To understand how police awareness training facilitates or constrains the capacity of police officers to appropriately classify and respond to PMC, data were collected from a population of Police Recruits (PRs) and Protective Service Officers (PSOs) (<i>N<\/i>\u2009=\u20091609) to ascertain their perceptions of PMC pre- and post-PMC awareness training. These were used in a logistic regression model to identify factors explaining whether PRs and PSOs would identify a vignette\/scenario as a PMC. We found PRs and PSOs were more likely to correctly identify a PMC scenario than a control scenario, but only 61% as likely to identify an incident as PMC post-PMC awareness training after accounting for other variables. We argue that awareness training programmes need to be more aligned to the specific needs of policing in diverse societies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The full\u00a0article can be found here:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/10439463.2016.1206099\">https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/10439463.2016.1206099<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CJRC member, Dr Toby Miles-Johnson has recently published an article in the journal Policing and Society, Volume 28, Issue 6, August 2018.\u00a0 This\u00a0is now available online on Taylor &amp; Francis Online.
