The assertion is being made that the Supreme Court judgment in FWS places the UK in breach of its ECHR obligations, as laid out in the case of Goodwin v UK. A court case is apparently being prepared on this basis. I think this may be seriously misguided. 🧵

I used to show this at the start of every recruit class I taught. The best video ever to explain what policing is really about & the impact it has on individuals. Many on this forum could never do 'the job' but feel qualified enough to criticise - hold my coat.....😉

A few years ago I posted a thread looking at the demographics of Lambeth and reflecting on the implications for thinking about police disproportionality. I've redrawn a couple of charts using Census 2021 data. Here's the first.

😱30 arrests a day of people who oppose mass migration or Islam on social media! Surely that can’t be true, can it…?🤷🏼‍♀️ Well, you know me - I can’t let a claim like that go unchecked! 🧐 So let’s dive in 🧵1/18 #FreeSpeech #FactCheck

What do we think?🤔 Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious. Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story! So, what’s going on here? Let’s take a look!👀 🧵 1/13

This study (🇸🇪) shows why we should think about time when analysing hotspots. For example they found fast-food outlets were violence hotspots on weekday evenings, but at weekends they were only hotspots in the morning. *When* matters as well as where. doi.org/10.1007/s10610…

New publication in Police Quarterly: "Forced Science: A Critical Appraisal of the Scientific Rigor of ‘Force Science’ Policing Research." It’s no mistake that evidence-based policing begins with *evidence*. High-quality science improves outcomes for officers, agencies, and

Last sentence of our new paper: "Continued use of citywide population rates as a benchmark against which to measure racial bias in police activity would seem naïve at best, and deliberately misleading if deployed by more informed commentators." rdcu.be/evAHc

Last year, my team reported the first RCT on AI assisted police report writing - and found that it did *NOT* improve efficiency. There has been a lot of disbelief - how could AI not improve things?!? Well, new evidence in another RCT shows that AI coding assistance *REDUCED*
