Today's police agencies are in a period of both crisis and reform as they try to improve their ability to deliver public safety to citizens in ways that are effective, legitimate, and sustainable. Evidence-based policing offers one such solution - an approach which emphasises the value that research can bring to police officers and, by extension, the public they serve.However, evidence-based policing is not just about the process of understanding and evaluating police practices. It is also about translating and using that knowledge in daily police activities. This unique book examines the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of various police practices and provides tools to help turn research into practice. Part I gives a practitioner's definition of evidence-based policing, a primer on how to judge and interpret research findings, and a review of the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix, a tool for translating research on police crime control interventions. In Part II the authors review the breadth of knowledge about policing interventions for people, places, communities, and technology, focusing on how to optimize operations based on this information. Tools and ideas that can assist in implementing evidence-based practices into patrol, investigations, supervision, management, crime analysis, and leadership are provided in Part III. Finally, in Part IV the authors speak to researchers about how they might continue to work with police agencies to advance evidence-based policing.

Rättegångsbalken innehåller ett flertal olika straffprocessuella tvångsmedel som an-vänds i brottsutredande syfte och för att man ska kunna få till stånd en rättegång vid misstanke om brott. Mest känt är troligen polisens rätt att gripa en person vilket i sin förlängning kan leda till anhållande och häktning. Som andra exempel kan nämnas reseförbud, kvarstad, beslag, husrannsakan, kroppsvisitation och kroppsbesiktning. Utöver detta finns även hemliga tvångsmedel. Till dessa räknas hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation, hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation, hemlig kameraövervakning och hemlig rumsavlyssning. Då en utredning inleds vet man ofta inte vem som har begått brottet, men man kan ha mer eller mindre starka misstankar. Styrkan i misstanken, misstankegraden, styr möjligheten att använda sig av de ovan nämnda tvångsmedlen. I denna åttonde upplaga har jag beaktat lagändringar, JO-fall och rättsfall fram till den 1 januari 2026. De lagändringar som har skett har först och främst ägt rum i 24, 27 och 28 kap. Utöver detta har jag väsentligt utökat avsnittet om lag (2007:979) om åtgärder för att förhindra vissa särskilt allvarliga brott. Möjligheterna att använda hemliga och preventiva tvångsmedel är många gånger avgörande för att förebygga, förhindra och utreda allvarlig brottslighet. Det gäller oavsett hur gammal gärningsmannen är. För att stärka de brottsbekämpande myndigheternas möjligheter att bekämpa allvarlig brottslighet som begås av barn har i LUL införts bestämmelser som tillåter att hemliga tvångsmedel får användas för att utreda vissa allvarliga brott där den skäligen misstänkte är under 15 år. Lagändringarna trädde i kraft den 1 oktober 2025. Även dessa regler i LUL behandlas i denna upplaga. Juris doktor Gösta Westerlund – före detta universitetslektor vid Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet och före detta huvudlärare vid Polishögskolan i Sörentorp förklarar i denna bok bestämmelserna och hur de ska tillämpas. Boken har skrivits på ett sådant sätt, att den ska kunna användas av elever på våra polishögskolor, yrkesverksamma poliser, civila utredare inom polisen men även av andra verk-samma inom rättsväsendet samt inte minst av en kunskapstörstande allmänhet. Westerlund, som skrivit flera uppskattade läroböcker, kan som få förena den praktiska verkligheten med rättsvetenskaplig noggrannhet och skärpa.

Den här boken tar sig an frågan om polisens samhällsuppdrag och hur målen för polisen uppfattas av olika parter. Boken handlar om polisen som den som både öppnar och stänger dörren till rättsväsendet, liksom hur polisens auktoritet utövas, vilka maktmedel som brukas och om balansgången mellan legitim kontroll och överkontroll. Sist men inte minst handlar den om hur polisens verksamhet kan eller bör fungera. Polis – vad är det? är en översättning och omarbetning av Liv Finstads bok Hva er politi som gavs ut på norska 2018.Boken vänder sig i första hand till studerande vid polisutbildningen men fungerar även utmärkt som litteratur i andra professionsutbildningar, exempelvis inom kriminologi eller socialt arbete, som leder till yrken som på olika sätt samverkar med polisen. Myndigheter är också en given målgrupp liksom den som bara har ett intresse av att veta mer om polisen i samhället.

Conversation Management is an ethical, effective, and long-standing approach to investigative interviewing that is applicable to any investigative context, whether criminal or civil, based on a commitment to respect for the individual and the principles of successful communication. In the third edition of this highly successful book, the authors have reviewed both the evidence base supporting the approach and the presentation of the content. The result is a significant rewrite of the previous edition with new chapters, new information, and new tools to maximize disclosure by interviewees, now also supported by references and footnotes throughout the text. The text includes explanations of how conversation works and how a working relationship is created; the realities of influencing, persuasion, and negotiation; the process of telling and listening; how people remember and forget offence-related experience; how to assist their remembrance of offence-related detail; and how to ask the right question at the right time in the right way and specific chapters covering interviews with victims, witness and suspects as well as more diverse situations. Investigative Interviewing: The Conversation Management Approach is the definitive textbook for anyone seeking an in depth understanding of investigative interviewing as a subject and Conversation Management as a proven approach.

Gärningsmannaprofilering syftar till att ta reda på vem som har begått ett brott och bygger på antagandet om att gärningspersonens personlighet avspeglas i utförandet av gärningen. I denna bok beskrivs klassiska teorier om gärningsmannaprofilering utifrån psykologisk forskning. Författarna summerar de senaste decenniernas internationella forskning och redogör också för en egenutvecklad profileringsmodell utifrån personlighet, som syftar till att effektivisera framtida förutsägelser och tolkningar av okända gärningspersoners tillvägagångssätt. I modellen kombineras de fem stora personlighetsdragen med skattningar av narcissism och psykopati.Profileringsmodellen illustreras här med hjälp av uppgifter om en redan dömd person - den kvinna som dömdes för det uppmärksammade sommarstugemordet i Arboga 2016. Detta var ett lämpligt val eftersom det finns ett omfattande offentligt material som skildrar henne och som redan har samlats in av andra.Gärningsmannaprofilering riktar sig främst till universitetsstuderande i rättspsykologi och psykologi men är också en kunskapskälla för yrkesverksamma som i sitt arbete möter en rättspsykologisk problematik.

'One of the most incredible and moving books that we've read, ever.' The High Performance Podcast Sitting in the prison classroom each morning, reading the pages in my book, listening to the teacher, I could feel myself slowing down. I had achieved greatness. I had won three Wimbledon titles, two Aussie Opens, the US Open, two Davis Cups, an Olympic gold medal. But where was I now? Either I was some strange exception, a great man surrounded by lesser men, or I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in. And if I did, why was that? Wimbledon champion at 17, six-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one – Boris Becker achieved unparalleled success, fame and wealth throughout his tennis career. But in April 2022, everything changed when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison over bankruptcy charges.Inside offers a raw and unflinching account of Becker’s life behind bars, detailing the brutal realities of surviving two of the UK’s toughest prisons and the unexpected lessons in resilience that kept him going. Stripped of fame and fortune, Becker faced an entirely new world as inmate A2923EV, where nothing came easy.More than a story of survival, Inside is about profound transformation. With brutal honesty, Becker reflects on the choices that led him to prison, confronting his mistakes and the price of fame. Through new relationships, hard-learned survival skills and the philosophy of Stoicism, he embarks on the difficult journey of rebuilding his life and shattered reputation. This is the story of a legend who lost it all – how he survived, started again and found light in life’s darkest moments. 'It's a memoir, it's a thriller, it's a confessional, it's therapy. This book is unbelievable, [and] beautifully written. It couldn't be a crazier story…it's so gripping, I could not put it down.' Chris Evans

Allt började när en vän till Thérèse Juel blev dömd för ett sexualbrott. När hon granskade fakta i målet upptäckte hon mängder av motsägelser och orimligheter. Det skapade ett engagemang som 2010 resulterade i boken Fällda för sexövergrepp – om rättsfall i Sverige. Nu nio år senare kommer här hennes uppföljare.I den här boken tar Thérèse Juel upp ?era kända fall och ger läsaren en annan inblick än den som media tidigare gett.I kapitlet med SOS-sjuksköterskan som inte skickade ambulans visar hon att det fanns ?era som hade kunnat skicka ambulans men det var bara den i media kände SOS-sjuksköterskan som blev uthängd som syndabock.Ett annat kapitel handlar om processen mot den så kallade Kulturpro?len, men här skriver Thérèse Juel om fallet sett ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv.Efter att ha beviljats resning friades 2018 den tidigare morddömde Esa Teittinen, men hur gick det till när hovrätten överprövade målet? Thérèse Juel var där och berättar om rättegången ur ett personligt perspektiv. Om Thérèse Under närmare 29 år frilansade Thérèse Juel på Sveriges Radio och gjorde olika program och inslag i samtliga kanaler. Som frilansjournalist har hon även skrivit artiklar för både dagspress som välkända veckotidningar.Under de senaste 14 åren har Thérèse fördjupat sig i den svenska rättssäkerheten och gjort sig känd för sin strid för oskyldigt dömda, främst i sexualbrottmål, men också i mordmål. Hon tar sällan ställning i skuldfrågor men vill att diskussionen om rättssäkerhet och hur domstolar värderar bevis ges ett större utrymme.Sedan 2014 är hon återkommande gästföreläsare vid Juridiska fakulteten, Uppsala Universitet i ämnet rättssäkerhet. Sagt om Thérèse»Thérèse Juel skriver bra och koncist. Hon har i både bokform och debattartiklar, bland annat i Dagens Juridik, ställt viktiga frågor som rättssäkerhet och bevis värdering på sin spets – frågor som annars inte brukar få särskilt stor plats i den svenska debatten men som förtjänar betydligt större utrymme.«Stefan Wahlberg, chefredaktör för Dagens Juridik »Den mest uppskakande text jag läst om det svenska rättssamhället. Och jag har läst mycket i ämnet.«Jan Guillou i Aftonbladet om »Fällda för sexövergrepp – om rättsfall i Sverige«

The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the last several decades, America's cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other-an enemy.Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit-which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Nixon's War on Drugs, Reagan's War on Poverty, Clinton's COPS program, the post-9/11 security state under Bush, Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations empowered police forces, always at the expense of civil liberties. And under Trump, these powers were expanded in terrifying new ways, as evidenced by the tanks and overwhelming force that met the Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020.In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians' ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize 2023A Telegraph Book of the YearA Times, Spectator and Prospect Book of the YearOne of the great contemporary historians of France on one of the most controversial periods of twentieth-century French historyFew images more shocked the French population during the Occupation than the photograph of Marshal Philippe Pétain - the great French hero of the First World War - shaking the hand of Hitler on 20 October 1940. In a radio speech after this meeting, Pétain told the French people that he was 'entering down the road of collaboration'. He ended with the words: 'This is my policy. My ministers are responsible to me. It is I alone who will be judged by History.' Five years later, in July 1945, the hour of judgement - if not yet the judgement of History - arrived. Pétain was brought before a specially created High Court to answer for his conduct between the signing of the armistice with Germany in June 1940 and the Liberation of France in August 1944.Julian Jackson uses Pétain's three-week trial as a lens through which to examine the central crisis of twentieth-century French history - the defeat of 1940, the signing of the armistice and Vichy's policy of collaboration - what the main prosecutor Mornet called 'four years to erase from our history'. As head of the Vichy regime in the Second, Pétain became one of France's most notorious public figures, and the lightening-rod for collective guilt and retribution immediately after the Second World War. In France on Trial Jackson blends politics and personal drama to explore how different national factions sought to try to claim the past, or establish their interpretation of it, as a way of claiming the present and future.

Can punishments ever meaningfully be proportioned in severity to the seriousness of the crimes for which they are imposed? A great deal of attention has been paid to the general justification of punishment, but the thorny practical questions have received significantly less. Serious analysis has seldom delved into what makes crimes more or less serious, what makes punishments more or less severe, and how links are to be made between them. In Of One-eyed and Toothless Miscreants, Michael Tonry has gathered together a distinguished cast of contributors to offer among the first sustained efforts to specify with precision how proportionality can be understood in relation to the implementation of punishment. Each chapter examines scholarly and lay thinking about punishment of people convicted of crimes with particular emphasis on "making the punishment fit the crime." The contributors challenge the most prevalent current theories and emphasize the need for a shift away from the politicized emotionalism of recent decades. They argue that theories that coincided with mass incarceration and rampant injustice to countless individuals are evolving in ways that better countenance moving toward more humane and thoughtful approaches.Written by many of the leading thinkers on punishment, this volume dissects previously undeveloped issues related to considerations of deserved punishment and provides new ways to understand both the severities of punishment and the seriousness of crime.

Each society that consumes alcohol has its own unique drinking culture, and each society deals with the drunken products of that culture in particular ways. As Mark D. West shows in Drunk Japan, the distinctive features of Japanese drinking culture and its intoxication-related laws are not simply interesting in and of themselves, but offer a unique window into Japanese society more broadly. Drawing upon close readings of over 5,000 published Japanese court opinions on drunkenness-related cases, he provides a rich description of Japanese alcohol consumption, drinking culture, and intoxication. West reveals that the opinions not only show patterns in what, where, and why people drink in Japan, but they also focus to a surprising extent on characteristics (including occupation, wealth, gender, and education) of individual litigants. By examining the consistencies and contradictions that emerge from the cases, West finds that, at its most extreme, the Japanese legal system is hyper-individualized. Focusing on individual people sometimes leads courts to ignore forensic evidence, to rely on post-arrest drinking tests, and to calculate prison sentences based on factors such as a mother's promise to help her adult child abstain. Cumulatively, the colorful and often tragic cases West uses not only illuminate the complexity of the culture, but they also reveal an entirely new vision of Japanese law and a comprehensive picture of alcohol use in Japanese society writ large.
