“…Most federal consent decrees (legal settlements between the Department of Justice and a police department) to correct problematic policing require an EIS to be in place [19]. A 2007 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey showed that 65% of surveyed police departments with 250 or more officers had an EIS in place [15].…”

“…Case studies focusing on specific police departments have shown that EISs were effective in decreasing the number of citizen complaints [20,9], but it is unclear whether this decrease arises from a reduction in problematic behavior or from discouraging officers from proactive policing [23]. A large-scale study of emerging EISs across departments concludes that EIS effectiveness depends on departmental characteristics and details of implementation, such as which indicators are tracked, what thresholds are assigned, and how supervisors handle the system's flags [15].…”

Utilizamos datos de búsquedas en Google sobre empleo para pronosticar la tasa de desempleo en México. Discutimos la bibliografía relacionada con nowcasting y big data donde se utilizan datos generados en internet para predecir desempleo. Además, explicamos algoritmos de aprendizaje que sirven para escoger el mejor modelo de predicción. Finalmente, se aplican estos algoritmos para encontrar el modelo que mejor prediga la tasa de desempleo en México. En términos de políticas públicas, creemos que los datos generados a través de internet y los nuevos métodos estadísticos son claves para mejorar el diseño y la pertinencia de las intervenciones.

“…IAPro -a company that sells purpose built EI systems software -reported over 50 new sales in the first eight months of 2018 and usage of its products by more than 800 'public safety agencies' around the world in 2019 (IAPro, 2018(IAPro, , 2019. However, evaluated case studies of EI systems in action are limited (Shjarback, 2015). Consequently, the nature of the New Zealand system and its impacts should be of interest to practitioners, researchers and policy makers committed to optimising police conduct through scientific management techniques.…”

This paper examines the implementation process and impacts of an Early Intervention System (EIS) introduced into the New Zealand Police in 2013. The system was associated with large reductions in complaints of 72.5% against target employees ( N = 526), but without this clearly translating into reductions in the overall number of complaints. The New Zealand case also highlighted the issue of the different potential uses of early intervention. Should the priority be officer welfare or the more usual aim of improving officer conduct, police–citizen relations and public confidence in police? The authors argue that the traditional focus on reducing adverse incidents between police and citizens, with public complaints as a major guide and measure, should have at least equal weight in an EIS that is part of a comprehensive state-of-the-art police integrity management system. The paper also highlights the need for detailed publicly accessible data to ensure accountability of investments in integrity strategies.

“…Numerous recent studies examine the issue of law enforcement violence (Fryer 2018;Legewie and Fagan 2016;Shjarback 2015;Shane, Lawton, and Swenson 2017;Stickle 2016), some focusing on the role of collective bargaining (Huq and McAdams 2016;Rushin 2017). Most pertinent to our study, many scholars, drawing upon case studies, argue that unions impede progressive policy reform and innovation (Bies 2017;Epp 2009;Fisk and Richardson 2016;1 For instance, using Chicago data, Iris (1998) finds that disciplinary orders are frequently overturned during arbitral review.…”
