As part of the ‘Evidence-Based Policing: Beyond the Randomised Control Trial’ the School of Law, Criminal Justice & Computing launched the Canterbury Centre for Policing Research (CCPR). During the launch Dr Steve Tong (Director) and Emma Williams (Deputy Director) outlined the purposes of working with police officers in better understanding police practice in the context of current challenges around austerity, mental health, international policing, criminal investigation and professional development. The conference and launch was well attended with Kent Police Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott showing his support for Centre. Dr Steve Tong, Emma Williams and Matthew Scott are pictured above.
