Vehicle Marking and Technology for Increased Highway Visibility: A Reference Guide for Decision-Makers [presentation]
"This resource guide serves to provide visual examples of various high-visibility marking schemes that have been applied to the rear and sides of a wide variety of vehicles; automobiles, pickup trucks, utility truck vehicles, SUVs, vans, box-type trucks, and even larger-size service vehicles. These service-oriented vehicles may be found positioned anywhere within the right-of-way of a freeway, highway, roadway, street, bridge, tunnel, etc during the course of their operator's normal work activity. The intent of increased vehicle visibility markings and emergency lighting packages is to make the vehicles more visible and identifiable to the approaching motorist sooner, when the motorist is further away from the marked vehicle. Increased visibility, yielding increased awareness of the presence of the vehicle and quicker recognition of the vehicle will potentially reduce the likelihood of collisions between these vehicles."

Policing in Arab-American Communities after September 11
"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, changed the face of law enforcement in the United States. They also had a great impact on Arab-American communities. This study by the Vera Institute of Justice examines how the changes have affected policing in Arab-American neighborhoods. Many Arab-Americans were troubled by increased government scrutiny of their communities following the terrorist attacks. Indeed, some Arab-American communities said they were more afraid of law enforcement agencies -- especially federal law enforcement agencies -- than they were of acts of hate or violence, despite an increase in hate crimes. They specifically cited fears about immigration enforcement, surveillance and racial profiling. Four significant obstacles to improved relations between police and Arab-American communities emerged: Distrust between Arab- American communities and law enforcement. Lack of cultural awareness among law enforcement officers. Language barriers. Concerns about immigration status and fear of deportation. The study also revealed some promising practices for addressing these obstacles. Although this study focused on Arab-Americans, many of the best practices are consistent with general principles of community policing. The researchers believe they will be useful for improving relations between law enforcement and a wide range of communities, especially geographically concentrated immigrant communities. A more detailed report is available from the Vera Institute of Justice."

Death Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator
"The first thing one must realize is that the word 'system' is a misnomer, when used in the context of death investigation in the United States. There is no 'system' of death investigation that covers the more than 3,000 jurisdictions in this country. No nationally accepted guidelines or standards of practice exist for individuals responsible for performing death-scene investigations. No professional degree, license, certification, or minimum educational requirements exist, nor is there a commonly accepted training curriculum. Not even a common job title exists for the thousands of people who routinely perform death investigations in this country. This report describes a study that focused on the establishment of guidelines for conducting death investigations."

Paving the Way: Lessons Learned in Sentinel Event Reviews
"When bad things happen in a complex system, the cause is rarely a single act, event or slip-up. More often, bad outcomes are 'sentinel events.' A sentinel event is a negative outcome that: [1] Signals underlying weaknesses in a system or process. [2] Is likely the result of compound errors. [3] May, if properly understood, provide important keys to strengthening the system and preventing similar adverse outcomes in the future. Sentinel event reviews (SER) were initially developed as a process for better understanding the causes of industrial accidents. They were later adapted in aviation and in medical environments. The SER process brings all stakeholders to the table on a regular basis to discuss, in a nonblaming way, why a negative outcome or event happened. The overarching goal of SER is to mobilize a routine, culture-changing practice that can lead to increased system reliability and, hence, greater public confidence in a system's legitimacy."

Protecting America's Ports
This report, Protecting America's Ports, by Bruce Taylor and Pat Kaufman describes the "problem and context for port security and identified promising practices based on the expert opinion and experience of port personnel. […] The resulting research offers valuable insights into practices used in a variety of ports. In the future, by building on the findings, researchers will be in a better position to evaluate the effectiveness of the security initiatives. […] Because little was known about the nature of anti-terrorist activities in the nation's ports or which security practices might be worthy of further examination and testing, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) funded the Police Executive Research Forum to identify promising local practices to safeguard America's ports against terrorist attacks. The researchers used an exploratory or descriptive case study methodology to analyze interorganizational relationships in port security operations between 2003 and 2006. Because port security practices have not been evaluated, even with non-rigorous methods, they took a basic qualitative approach to learn what we do not know, gain an elementary understanding of the challenges and create a foundation for future research, which the researchers hope will include traditional evaluation methods, such as quantitative surveys and randomized control trials."

Preventing, Preparing for Critical Incidents in Schools
The article, Preventing, Preparing for Critical Incidents in Schools, by Beth Schuster describes how schools can prevent and prepare for critical incidents such as the most devastating school shooting in U.S. history which took place in Columbine High School in Jefferson, CO. "The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is working to help people who work in and around schools create safe environments for teaching and learning. The Institute develops and distributes tools to aid teachers, administrators, staff and law enforcement in preventing, preparing for and responding to critical incidents in schools. A 2002 study by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education -- funded in part by NIJ -- took a closer look at 37 incidents of targeted school violence in the United States between December 1974 and May 2000. 'Targeted violence' -- a term developed by the Secret Service -- refers to any incident of violence where a known (or knowable) attacker selected a particular target prior to the attack. The study explored the behavior of the student-attackers in the 37 incidents in an effort to identify information that could help communities prevent future school attacks."

Kenosha Gang Project: Preliminary Report
"In December 1986, the Task Force on Gangs commissioned the university of Wisconsin, Parkside to conduct a study on the local gang situation. The main focus of the study was to analyze existing data within tha Kenosha Police Department, the Kenosha County Department of Social services, and the Kenosha Unified School District. The research team also interviewed key people in the community and self-identified gang members. The goal of this study was to provide Kenosha with a better understanding of the local street gang situation. The unique aspect of the Kenosha Gang project was the participation of twelve University of Wisconsin, Parkside students who worked on this research project. To be more specific, the students developed the research design, collected the data, analyzed the data, and contributed to the final report. This project was offered as a sociology course during Spring 1987, and continued through the summer. such a project has provided students with an opportunity to gain 'hands on' experience doing sociological research. Moreover, the students were able to provide the community with a much underutilized resource, which has resulted in considerable savings to the city. The objectives of the Kenosha Gang project were: 1. To tabulate and analyze three existing data bases as they relate to gangs. 2. To interview key people in the community who work with local gang members. 3. To interview self-identified gang members in Kenosha. 4. To provide students with an opportunity to do research and to provide hands on experience in the various aspects of sociological research."

National Data Collection on Police Use of Force
"This report highlights findings from existing research on police use of force. It describes how the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the National Institute of Justice will collect data on police contacts with members of the public that result in the use of force by law enforcement officers. The report responds to Section 210402 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which requires the Attorney General to 'acquire data about the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers' and to 'publish an annual summary of the data acquired. . . .'"

Police Use of Force, Tasers and Other Less-Lethal Weapons
"This study looked at injuries that occur to law enforcement officers and citizens during use-of-force events. Most applications of force are minimal, with officers using their hands, arms or bodies to push or pull against a suspect to gain control. Officers are also trained to use various other force techniques and weapons to overcome resistance. These include less-lethal weapons such as pepper spray, batons or conducted energy devices (CEDs) such as Tasers. They can also use firearms to defend themselves or others against threats of death or serious bodily injuries. The study's most significant finding is that, while results were not uniform across all agencies, the use of pepper spray and CEDs can significantly reduce injuries to suspects and the use of CEDs can decrease injuries to officers. The researchers assert that all injuries must be taken seriously. When police in a democracy use force and injury results, concern about police abuse arises, lawsuits often follow and the reputation of the police is threatened. Injuries also cost money in medical bills for indigent suspects, workers' compensation claims for injured officers or damages paid out in legal settlements or judgments."

Violent Repeat Victimization: Prospects and Challenges for Research and Practice [audio]
In this audio presentation titled "Violent Repeat Victimization: Prospect and Challenges from Research and Practice," Dr. Janet Lauitsen, from the University of Missouri at St. Louis, presents on existing research, repeat victimization and the impact it has on violent crime rates. "Dr. Lauritsen summarizes existing research on repeat violent victimization, both here in the United States and abroad. She provides new findings from the National Crime Victimization Survey about the potential impact that reducing repeat victimization might have on rates of violence in the U.S. She discusses possible factors that can be used to predict whether victimization is likely to be repeated and suggest how such information can inform policy and practice. She also discusses several factors, such as persistent exposure to offenders, that appear to be unique to repeat victimization and most relevant to developing effective policies and practices.We also captured an interview with Dr. Lauritsen in which she discusses in three short segments: [1] What is the National Crime Victimization Survey? [2] Why is it so difficult to predict the likelihood of repeat victimization? [3] How should victim service providers be evaluated? This presentation requires Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.235. The duration of the presentation is approximately 1:25:18.

Second Annual Conference on Law Enforcement Technology for the 21st Century: Conference Report
"Technologies can provide new options for law enforcement agencies seeking ways to reduce the use of violent or lethal force in confronting uncooperative suspects. Furthermore, new technologies are essential to assist law enforcement in maintaining at least some parity with the methods criminals employ in trying to escape detection and avoid apprehension. This second Law Enforcement Technology Conference was designed to generate and illuminate discussion on core issues; to continue a strong dialog and partnership among law enforcement, industry, and government; and to facilitate the goal of bringing the criminal justice community into the 21st century. The conference considered a host of law enforcement issues-liability, public safety, business opportunities, technology needs, technology as a force multiplier, technology affordability, government responsibility, and opportunities to leverage research and development. In addition, the program highlighted technology achievements since the first conference and examined the movement of technology to the marketplace, including production and marketing, creative financing, and the role of government agencies."

Technology Assessment Program: Hand-Held Aerosol Tear Gas Weapons
"This document, NIJ [National Institute of Justice] Standard-0110.00, Hand-Held Aerosol Tear Gas Weapons, is an equipment standard developed by the Law Enforcement Standards Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards. It is produced as part of the Technology Assessment Program of the National Institute of Justice. A brief description of the program appears on the inside front cover. This standard is a technical document that specifies performance and other requirements equipment should qeet to satisfy the needs of criminal justice agencies for high quality service. Purchasers can use the test methods described in this standard themselves to determine whether i particular piece of equipment meets the essential requirements, or they may have the tests conducted on their behalf by a qualified testing laboratory. Procurement officials may also refer to this standard in their purchasing documents and require that equipment offered for purchase meet the requirements. Compliance with the requirements of the standard may be attested to by an independent laboratory or guaranteed by the vendor. Because this NIJ standard Is designed as a procurement aid, it is necessarily highly technical. For those who seek general guidance concerning the selection and application of law enforcement equipment, user guides have also been published. The guides explain in nontechnical language how to select equipment capable of the performance required by an agency."

Using the Private Sector to Deter Crime
"Since 1965, the share of gross domestic product (GDP) devoted to the U.S. criminal justice system has more than doubled. Yet the amount of crime reported to the police is near an all-time high and the amount of violent crime reported is at an all-time high. Perhaps it is time to consider turning more of the criminal justice burden over to the more efficient, innovative private sector, which already plays an important part in the system. [...] This study analyzes ways to expand the role of the private sector to reduce crime and lessen the burden of criminal justice for taxpayers. The debate over crime has been in a rut for decades, with conservatives emphasizing tough policies and liberals emphasizing soft remedies and improved economic opportunities. Privatizing the criminal justice system on an incremental basis is a win-win solution: the innovation and productivity of private enterprise can reduce crime, reduce taxes and improve the protection of civil liberties."

Risk Factors and Indicators Associated with Radicalization to Terrorism in the United States: What Research Sponsored by the National Institute of Justice Tells US
"Since its creation in 2012, the National Institute of Justice's Domestic Radicalization to Terrorism program has sponsored research to support community members and practitioners in (1) identifying individuals who are radicalizing to terrorism and (2) developing prevention and intervention efforts. Although several of these projects are ongoing, important findings regarding the potential risk factors and indicators associated with engaging -- or attempting to engage -- in terrorism have begun to emerge. As many of these findings were based on analyses that compared individuals who engaged or attempted to engage in terrorism with those who did not, there is increasingly strong evidence that these risk factors and indicators may help practitioners to distinguish between individuals who are more or less likely to attempt to conduct a terrorist attack, as well as provide a foundation for prevention and intervention programs. [...] Taken together, these findings again suggest that efforts that focus on treating mental health issues, improving individuals' employment prospects, and/or helping them to develop and sustain positive relationships may contribute to prevention and intervention efforts. They also provide some evidence that these efforts may need to take into account individuals' personal and political grievances."

Operational Test Bed--Alexandria (OTB-A) Communications Interoperability Gateway Subsystem Operational Test Document
"This document details the results of tests conducted to verify proper operation of a communications interoperability Gateway Subsystem based on an ACU-1000 Intelligent Interconnect System. This Subsystem has been installed at the Alexandria, Virginia, Police Department (APD), and interfaced with the existing communications infrastructure of the APD and other law enforcement and public safety agencies in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., region. The resulting communications interoperability capability allows direct voice over-the-air radio communications among multiple law enforcement agencies that utilize radio systems operating in different frequency bands, or operating within the same frequency band but using incompatible modulation formats or trunking techniques that defeat interoperability. [...] A brief description of the Gateway Subsystem is provided in Section 2. An overview of the tests is provided in Section 3. Section 4 includes a description of the activities that were undertaken in preparation for test execution. A summary of the test results is provided in Section 5. Section 6 includes a description of each test, a narrative of the results of the test, and any changes that were made to the Gateway Subsystem as a result of the test."

Safer Schools: Efforts to Improve School Climate in Virginia
From the Webpage: "Violence in school is relatively rare, though community perceptions of violence in school may not reflect this fact. That being said, nearly 71% of all schools did report at least one case of violent crime during the 2017-2018 school year. Administrators and communities are working hard to address the root causes of school violence to create safer schools. Time after time, studies have demonstrated that school climate is critical to school safety and violence prevention. These findings have resulted in the desire for many states to measure the characteristics of school climate with empirical data in order to better understand trends and improve the environment for their students and staff. [...] Researchers from the University of Virginia have been working with the Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services to develop rigorous survey scales to measure and assess school climate consistently over time. The surveys, which were administered over four alternating years to middle and high school stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, staff, and administrators), helped researchers better understand the relationship between the climate of a school and its overall safety. The researchers used the data to better inform stakeholders and to help formulate future surveys aimed at improving the Virginia educational system."

Bomb Squads: Local Preparedness for Global Problems
"Faced with a terrorist movement that went global several years ago, bomb squad commanders around the world have come to realize that the days of localized threats are over. In response, several agencies joined to host an Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Commanders Summit in Denver, Colo. Twenty-five U.S. bomb squad commanders and 10 of their non-U.S. counterparts who participate in bilateral research and development (R&D) programs with U.S. agencies attended the event on Sept. 23-25, 2009. The event was hosted by the National Institute of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, the Combating Terrorism Technology Support Office-Technical Support Working Group, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the National Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board (NBSCAB) and NIJ's [National Institute of Justice] Weapons and Protective Systems Technologies Center of Excellence. Participants brought with them examples of the technical and tactical challenges they have faced and the solutions they have developed so that attendees could share the knowledge required to defeat this global issue. Their efforts will produce a compilation of the challenges and solutions shared plus strategy-related recommendations brought out during breakout sessions focusing on vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), person-borne improvised explosive devices (PBIEDs), homemade explosives, training and intelligence."

Kansas City Gun Experiment
"Discussed in this Brief: An evaluation of a police patrol project to reduce gun violence, driveby shootings, and homicides in a patrol beat where the homicide rate was 20 times higher than the national average. Key issues: Gun crime is rising rapidly nationwide, while other types of crime are falling. The need for strategies to control gun crime is critical. If police could get more guns off the street, would there be fewer gun crimes? This was the question posed by the Kansas City program. Key findings: The results of the evaluation indicate that directed police patrols in gun crime 'hot spots' can reduce gun crimes by increasing the seizures of illegally carried guns."

Sharing Ideas and Resources To Keep Our Nation's Schools Safe (Volume V)
"In this fifth volume of 'Sharing Ideas and Resources To Keep Our Nation's Schools Safe', the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the Justice Technology Information Center (JTIC), part of the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) System, present a new compilation of articles posted on the SchoolSafetyInfo.org website in the past year. While at first glance these articles seem to profile a wide variety of projects and programs, all of them have at least one thing in common. That is, their planners, coordinators and organizers told us the same thing: We want to help other schools. We want them to know what we're doing, and we want them to feel free to call us with questions, to help them start similar projects of their own. In 2017, schools, law enforcement agencies and communities keep on coming together across the United States as they create innovative and groundbreaking solutions to the persistent problems of violence, bullying, security breaches, gang tensions and social media abuse. For the past five years, SchoolSafetyInfo. org has worked toward ensuring that schools and school administrators, local law enforcement agencies and school resource officers know that they're not alone in their quest to make their schools safer, that others are working toward the same goal. We reach out to small rural school districts and to federal government agencies, and we always get the same answer: 'We're taking a proactive approach here, and we want the rest of the country to know about it.'"

New Perspectives in Policing: Toward a Profession of Police Leadership
From the Introduction: "Policing has changed in recent years and continues to evolve. Police agencies must contend with new threats, new technologies, new crimes and new communities, all of which create new challenges and opportunities for policing. The public's expectations have changed, and the public safety arena now includes more stakeholders with whom police must work to tackle some of the endemic and complex issues facing communities. As a result, leading police organizations has changed, too. Police leaders are increasingly expected to run efficient businesses that effectively prevent as well as investigate crime. Thus, the skill sets required of police leaders in shaping their organizations today differ greatly from those required 20 years ago."
