How To Link Serial Crimes - Prof. Gabrielle Salfati

Gabrielle Salfati is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of the Investigative Psychology Research Unit at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Her 25+ year career to date has been focused on serving the law enforcement and mental health practitioner community.

She has developed and spearheaded initiatives to prioritize best practice in translation of scientific evidence to be applicable in practice through the development of practitioner-focused training, and trains law enforcement officers, crime analysts, forensic psychologists and other criminal justice and mental health professionals.

She is part of the first group of people who emerged within the new field of Investigative Psychology, and was instrumental in its development as an international research field on the empirical analysis of violent criminal behavior. Her main areas of expertise relates to how psychology is applied to police investigations, in particular with reference to behavioral crime scene analysis, offender profiling, and linking serial crime. All of her work has focused on developing evidence-based practice tools for law enforcement and the crime analysis field, specifically as it pertains to behavioral analysis, has been done in collaboration with law enforcement agencies internationally.

LIVE interview: Coaching your Way out of Police-Induced Misery

Ex-police officer Gareth Keyte was a very happy and successful police officer - a Public Order Commander, Initial Firearms Commander and Senior Investigating Officer, until it was not the trauma of the things he saw in the community that broke him, but how he was treated by his organisation, that made him fall. He had to take time off to deal with his mental health and then had to leave the job altogether - but he was able to climb out of that hole and start a new life with the help of coaching. We speak about mental health in policing, a massive topic at the moment, and the steps you can take to ensure you don't remain stuck in a bad situation.

The UK's most effective Cop: How to reduce Crime on Metal Health Wards

Interview with PC Andrew Harris, who might possibly be the UK's most effective cop!

Andrew managed to reduce violence and disorder by 70% (!) by being a uniformed presence on mental health wards that wanted more police support to protect their staff and patients.

Bedfordshire Police are working with local mental health services and these services are very cooperative with Andrew, as the project has been so incredibly effective at reducing incidents.

Andrew is approachable both to patients and staff, he enables patients to come and talk to him when they are frustrated and to talk things through rather than reacting without thinking. Andrew gets the patient to reflect on their decision-making and their behaviour, and many incidents have been prevented that way before they even took place.
