K-PAC brings together one of the UK’s most significant academic policing research collaborations focused on partnerships between academics and policing partners
KPAC is pleased to invite police & others interested in evidence based approaches to our next CPD event - Theory, evidence, & practice in the management of crowds: A KPAC CPD - to be held at Keele University on 1st & 2nd November 2023. Contact us for further info, details below.
My new book co-authored with @Geoff_Pearson is published today. It sets out the case for research based reforms to football policing in the UK but - drawing on over 30 years of research - our work and arguments have implications for understanding crowd management internationally.
Today sees delivery of pioneering new training for @ColumbusPolice's new Dialogue Unit. A major step forward toward social identity led models of public order policing. @Keelepolicing#impact helping to empower Constitutional rights, legitimacy & police capacity for de-escalation
KPAC research has been helping to bring science based reforms to policing protests in Seattle. Read about the work we have been doing with the city and the progress made in the article below.
A groundbreaking new report by KPAC's Director has been published by Seattle's Office of the Inspector General. The study explores the role of crowd psychology in helping to understand the drivers of policing and dynamics of escalation during the 2020 BLM protests in the City.
Since 2020 I've been working with the Seattle OIG analysing the policing of BLM protests in the city. Read my analysis of policy, the first pivotal days of the demonstrations, their escalation into conflict & recommendations in my report published today
