The importance of internal procedural justice and trust for policing and police organizations: An interdisciplinary and comparative study. KU Leuven

Stephan Parmentier

Leuven Institute of Criminology

Trust relationships are assumed to improve the working of government institutions. Therefore, their origins and consequences have attracted a lot of scholarly attention. However, this attention is unbalanced: much research has been done on citizens’ trust, hardly any on public officials’ trust. This general pattern strikingly recurs in the literature on the police. In this study I will scrutinize police officers’ trust by developing and ...

Public attitudes towards and experiences with plural policing actors: perceptions of legitimacy and procedural justice Ghent University

Pieter Leloup

Department of Criminology, Criminal Law and Social Law

In addition to the police, various public and private policing actors now perform functions aimed at preventing and combating nuisance and crime. The increased deployment and visibility of private security personnel, community wardens, and stewards in the (semi-)public space has also led to an increase in contact between citizens and such security professionals.

Despite this observation, there is a clear lack of Belgian criminological ...

Digital community work - tools for a well-thought-out practice VIVES

Evelien De Pauw

VIVES Zuid, Sociale innovatie

Digitalization is ubiquitous in our society. The increasing use of social media and other digital tools - accelerated by the corona pandemic - also caused community work to increasingly make the digital switch.

The main focus of this exploratory research is therefore on the question of how digital community work can be used in a well-considered manner, with also attention to ...

Bound by Blood. Ordinary Guatemalans and Collaboration during the Civil War, 1970-1985 KU Leuven

Magaly Rodriguez Garcia

History of Modernity & Society, Leuven

In the aftermath of the Guatemalan civil war (1960-1996), a large number of witness accounts claim neighbours, relatives, and friends were deeply implicated in the Cold War terror campaign which successive military governments waged against alleged communists or so-called subversive terrorists. Witness testimony and much of the extant literature of the civil war suggests many ordinary Guatemalans helped progress surveillance and death ...

Didier Reynaert

Substance use and Psychosocial Risk Behaviours, EQUALITY ResearchCollective, European Centre for Social Welfare Policy & Research, University of Porto

SwaPol is an educational project that seeks to promote encounters between social work and the police. Indeed, in public spaces, both police and social work often come into contact with vulnerable groups. This project aims to contribute to finding ways to ensure the well-being of these target groups on the one hand, and the livability of public spaces on the other. The project brought together students of Social Work and police officers in the ...

Apps for cops: a realist evaluation of the impact of mobile information technology on police decision-making and on police-citizen interactions KU Leuven

Jeroen Maesschalck

Leuven Institute of Criminology

Police services have increasingly embraced digitalization in recent years, and the offered technologies have become more sophisticated. The digitalization of the police is a frequently discussed topic in academic literature as well. While there is already a considerable amount of research on the impact of various technologies, this primarily focuses on their impact in terms of performance (e.g. effectiveness or efficiency). ...

importance of harmonised national legislation and international cooperation to prevent these offenses, protect the victims and prosecute
the perpetrators. The fight against ...
