“…Extending the reach of evidence-based policing Mazeika et al (2010) in a review of police research trends, found the highest proportion of published studies were about policing strategies (37%), with fewer than 5% concerned with organizational change, training, recruitment or retention respectively. As discussed above, there have been several calls for broadening the base of EBP (Bullock and Tilley, 2009;Greene, 2014;Knutsson and Tompson, 2017;Lum and Koper, 2017;Thacher, 2001;Van Dijk et al, 2016).…”

“…Fundamental to the agenda of change is a paucity of research in policing of non-operational practices (Mazeika et al., 2010). Police research tends towards a tradition of ‘normative research’ focused on police procedures, tactics, and strategies (Crank, 2003: 188), producing ‘instrumental knowledge’ that supports ‘technical rationality’ (Schön, 1983: 21; Thacher, 2001: 389).…”

This paper explores disembodiment and policing in an Australian police jurisdiction – we call ‘Conundrum ’. This narrative research on police education uncovers the tensions and disembodied practices of police and the daily dilemmas that police experience working in the new era of professional policing. Police officers’ educational experiences are at odds with contemporary notions and practices of lifelong learning, workplace learning and reflexive practice. This research draws attention to the inherent difficulty that police face today as they learn to ‘manage their emotions’ in response to different forms of risk, uncertainty and instability, underscored by the longstanding ‘habitus’ in the ‘field’ of policing. This emotional work impacts on police identity and is a cost to the ‘self’ as police increasingly disconnect from their work, their colleagues and themselves. We argue that an urgent review of police education and training in Australia is needed to move from the practice-based reproduction of cultural and applied learning traditions to a more holistic education program that focuses on metacognition, reflexive practice and critical cognition.

“…Muller (2002), Myhill (2007) and Walker (2007) argue that police accountability has regained more scholarly and policy attention. However, Mazeika et al (2010) state that, despite fairly constant attention on police accountability as a research subject, there was a small decrease in attention on the topic in 2006–2007. Recently, the debate concerning police accountability has focused mainly on external oversight (FC Harris, 2013).…”

The method and results of a scoping review, based on the principles of a systematic literature review, on police accountability are presented with the aim of providing an overview of the characteristics of empirical research on the topic and the main themes covered in this research tradition. To our knowledge, no systematically conducted review has been undertaken although one could help to identify gaps in the (empirical) literature and give insights into the themes studied in this regard. Three main themes were discovered during the review; aside from police accountability as such, many studies related to police integrity or, to a lesser extent, historical facts concerning police accountability or integrity. Two of the most striking findings were the low number of empirical studies included in our thematic synthesis and the limited amount of methodological information reported in these publications. As such, the authors recommend more empirical research regarding police accountability and, more generally, sufficient methodological reporting when writing a publication.
