The Brain, Behaviour and Society GRPLink opens in a new window has granted COPR a small pot of money (£5000) to support Warwick researchers who are conducting interdisciplinary police-related research.

If you're a Warwick researcher and have a small pilot project, workshop, panel discussion, seminar series, impact activity etc you wish to launch between now and 31 July, 2023, and require a small amount of financial support, please contact Profs Jackie Hodgson (Jackie.Hodgson@warwick.ac.uk) and Kim Wade (K.A.Wade@warwick.ac.uk). The fund is available to support pump-priming activities such as research assistance for literature reviews, pilot projects, uniting potential collaborators, or co-creation with non-academic stakeholders.

Send Profs Jackie Hodgson and Kim Wade a 1-page (max) outline of your project objectives, description of activities, intended outputs, timeline and brief budget.

The fund is available to support Warwick researchers at all stages in their career, including PhD students.

Call for Forces to Participate in New Research

Rebecca Plimmer is a PhD student in the Psychology Department at Warwick University. Rebecca’s research explores the extent to which individual factors, such as officer and suspect demographic’s, behaviour, personality traits, and values, best predict attitudes about violence (e.g., rape and sexual assault/violence against women, racial discrimination, violent ideation) and decision making (i.e., use of force acceptability and reporting). Rebecca is aiming to obtain a sample of over 500 police officers from forces across England and Wales. Her project has received Chief Officer approval from West Mercia and the research is under review at West Midlands and Warwickshire Police. If this research is something you would be interested in taking part in, advertising, or know of any other police forces/contacts who may be interested in take part, please contact Rebecca (Rebecca.plimmer@warwick.ac.uk).
