Description

The Institute for Public Safety, Crime and Justice (IPSCJ) at the University of Northampton delivers high quality research and evaluation, insight and innovation in the fields of public safety, crime and justice.

The IPSCJ is situated at the interface between practice, policy and academia, adopting an evidence-based approach to enhance public service delivery models, organisational strategy and outcomes for service users. The IPSCJ collaborates with partner organisations at local, regional, national and international levels.

The IPSCJ has five key research and evaluation portfolios:

• Health and Justice: explore intersections between health and justice, working with a wide range of partners and agencies in community and prison settings.
• Citizens in Policing: investigate the roles, functions, and contributions of volunteers within public safety and policing.
• Children and Young People: work with children and young people taking a child-centred and participatory approach to research and evaluation.
