What did we learn from the evidence given by Special Branch managers to the Undercover Policing Inquiry?
28 Nov 2022.
The core aims of the Policing Network are to:
- advance understanding of policing studies;
- provide an arena for information exchange, critical analysis and debate across the research, policy and practice communities – nationally and internationally.
To achieve these aims the Network will engage in activities that include:
- organising and hosting conferences, seminars and symposia;
- disseminating information through its JISCmail list and via scholarly publications;
- responding to policy consultations and/or requests for information.
