The study in Toronto and Ottawa, Canada, found that the video-recording capabilities of the public and the opportunity to disseminate footage of police conduct is profoundly integrated into the consciousness of most rank-and-file officers and has brought about significant behavioural changes including a reduction of police violence.

Examines a population that is often presumed to be less rational, i.e. adolescents from lower socioeconomic families who commit both instrumental (property) and expressive crimes (violence/drugs). It finds that offending behaviour is consistent with rational responses to changes in the perceived costs and benefits of crime.

ORGANISER is a set of behavioural insights about businesses and other organisations which has been derived from a rapid evidence assessment (REA) of the factors which explain organisational behaviours and influence organisational decision-making. The insights are supported by examples of behaviours in practice, questions to consider, and a range of suggested actions designed to prompt thought amongst prospective users. See also Understanding the behavioural drivers of organisational decision-making: rapid evidence assessment.

This rapid evidence assessment was undertaken in response to an identified need to address the following research questions: a) What does the existing evidence tell us about the behavioural factors which explain organisational behaviours and influence organisational decision-making? b) Are any of these insights (i) generalisable across multiple organisation types, and (ii) utilisable by those seeking to influence organisations' behaviours and/or decision-making?. The results were used to produce ORGANISER: a behavioural approach for influencing organisations.

The available research evidence is just one factor influences decision-making at a policy and practice level. Interventions have been developed that are designed to enhance and support the use of research evidence by decision-makers but it is unclear which of these interventions are effective. The intention of this research project is to review the efficacy of these interventions in increasing decision-makers' use of research in various decision arenas. The project conducted two reviews. The first was a systematic review of reviews of the evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) literature to decide what works to increase research use by decision-makers? The second was a scoping review of the research reported in reviews in the broader social science literature to provide insights from social science knowledge to support research use. The findings from the reviews suggest a number of implications for EIDM practice and research. These are discussed for each review in turn before the report concludes with some final suggestions based on combined insights from both reviews.

Some Jurisdictions allow a familial search to be carried out for a relative of an offender when a direct comparison between a DNA profile and an individual cannot be found on a DNA database. This paper discusses two methods of selecting a subset from a database that contains a relative (if present) with a probability that can be controlled.

This document highlights the progress made in ending violence against women and girls since the first call for action in 2010 and describes the goals for the next 4 years. These include a significant reduction in the number of VAWG victims, to be achieved by challenging the deep-rooted social norms, that all services make early intervention and prevention a priority and that women and girls will be able to access the support they need, when they need it, including accommodation-based support for the most vulnerable victims.

An analysis of the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey data demonstrates that there is a disparity in police awareness and attention to different groups of victims. Female victims, those without employment, multiple abuse and victims whose children witness abuse are the most likely to come to the attention of the police. However, young victims, male victims and people in employment are least likely.
