West Mercia Police and Warwickshire Police have engaged the Centre for Operational Police Research to undertake a large-scale collaborative research project: "We don't buy crime". The research—conducted by Dr Kim Wade, Prof Jackie Hodgson, Prof Neil Stewart and Dr Kevin Hearty—is now included on the 'What Works?' College of Policing research map.
