Keynote Presentation: Bad apples, barrels, orchards – how data science will tell you which
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.
