & Saunders, 2016), and sexual assault (Darwinkel, Powell, & Tidmarsh, 2015; Goodman-Delahunty & Graham, 2011; Lonsway, Welch, & Fitzgerald, 2001; Sleath & Bull, 2012; M.…”

Police perceptions of a victim’s self-presentation style can have an impact on secondary victimization, case processing, and public safety. Trauma survivors may present to police with flat or restricted affect, emotional numbing, and disjointed recollections. Often, police personnel have misperceived manifestations of trauma as indicators of reliability and credibility. Using a trend design, this study employed a sample of 979 police from one of the five largest U.S. cities to examine the relation between trauma-informed training and endorsement of trauma misperceptions. Multivariate ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models were estimated and revealed mean adherence to trauma misperceptions was significantly lower among participants who had completed training, controlling for demographic, occupational, and attitudinal variables. Implications and future research are discussed.

“…Promising work in the arenas of implicit bias and fair and impartial policing advance efforts to curb law enforcement personnel's role in escalation of conflict and use of deadly force (Fridell, 2017). Diversity training for law enforcement personnel has often focused on the development of concrete behaviors such as intercultural communication (e.g., Cornett-DeVito & McGlone, 2000) and affirming tactics (e.g., Israel et al, 2016). Intercultural communication includes skills when working with diverse populations, including expression of empathy and the ability to adapt to others' needs (Cornett-DeVito & McGLone, 2000).…”

True justice is equitable. Counseling psychologists, through their skills, knowledge, and values, can be a powerful force in reforming a system that oppresses marginalized groups to one that is just. In this paper, we focus on three major aspects of the justice system: laws and the courts, law enforcement, and detention and corrections, and we further describe injustice in these three areas. We then use critical race theory and counseling psychology perspectives to develop a framework to provide counseling psychologists with practical strategies to transform inequities. Such strategies include advocating to change unjust laws, filling the research gap for effective and humane practices, developing evidence-based programs, and providing leadership and training.

“…Agency cost-cutting and the dissolution of many LGBTIQ+ liaison units developed to meet the needs of LGBTIQ+ people have also contributed to a lack of understanding and increased harassment of LGBTIQ+ people in the United States and in Australia (Labbe-DeBose, 2009;Miles-Johnson, 2013a). While many US police organizations implement awareness training programs regarding police response to minority group members (e.g., Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, New York, Texas, and West Virginia), critics argue that these programs lack information regarding the specific needs of LGBTIQ+ people and focus more on racial and ethnic minority groups (Israel et al, 2016).…”

Compensating for Sexual Identity: How LGB and Heterosexual Australian Police Officers Perceive Policing of LGBTIQ+ People

Police officers are highly criticized for their differential policing of people categorized by identity. One such group who has experienced differential policing is the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) community. Contributing new knowledge to the extant policing literature regarding intersectional identities of Australian police officers and perceptions of policing, this research applies Social Identity Theory to understand differences between lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender and heterosexual self-identified general-duties police officers ( N = 349) and policing of LGBTIQ+ people. Using an online survey, results suggest the sexual identity of a general-duties police officer does shape perceptions of policing of LGBTIQ+ people. Furthermore, there are distinct differences in the way heterosexual and lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) self-identified officers perceive police engagement with LGBTIQ+ people, with LGB and heterosexual self-identified officers equally compensating for their sexual identity in terms of policing LGBTIQ+ people and distancing themselves from the LGBTIQ+ community.
