Introduction
An experienced quantitative researcher seconded to a police force. Subject interests include victim engagement with the police and domestic abuse victimology more broadly. Published work has been used as rationale for the introduction of IDVA support pilot schemes within police force. Other insight analyses have also been used to impact real police practice, i.e., mental health analysis used to assist training of machine learning algorithm in automating call handling to the force control room.

The manuscript provides a conceptual argument for the importance of understanding victim decision-making in responding to cases of domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse is internationally recognised as a serious problem for public health (NICE, 2021) and criminal justice (Vigurs et al., 2016). Although research into Child-to-Parent Domestic Abuse (CPDA) is growing, the majority of reports and publications focus on younger children. Arguably, certain vulnerabilities in society are missed due to the d...
Suggestions to increase prosecution rates in domestic abuse cases often focus on improving victim cooperation and evidence gathering. This study explores the impact of persons involved in abuse investigations by modelling five variables (victim cooperation; witness cooperation; presence of children; suspect admission; and presence of physical evide...

Poster outlining internal project examining mental health demand within Lancashire Constabulary. This demand was then analysed to examine how it occurred geographically and chronologically.
Findings from the research have bene used in practice to train machine learning (programmed by hewlett-packard) to identify mental health demand from unlogged...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been highlighted as a priority for UK governments and criminal justice agencies since the 1990s. However, whilst generating significant policy and procedural responses, the overall impact continues to be criticised. This paper examines contemporary approaches to IPV identification and response, highlighting the l...
