“…Not only that, this study shows that police feel a great sense of responsibility in apprehending perpetrators of crimes, adding a significant moral and ethical dimension to their work (Westmarland & Conway, 2020). This responsibility creates additional pressure for police officers, as they recognize that successful handling of cases not only determines the success of the law but can also have a significant impact on victims and society (Martin, 2021). This awareness of moral responsibility forms an integral aspect of the identity of the police profession, providing an ethical foundation for their actions in the performance of daily duties.…”

Investigation of criminal cases involving officers who have experienced trauma, such as sexual violence against children, has the potential to experience Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD). Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD) is a stress disorder that can arise from interactions with someone who experienced a traumatic event. Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD) can arise due to one of the triggers, namely emotional contagion, where empathy is often involved in handling cases involving women and children. The study examines the forms of emotional contagion, what factors can cause Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD), and how to overcome or prevent the onset of Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD). The study was conducted on four police officers who were investigators of sexual violence cases against children in the PPA Unit of Malang District Police. The research uses phenomenological qualitative methods with descriptive data results. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews and processed using thematic analysis techniques—data analysis using coding interview results. Data validity using credibility tested, with triangulation techniques of data sources and member checking. This study found that forms of emotional contagion exist in investigators, such as pity, feel sorrow, sadness, crying, and anger. In addition, several symptoms shown by each subject lead to symptoms of Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD), namely intrusive, arousal and avoidance symptoms. It was also found that there was a uniqueness in each subject in how to overcome the onset of Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD). STSD in the police has the potential to affect the accuracy in investigating the cases they handle, which then affects law enforcement in the community KEY WORDS police officer; sexual violence; secondary traumatic stress disorderr Copyright ©2023.

The overarching study is being delivered by the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) Strategic Analysis Support Contract (SASC) with the Global Strategic Partnership (GSP), a consortium of UK and international research organisations providing strategic analysis and academic support to the DCDC within the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). This paper is intended to capture the findings of a second phase of the study and has been drafted on the assumption that it will be read by an audience with some familiarity with C2 and the preceding paper in the series. Equally, it is intended to feed into the other three papers in the series and therefore stops short of providing fulsome coverage of all aspects of thinking about C2 in the future, including the development of concrete recommendations.The GSP is led by RAND Europe, part of the RAND Corporation, an independent, not-for-profit research institute that aims to improve policy and decision making through objective research and analysis. RAND's clients include Allied governments, militaries, inter-and non-governmental organisations, and others with a need for rigorous, independent, interdisciplinary analysis.

“…Ongoing debates regarding the professionalisation of police have focused on the effectiveness of police academy training, particularly in relation to how police training can increase police officer awareness of police accountability, improve effective response and interaction, enhance public perceptions of police legitimacy, and develop ongoing professionalism of recruits (and officers) in terms of innovative policing practices (see Loftus & Price, 2016; Martin, 2022; Stone & Travis, 2011). In Australia, the professionalisation of police debate centres around whether recruits should enter policing with a tertiary level education, thereby moving policing into a graduate profession.…”

“Insufficient guidance and a lack of preparation”: Police academy training and the reality of police work

Police academy training is the foundation of police performance. In Australia, police academy programs are usually delivered internally by police officers and are underpinned by traditional policing practices and acceptable methods of response deemed suitable. There is little research, however, which determines whether Australian police academies adequately prepare recruits to conduct police work or prime recruits for the reality of policing. Analysing data collected from 46 constables working in one of the largest Australian police organisations, this research offers original insight into a previously under-research area regarding the effectiveness of police academy training in preparing recruits for general-duties police work.
