The article examines such significant factors that affect the effectiveness of criminal procedural control over crime and the observance of the rights, freedoms and interests of the individual, such as the recent changes in the socio-economic and spiritual and moral foundations of society, structural and dynamic indicators of crime. The author’s position on the need for active formation of key institutions of civil society and the use of their potential in combating crime is stated. The issue of revising the system of criteria for assessing the results of the activities of law enforcement and judicial bodies, expanding and deepening scientific and practical research on the problems of guaranteeing the rights and interests of participants in criminal proceedings was considered. The question of how the authorities organize and ensure the functioning of the law enforcement system, which directly carries out activities to supervise the implementation of laws, by all participants in the process of combating crime, to investigate committed crimes, to conduct operational-search activities to identify, disclose and prevent impending crimes, as well as for the execution of sentences and the re-education of criminals were studied.","PeriodicalId":46586,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77417724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This volume of the Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice brings together research inspired by his legacy. Morselli's interests were diverse; we selected manuscripts revolving around two major themes in his career: the development of criminal achievement as a conceptual and empirical framework, and the innovative use of social network data in new contexts of criminological interest, such as the role of social networks in individuals' relative optimism towards desistance, or in future victimization.Résumé:Les recherches du professeur Carlo Morselli ont amené de nombreux chercheurs à travers le monde à tenir compte de la réussite criminelle et des réseaux sociaux dans leurs propres travaux.

Fortin, Sarah Paquette","doi":"10.3138/cjccj.2021-0030","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/cjccj.2021-0030","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Dealing with use of excessive force by the police has historically been a struggle in the United States. The 1992 protests in Los Angeles following the death of Rodney King are one example of public response to an instance of excessive use of force. More recently, the death of George Floyd led to widespread protests against excessive use of force and the current model of policing in general. The increasing popularity and availability of social media over the past decade have made it a powerful tool for mobilizing citizens and provided a place for protest. This study looks at the negative reactions of social media users to police use of force in the United States based on analysis of two significant instances: the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. Using quantitative, forensic linguistics, and advanced topic modelling methodologies, three prominent aspects of policing identified in the literature – excessive use of force, racial bias, and legitimacy – were analysed from 14 days of tweets following each event. Analyses deal with trends in frequency, case similarities, and topic modelling. The results show important differences in negative online reaction to the two events, particularly regarding excessive use of force: those following the Floyd death focused on the technicalities of the intervention, while those responding to the Blake death focused on its aftermath. Analysis of tweets related to racial bias and police legitimacy revealed similar patterns, with users repeating criticisms such as differential treatment according to race and the need for changes in the policing model. The results also suggest that perceptions of excessive use of force and racial bias are deeply intertwined. Implications and issues are discussed. Résumé:La question de l’usage excessif de la force par la police est un problème de longue date aux États-Unis. En 1992, à Los Angeles, les manifestations qui ont suivi la mort de Rodney King sont un exemple de réaction populaire devant un cas d’usage excessif de la force et, plus récemment, la mort de George Floyd a suscité un peu partout des manifestations contre la brutalité policière et le modèle de maintien de l’ordre en vigueur. Depuis dix ans, la popularité et la disponibilité croissantes des médias sociaux ont fait de ceuxci de puissants outils de mobilisation citoyenne, ainsi qu’un lieu où manifester. Cette étude porte sur les réactions négatives des utilisateurs et des utilisatrices des médias sociaux devant l’usage de la force aux États-Unis. Elle se fonde sur deux cas révélateurs : la mort de George Floyd à Minneapolis et les coups de feu tirés sur Jacob Blake à Kenosha. Trois revendications contre la police déterminées par la littérature sur le sujet – l’usage excessif de la force, les préjugés raciaux et la légitimité – sont analysées ici au moyen de méthodes quantitatives, de la linguistique forensique et de la modélisation thématique avancée, dans un corpu","PeriodicalId":46586,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice","volume":"64 1","pages":"53 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49578724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Th e deaths of George Floyd (Minneapolis, Minnesota), Michael Brown (Ferguson, Missouri), Sammy Yatim (Toronto, Ontario), and Alain Magloire (Montreal, Quebec) sparked social unrest and fuelled political movements such as Black Lives Matter throughout the world. While important observations, discussions, commentaries, and questions followed these events, one common characteristic, in both traditional and social media, is the tendency to oversimplify situations without relying on contextual and empirical evidence. Coverage of events now also crosses borders easily to become international news while legal situations – and thus, the supporting frame for analysis – remain national. Floyd’s and Brown’s deaths resonated outside the United States and aff ected our understanding of police interventions, but ultimately they happened in a specifi c country with specifi c issues. We might live in a globalizing world, but the police remain a state or national entity, not a global one. Still, a wide range of scientifi c studies supported by empirical evidence can provide helpful knowledge to the debates, regardless of their geographic focus.","PeriodicalId":46586,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice","volume":" ","pages":"1 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47844367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the use of BWC footage by mass media has also increased. While such video images can help viewers better understand complex police interventions, there are few studies of the extent to which BWC footage influences audience opinions and interpretations of police work. This article investigates the degree to which news reports of a police use-of-force event are influenced by two potential sources of cognitive bias: camera perspective and the way information about the event is framed. In a study using a three (cellphone, closed-circuit camera, and BWC perspective) by two (neutral and negative frame) experimental design, a total of 634 participants viewed and evaluated a news report of a police use-of-force event. Participant perceptions showed the influence of a BWC perspective bias, but no framing effect was found. Participants who watched the BWC footage were more likely to see the intervention as questionable or blameworthy and to believe that officers had no reasonable grounds for intervening. Results also suggest that the BWC perspective bias can be exacerbated or mitigated by the way information is presented in a news report.Résumé:Au cours des dernières années, l’utilisation de caméras portatives par les corps policiers a monté en flèche. Il y a donc aussi eu une augmentation de l’utilisation d’images de caméras portatives par les médias de masse. De telles images vidéo peuvent aider les auditeurs à mieux comprendre des interventions policières complexes, mais il y a eu peu d’études sur la mesure dans laquelle elles peuvent influencer les opinions et les interprétations du public sur le travail de la police. Le présent article examine à quel degré les reportages sur les cas de recours à la force par la police sont influencés par deux sources potentielles de biais cognitif : la perspective de la caméra et la façon dont l’information sur le cas est cadrée. Dans une étude à devis expérimental de trois (perspective de téléphone cellulaire, caméra en circuit fermé et caméra portative) par deux (cadrage neutre et négatif), un total de 634 participants ont vu et évalué un reportage sur un cas de recours à la force par la police. Les perceptions des participants ont montré l’influence d’un biais de perspective avec la caméra portative, mais le cadrage n’a pas semblé avoir d’effet. Les participants qui ont vu les images de la caméra portative étaient plus susceptibles de juger que l’intervention était discutable ou répréhensible et de croire que l’intervention des agents n’avait pas de justification raisonnable. Les résultats suggèrent aussi que le biais de perspective lié à la caméra portative peutêtre exacerbé ou mitigé par la façon dont l’information est présentée dans un reportage.","PeriodicalId":46586,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice","volume":"64 1","pages":"82 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42534217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample used in this study consists of 185 cases of child sexual abuses perpetrated by juveniles. The first step of this study uses latent class analysis to explore the relationship between each step of the crime-commission process. As a second step, additional variables were used to test the external validity of our model. Results suggest that there are three different criminal event patterns: familiar sexually non-intrusive, familiar sexually intrusive, and stranger sexually non-intrusive. Moreover, we found that specific victimological characteristics were associated with each of the patterns.

We describe some of the potential benefi ts that would be associated with such a database, including the fact that it would enhance police transparency and accountability, while also increasing our understanding of when and why force is used and what strategies may be useful for reducing inappropriate applications of force. We also highlight some of the challenges we think would be encountered, including mandating nationwide participation, overcoming resistance from the police community, establishing sensible case inclusion criteria, and standardizing data collection. While these are significant challenges, we believe not only that they are possible to overcome but that doing so will provide real value to Canadian society.","PeriodicalId":46586,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice","volume":" ","pages":"-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42318561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on an analysis of 85 press releases, press conferences, and media interviews aft er police shootings in Canada spanning 2010–2020, we analyse narrative techniques used in police communications. Contributing to literature on police image management, we examine patterns in these communications, and we also identify silences and absences. We argue police press conferences and press releases after police shootings are less oriented toward misinformation or agenda-setting and more toward risk aversion. Sixty-two percent of communications in our sample used “euphemisms,” which obfuscate elements of use of force, while 31% of communications were “silent” and provided no justification for or information on the shootings. For these reasons, these communications may contribute to a sense of injustice felt by families of the victims of police shootings. Our findings may give pause to police administrators and media liaison offi cers who should consider what message such risk-averse communications send to families of victims, as well as to the public.
