What is your current research focus? My current research focuses on conducting a systematic review of national data sources to investigate assaults on police officers. Specifically to find out how frequently these instances occur, what causes them, and how trustworthy the data is. The objective is to draw attention to data gaps, enhance data dependability and gathering, and encourage more productive policing and officer safety research and policy creation.

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? {Empty}
