Detectives (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿) investigating sex offences were more likely to be burned out and be less interested in victim care if they had high workload, poor work–life balance, or were mid-career. Officer wellbeing matters!

Paper: https://doi.org/10.1080/15614263.2024.2426172
There is increasing awareness of police investigators’ wellbeing and the rising prevalence of burnout symptoms, creating long-term difficulties for policing. We utilized Maslach and Leiter’s approach to segment the workforce population for Rape and Serious Sexual Offence (RASSO) investigators based on a cross-sectional survey of 18 police forces (n = 2,108) across England and Wales. We fitted a Proportional Odds model to analyze the factors associated with the odds of becoming disengaged and burned out. The findings show that RASSO investigators were grouped as ‘effective’ (39%), ‘ineffective’ (26%), ‘overextended’ (24%), ‘disengaged’ (2%) and ‘burned out’ (9%). Strong effects predicting disengagement and burnout were noted for increased stress levels and organizational or self-imposed pressures to work despite being unwell. Higher odds of being disengaged or burned out were related to dissociative views toward victim-survivors, including negative attitudes to specialist training …

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

Sat in on a class given by @criminographer.bsky.social - obviously it was excellent! But also a reminder that as a teacher we should continually develop our knowledge through the teaching of others and not just research. Overall a brilliant morning!
