Incorporating refinements and expansions can elevate the essay to the highest standards of academic excellence by enhancing its theoretical sophistication, empirical robustness, and critical depth. By engaging with a broader array of theoretical perspectives, empirical research findings, and ethical considerations, the essay would offer a more nuanced and comprehensive analysis of intelligence-led policing and community policing, contributing to advancing knowledge and informing studies. #PHD essay

The ‘degree entry’ debate can often be too focused on England and Wales, but research from former police officer turned academic Dr Andy Tatnell doesn’t have that problem; his thesis looks at the interesting differences in how Scotland, Sweden and Finland handle the complex work of training up their new frontline cops, as Policing Insight’s James Sweetland reports. ❝In Finland you spend 18 months in the classroom at Police University College – the only place you can complete the initial police learning course, which is accredited as a BSc degree. Then you do a year out on the streets. After all that, you come back into the University and do your dissertation for about five months.❞ - Dr Andy Tatnell, Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) ❝The Swedish Police Authority contract out to five mainstream universities to deliver the programme, so they’ve almost devolved it to higher education, although they do have some police officers on the teaching staff.❞ - Dr Andy Tatnell, Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) ❝In Finland, they devolve a lot of responsibility to the junior cops and give them a lot of individual freedom to do the job. So, their argument is there needs to be this three-year period of learning for new officers.❞ - Dr Andy Tatnell, Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) ❝Many people connected with policing in Sweden were keen for the programme to become degree-accredited, especially the police union. But a right-leaning Government came to power before the new programme could be fully implemented.❞ - Dr Andy Tatnell, Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) ❝There’s much less discretion and autonomy awarded to those individual officers. The Scots will tell you their frontline officers still have a lot of discretion, but my argument is it’s much less freedom than in Finland.❞ - Dr Andy Tatnell, Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) ❝You need to respect the art and craft that policing’s developed over the years, which you can’t learn sitting in the classroom, and then introduce the new scientific bit – a point made by others in the academic community as well.❞ - Dr Andy Tatnell, Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) [SUBSCRIBER ARTICLE] https://lnkd.in/eq67aKQ8 #lawenforcement #policing #police #training #learninganddevelopment #workforcedevelopment Police Scotland Swedish Police Authority Poliisi - Polisen - Police of Finland

Ihi Research is one of three research entities participating in the Understanding Policing Delivery research programme, which will help identify whether, where, and how much bias exists in the Police. We are 1 year through a 2 year research process to identify issues of fairness and equity in Policing. As a result of our investigations in year 1 we are seeking to speak to groups of people that do not have a voice in the current data - This is an invitation to participate. A better understanding of whānau experiences will enable Police to address matters of equity and fairness, build legitimacy, deliver more equitable, inclusive and accessible Police services, support social cohesion and reduce harm in whānau, and our communities. If you are interested in participating, visit our website; https://lnkd.in/gfxEYNR5

Insight from My Doctoral Thesis on the Swedish Police Authority As I delve deeper into the insights from my 2023 doctoral thesis, I'm excited to share some key findings that could significantly impact the operational and strategic approaches of the Swedish Police Authority. Insight 1: Rethinking Selection with a Compensatory Model The first insight I'd like to explore is the "Advantages of a Compensatory Selection Model." This approach recognizes the importance of balancing strengths and weaknesses across various domains. By adopting this model, we can enhance the validity, reliability, and utility of the selection processes. This isn't just about finding the right candidates; it's about fostering inclusivity and diversity, enriching the overall personnel profile of the Swedish Police Authority. In my thesis, I argue that this model could be a game-changer in how we assess and select potential police officers, ensuring a more rounded and capable force. Stay tuned as I unfold more insights and implications for the future of policing in Sweden. Your thoughts and feedback are invaluable, so feel free to share your views! #SwedishPolice #TacticalUnits #SelectionProcess #DoctoralInsight

Delighted to announce the launch of my new book - Critiquing Evidence-based Polcing in Britain: A Genealogy. The book reports discourse analytical research of texts produced by EBP. The research identifies EBPs key story-lines, subject positions and the institutional changes the development of EBP discourse has produced in Britain. Using theoretical frameworks after Michel Foucault, the research suggests that EBP has acquired state funding and patronage in modern Britain due to its alignment to conservative state narratives on crime, and a shared DNA with neoliberal and managerial discourses. EBP reproduces these discourses, graded as evidence, and so does political work that harms pluralism and criticality in police research, policing and the service to the public. The book makes a critical intervention into the hegemonic progression of EBP, urging resistance for those interested in moving policing in more socially and politically progressive directions to deal with its multiple crises.
