520			_aThis book highlights how the practical skills of the police officer can be transferred into the realm of academic research and support them in becoming part of the evidence-based policing movement. It starts by exploring the professionalisation of the police service through higher education accreditation and the different methodologies of social research practice. Using operational comparisons and a little humour, it guides the reader through the swamp of concepts and processes, such as ethical approval, research paradigms and data gathering and analysis. It then takes them on a journey of reflection and reflexivity, challenging their own perspective on policing and working within the wider criminal justice sector and how they can make a valuable contribution to the development of policing practice. Anne Eason, DCrimJ is Associate Head of Dept. Policing at the University of the West of England, UK, overseeing the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship. A former Senior Probation Officer, her operational expertise and research interests are in multi-agency working, risk assessment and management, decision-making and police education.
