Module Aims
To develop students’ ability to effectively research policing interventions designed to tackle specific issues, evaluate and develop them into recommendations relevant to their employers.
Content Summary
Students have undertaken research to identify and understand an emerging issue or problem in a specific policing area and formulate an ethically sound research question. This was undertaken via a submission of an Evidence-Based Research Project.
Following submission of the Evidence-Based Research Project, students will present, and answer questions posed in relation to this research on the identified issue/ problem, along with the proposals for tackling it. Students will be required to reflect on how their findings align with Police Crime Commissioner (PCC) / Chief Constable (CC) priorities.
USW recognises that the output from the Research Showcase should have the utmost benefit to students and ultimately their employing forces. To support students to be better equipped to relate their EBRP (and findings) to employing force priorities, the student presentation should address but not be limited to the following questions:
How does the Evidence-Based Research Project (EBRP) impact Police & Crime Commissioner’s (PCC) / Chief Constable’s (CC) priorities?
What one finding/ recommendation would the student take forward, if given the opportunity, that could be considered by their police service?
