Author: Gibbs, Jennifer C. Title: Targeting Blue: Why We Should Study Terrorist Attack on Police Summary: With almost 12% of all attacks since 1970 targeting law enforcement, police make attractive targets for terrorist groups for several reasons, yet studying this unique phenomenon is largely neglected in the academic literature. Perhaps the scant research on this topic is due to a debate over whether attacks on police are considered terrorism and a concern about typological theorizing. This paper is a call to academic arms for scholars to study the unique phenomenon of terrorism targeting the police, arguing that such violence is indeed terrorism and disaggregating terrorism target type is beneficial for theoretical development and evidence-based policy.

Author: Fuller, Georgina Title: The nature of risk during interactions between the police and intoxicated offenders Summary: How best to respond to and manage intoxicated offenders is a concern shared by policing agencies across Australia. Intoxicated offenders present additional behavioural and health risks during their interaction with police. These risks may result in harm to the officers, the offender or the community. This research examined how intoxication influences the nature and magnitude of the risk associated with police officer/offender interactions. Using data from the National Deaths in Custody Program, a qualitative sample of 41 cases were analysed. These cases involved offenders who died in police custody and who, according to autopsy results, had alcohol or drugs in their system at the time of death. Results showed that, while intoxication influences an offender's behaviour and health, the overall level of risk during the interaction was determined by the interplay between these two elements and the police response. This interplay between intoxicated behaviours, health risks and police responses should be considered in the development of policies and practices to minimise harm.
