| For decades, women have been significantly underrepresented in policing and the growth has stagnated over recent years. However, a growing body of scientific research highlights the unique value women officers bring to policing, including impacts on public safety and community perception of police. This symposium aims to advance gender equity, diversity, and inclusion. You will have the opportunity to connect with local and international experts to explore promising practices for advancing gender equity in your agency, engage in thought provoking presentations, plenary sessions and panel discussions as we explore the challenges and opportunities related to diversity in policing. | Youth crime and gang-related activities pose significant challenges to community safety, social cohesion, and individual well-being. This ground-breaking symposium aims to bring together police, practitioners, policy makers, academics, and experts to address the critical issues underlying youth crime and gangs. You will have the opportunity to connect with local and international experts to explore promising practices around these issues, engage in thought provoking presentations, plenary sessions and panel discussions as we explore the challenges and opportunities of youth crime and gangs. | |
