| 2015-2045 | 0615-0645 | 0815-0845 | Opening Address Evidence-based policing: lessons from the New Zealand COVID-19 response Dr Ashley Bloomfield, NZ Director-General of Health 2019-2022The use or non-use of evidence to inform public policy and practice was starkly highlighted during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, jurisdictions that directly informed their responses with evidence had the best health outcomes, especially among vulnerable groups, in particular reducing the number of deaths, and protected their health systems and health care workers.The New Zealand response was directly informed by the best available, and frequently rapidly changing, evidence. This presentation will cover key lessons from the New Zealand response that highlight the challenges and opportunities for evidence-based policing, including:• Evidence is not ‘values free’ • The importance of being clear about the values that are informing the use of evidence and decisions • Different types of evidence, e.g. both quantitative and qualitative evidence, are useful and it is important not to ‘privilege’ certain evidence • Trust is fundamental to effective public policy and practice and the appropriate and consistent use of evidence is a powerful tool for building and maintaining trust • Building trust requires clear, consistent and honest communication, including when things don’t go right or when the evidence changes • Lessons for navigating the boundary between evidence, intelligence and politics |

| 2045-2130 | 0645-0730 | 0845-0930 | Panel Discussion Challenging Traditional Thinking – EB in Policing Stuart Bartels APM (Aus), Dr Robyn Mildon (Aus), Det Insp Mike Newman (Aus), Superintendent Dave Cowan (AUS), Rachel Tuffin OBE (UK), chaired by Stef Bradley (AUS)The final report of the Strategic Review of Policing in England and Wales was released earlier in the year by the Police Foundation. Seen as a landmark report into the future of policing, the report proposes the most ambitious reform in a generation. Although based on evidence from England and Wales, the report offers police globally over 56 recommendations that relate to reforming culture, skills and training and organisational structure. The report says that policing needs to adopt a learning culture, so that police officers have better opportunities to develop professionally, so that professional standards are raised and so that the police can use the best evidence to achieve better outcomes for the public. One recommendation calls for evidence based policing units to be implemented across police services to support and create a culture of evidence and learning, but is this enough? The panel discuss this report, its recommendations relating to evidence based policing and the importance of evidence in challenging traditional thinking in the context of building and maintaining legitimacy in policing. |

| 2130-2200 | 0730-0800 | 0930-1000 | Keynote Presentation Rapid response detects crime, and double crewing is more than twice as good Prof Tom Kirchmaier (UK)Policing matters. What you do, and how you do it has a real impact on the outcome. For this, I report the results of two empirical papers, the first one studying the impact of Police response time on the likelihood of detecting a crime, and the second one of single vs. double crewing again on the likelihood of crime detection, and officer safety. In both cases we argue that better resourcing would pay for itself. |

| 2200-2300 | 0800-0900 | 1000 – 1100 | Panel Discussion Excellence in Leadership Deputy Chief Executive R. Mark Evans OBE (NZ), Inspector Natalie Hiltz (CAN), Dr Rick Muir (UK), chaired by Deputy Chief Constable Alex Murray OBE (UK)With senior thinkers and police leaders we will explore a number of areas: How do you lead in a way that uses the best evidence? How do you get organisations to understand what is effective, to commission effectively and to evaluate interventions effectively. We are also exploring what the evidence says about good leadership – not from the multitude of airport best sellers, but from well researched evidence based insights. This session will benefit anyone who is interested in what the evidence says about good leadership and how as a leader to embrace evidence based practices. Dr Rick Muir will also delve into a recent strategic review of policing – drawing on the importance of evidence based policing for future leadership. |

1000-1100 | 1200-1300 | Presentation & Discussion Getting Off the Drawing Board: The Pitfalls of Implementing New Responses to Policing Problems Prof Michael S Scott (US), Assoc Prof Justin Ready (Aus), Dr Lisa Tompson (NZ)There are four basic reasons why a problem-oriented- or evidence-based-policing initiative might fail: 1) the problem was inaccurately identified; 2) the problem was insufficiently or inadequately analyzed; 3) the responses developed from the analysis were improperly or insufficiently implemented, or not implemented at all; or 4) the problem was properly identified and analyzed, and responses were implemented, but the responses did not have the desired effect. This session deals with the third of these four reasons: implementing responses to problems in problem-oriented and evidence-based policing initiatives. It addresses the reasons why the responses you plan to implement do or do not get properly implemented, and how you can better ensure that they do. There are factors to consider in four project stages: 1) the preimplementation stage; 2) the planning stage; 3) the implementation stage; and 4) the post-implementation learning stage. |

We will discuss why we arrived at the TRM, what the TRM was designed to achieve and how we approached evaluating its impact in a proof-of-concept trial. We will include discussion of how an earlier evaluation of the Armed Response Trials contributed a critical evidence-base to inform improvements to implementation and evaluation of the TRM. |

| 0430-0530 | 1430-1530 | 1630-1730 | Panel Discussion Every Contact Leaves a Trace – Procedural Justice in Action Prof Lorraine Mazerolle (Aus), Dr Sarah Bennett (Aus), Darren Green (Aus), Chaired by Det Insp Mike Newman (Aus)This panel will explore the tenets and importance of procedural justice through the lens of practical applications of the theory. The contacts police have with the public can be short or long, they can be in-person or digital. One message remains the same – the use of appropriate communication strategies with that person or community is vital and procedural justice provides an evidence-based framework for this to occur. Every contact police have with the community leaves a trace and every contact is an opportunity to leave that person, that community, with a better impression of police and policing. |

| 0530-0600 | 1530-1600 | 1730-1800 | Keynote Presentation Bad apples, barrels, orchards – how data science will tell you which Dr Tim Cubitt (Aus)Despite a considerable body of research on police misconduct, findings have been mixed, with little consensus regarding its causes, and best practice for detection and prevention. Using data from three policing agencies, this presentation will explore emerging approaches to identifying both individual, and groups of officers that are at risk of committing serious misconduct. The utility of these methods, how they can realistically be introduced into practice, and how this research can contribute to misconduct detection and management approaches will be discussed. |
|||
| 0600-0700 | 1600-1700 | 1800-1900 | Presentation Sex offence training that really makes a difference. How EBP is essential in improving our service to victims Dr Sarah Bennett (Aus), Detective Sergeant Katrina Carr (Aus)Every reported sexual offence deserves the very best evidenced policing response. The Queensland Police Service (QPS), Specialist Investigation Training Unit developed the comprehensive two-week Investigating Sexual Assault, Corroborating and Understanding Relationship Evidence (ISACURE) course. ISACURE targets three core themes: knowledge of sexual offending, victim-oriented practice, and evidence-based investigative skills. Through an EBP research partnership, the QPS and The University of Queensland tested how training impacted outcomes including arrests, withdrawals and officer wellbeing. Results demonstrate how EBP training and evaluation is improving service to survivors of sexual offences and where further research is needed. |

| 1800-1845 | 0400-0445 | 0600-0645 | Keynote Presentation Can Police Advance Reform and Public Safety Simultaneously?: There is an answer Prof David Weisburd (Israel/USA)Can police achieve the goals of reform and community safety simultaneously? I report on a large three city randomized field trial that shows they can. We tested whether police can be trained to treat people in fair and respectful ways, and if so, whether this would influence evaluations of the police and crime. The treatment led to significantly more procedurally just behavior by police; fewer arrests; and residents of the treatment hot spots significantly less likely to perceive police as harassing or using unnecessary force. At the same time, there was also a significant relative 14% decline in crime incidents. |
|||
| 1845-1915 | 0445-0515 | 0645-0715 | Keynote Presentation Why do evidence-based policing organizations need to be managed in an evidence-based way? Prof Rob Briner (UK)The principles of evidence-based policing are slowly but surely influencing the practice of policing professionals. There are many barriers to evidence-based practice in any field. One potential barrier is the extent to which evidence-based practice oriented professionals and their organizations are managed in an evidence-based way. If management practices and processes are not particularly evidence-based and driven by, for example, management fads and fashions or the hunches of senior management teams, then it makes it difficult for those being managed in this way to stick to evidence-based practice principles in their work. This presentation will discuss the development of evidence-based practice in management, some of the challenges of adopting this approach, and how evidence-based practice principles can be spread across policing organizations from front-line policing to management decision-making. |
