Policing Vulnerabilities and the Future of Police/Academic Partnerships

An online conference hosted by the N8 Policing Research Partnership.

Conference Aims

This conference will explore the challenges that confront implementing innovative and evidence-based reforms in policing. It will focus on policing diverse forms of vulnerability in which the police work closely in partnership with other organisations. In this regard, the conference will seek to showcase work from the N8 partnership and reflect on the learning from experiences in the UK and elsewhere on implementing police/academic partnership to foster research and the knowledge base. The second day will focus on identifying and exploring the new challenges for research informed and evidence-based policing in the face of shifting vulnerabilities and changing demands. Workshops will cover subjects including: Policing Covid-19, data analytics, policing vulnerabilities, policing futures and learning lessons through research co-production.
