  • The Challenges of Modern Policing
    Jul 21 2024
    In this episode of Crime Time Inc, hosted solo by Simon Maclean, the focus is on the multifaceted challenges facing Police Scotland. The show features an insightful interview with David Threadgold, the national chair of the Scottish Police Federation, who discusses the morale of officers, resource constraints, and recent changes within the force. The conversation highlights inefficiencies in the criminal justice system, health-related demands on police resources, and the decline in community engagement due to the hub model. They also address the benefits of body-worn cameras and the impact of rural officer housing policies. A portion of the episode is dedicated to examining current drug policies, questioning the effectiveness of the Misuse of Drugs Act, and considering alternative approaches observed internationally. Historical reflections, such as Jim Duffy's 2005 views on drug policy and Lord John McCluskey's criticisms, underscore the ongoing debate about the 'war on drugs.' The dialogue extends to the potential of safe consumption rooms and proportionate responses to crime. Furthermore, the complex dynamics between maintaining law enforcement standards and societal adaptation, alongside reduced police presence, prison system critiques, and hate crime legislation challenges, are covered. The episode emphasises the importance of public trust in the police and provides information on how to communicate with the Police Federation. It concludes with an invitation to a live Crime Time Inc podcast event in Glasgow.
