Understanding and assessing school police officers: A conceptual and methodological comment

Although law enforcement officials have been involved in the provision of school security services for the past half century, prior to the 1990s the practice of assigning sworn police officers to serve in schools on a full-time basis was uncommon. Over the past decade the number of police officers serving in schools increased substantially, but few studies of school police officers were conducted and little attention was devoted to understanding the role of school police officers. This article contributes to the literature on school police officers by providing an overview of the development of school police officers, an outline of issues which should be considered in conceptualizing school police officers, and a discussion of methodological issues pertaining to the assessment of school police officers.     

A comment on racial discrimination in prisons in England and Wales

This paper revisits systematically some of the evidence regarding racial discrimination against ethnic minority groups in prisons in the British context. Police racism has been openly discussed after the death of Stephen Lawrence, and the time is ripe to extend the discussion to the Prison Service. Based on limited data from Home Office reports, and some research on race and crime, there is real evidence of direct and indirect racial discrimination in prisons. Although we may find it difficult to admit that many current practices lead to discriminatory outcomes, prima facie some of the black and Asian prisoners reported being treated unfairly in many respects such as racial stereotyping and biased allocation of jobs; they perceived their treatment subjectively as racism. Finally, recommendations on what can and should be done to eradicate racial discrimination and how to research this sensitive topic are discussed.
