achievements in 2006. I say “our” achievements because they embrace the vision, commitment and hard work of all of Interpol, which includes our President Jackie Selebi, Executive Committee, National Central Bureaus (NCBs), General Secretariat and all of our member countries’ police and law enforcement services. The year 2006 was another historic year for Interpol in so many ways. We celebrated the 50th anniversary of our constitution. In recognition of one of the most important principles enshrined in that document, the 2006 General Assembly adopted a resolution confirming the organization’s neutrality and independence. We welcomed Montenegro and San Marino, the world’s newest and oldest republics, to the Interpol family, increasing our membership to 186 countries. The theme of the 2006 General Assembly – “In the Service of Frontline Police to Secure the World” – points to another historic aspect of the year’s activities. Interpol began rolling out its MIND/FIND technologies, marking the first time in the organization’s history that instant access to Interpol’s database on stolen and lost travel documents (SLTD) was placed directly into the hands of control officers at airports, borders and other field locations around the world. The SLTD database witnessed record growth during the year – 121 countries contributing more than 4 million document numbers, pushing the grand total to more than 13 million. InternatIonal CRIMInal polICE orGanIZatIon 2 The 2006 General Assembly also approved the We began an ambitious initiative to create and defi ne process of creating the world’s fi rst international Interpol Global Anti-Crime Centres (GACCs), which anti-corruption academy for law enforcement. will provide ongoing specialised crime and urgent Progress on this historic initiative moved at a rapid support to all parts of the Interpol family.

As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEGITIMACY, TERRORIST ATTACKS AND POLICE Jennifer Catherine Gibbs Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor Laura Dugan Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice Scholars often suggest that terrorism – “the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence to attain a political, economic, religious or social goal through fear, coercion or intimidation” (LaFree & Dugan, 2007, 184) – is a battle of legitimacy. As the most ubiquitous representatives of the government’s coercive force, the police should be most susceptible to terrorism stemming from perceptions of illegitimacy. Police are attractive symbolic and strategic targets, and they were victimized in over 12% of terrorist attacks worldwide since 1970. However, empirical research assessing the influence of legitimacy on terrorist attacks, generally, and scholarly attention to terrorist attacks on police are scant. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the influence of state and police legitimacy and alternative explanations on the proportion of all and only fatal terrorist attacks on police in 82 countries between 1999 and 2008. Data were drawn from several sources, including the Global Terrorism Database and the World Values Survey. Surprisingly, results of Tobit analyses indicate that police legitimacy, measured by the percentage of the population who have at least some confidence in police, is not significantly related to the proportion of all terrorist attacks on police or the proportion of fatal terrorist attacks on police. State legitimacy was measured by four indicators; only the percentage of the population who would never protest reached significance, lending limited support for this hypothesis. Greater societal schism, the presence of a foreign military and greater economic inequality were consistently significant predictors of higher proportions of terrorist attacks on police.

    20 years QualityThrough Equality enp |europea n networ kofpolicewomen enp european network of policewomen 2 | enp.nl 20year sQualit yThroug hEquality Foreword The European Network of Policewomen has been promoting diversity and professionalism in the police for the past twenty years. In every national police force, greater diversity means better quality, so this international network is vital. Exchanging views and approaches helps to foster creativity and prevent tunnel vision. The police are part of a pluralist society. In order to remain engaged with the community they serve, they must invest in diversity. Despite all that has been achieved on gender mainstreaming in the past few decades, the position of women is still an issue that requires attention. Thanks to opportunities for part-time employment, job-sharing and access to child care, the proportion of women in police organisations throughout Europe has increased. Yet the number of women in management positions remains small due to lack of upward mobility. Many women still find it difficult to profile their talents and to recognise and create opportunities for themselves. The ENP is trying to address this problem and is helping women get past this stumbling block. Its efforts include Career Development Seminars for policewomen aspiring to positions in middle management. Participants are taught leadership and networking skills, and given tools for sharing knowledge and making the most of opportunities. This magazine tells you what ENP has been doing over the past twenty years and what it is planning for the future. We hope that you will find it inspirational. Diversity is the future.
