This video is based on an article written by Professor David Canter: https://www.davidcanter.com/wp-conten...
It addresses the following questions: why are policing and academia so different? Why are there conflicts between the two? How can police and academics work together better?
The premise is that if both sides understand each other better, they can collaborate more effectively. There are good reasons for why the police and academia are the way they are - their objectives and pressures are very different.
Police Science Dr provides general information that stems from published research. However, each investigation needs to be assessed and conducted individually.
The content Police Science Dr provides is not to be taken as specific advice for any one investigation and is intended to enhance investigative skills overall. www.PoliceScienceDr.com is a place that helps police and other investigative practitioners access research that is relevant to them. The free video library covers things such as What is Investigative Psychology? What is Offender Profiling? What is Evidence-Based Policing? What is Geographic Profiling? We also have videos on how to interview suspects, how to interview children forensically, how to read research articles, etc.

How long do the effects of hotspots policing last? Simon Williams interview
I'm Simon Williams and I'm currently a senior sergeant with the Western Australian police. Prior to that I was a police officer with West Midlands Police I'm Simon Williams and I'm currently a senior sergeant with the Western Australian police. Prior to that I was a police officer with West Midlands Police for nearly 16 years.
I first heard about evidence-based policing when I was running offender management teams in Birmingham. And we partnered with the University of Cambridge to deliver what was then the biggest randomised control trial and policing anywhere in the world called operation Turning Point. So operation Turning Point was a test of deferred prosecution. Of low-level or first-time offenders away from the criminal justice system. And that's what was my introduction into this concept, this thing called evidence-based policing.

Can emotional skills predict gang membership?
In 2017, it was estimated by the Children’s Commissioner (2017) that over 46,000 children between the ages of 10 and 18 years are involved in gangs in the UK. Even though this problem is increasing in severity with a number of fatal stabbings having taken place in England in the last few years, psychological understanding of gang membership is currently limited (Wood & Alleyne, 2010). In an effort to alleviate this shortcoming, recent research has attempted to shed some light on the emotional risk factors of gang membership by reviewing and summarising existing research (Mallion & Wood, 2018). It is known that emotional processes guide moral reasoning (Dhingra, Debowska, Sharratt, Hyland, & Kola-Palmer, 2015), aid decision making (Modecki, Zimmer-Gembeck, & Guerra, 2017) and support behavioural regulation (Coffman, Melde, & Esbensen, 2015); And we also know that deficits in emotional competence can cause offending behaviour (e.g., Day, 2009; Ward & Nee, 2009). There has been an increasing recognition of the influence that emotional processes can have on other risk factors of offending behaviour, that is social and cognitive factors (Ward, 2017).
