This week we talked to Brook Kearley, a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore in the School of Social Work. Brook talks to us about experimental designs in criminology. We also discuss a paper in which she evaluated a drug court. 

This week we have an exciting episode! Good friends of TCA and real life besties, Chantal Fahmy, a professor at University of Texas-San Antonio's Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice, and Meghan Mitchell, a professor at the University of North Dakota's Department of Criminal Justice, talk to Jenn and Jose about their work on prison reentry and health. Specifically, we discuss why using one question to study people's health may not be enough. They also discuss healthcare while incarcerated and what some of the factors for success or unsuccessful reentry might be. Finally, we close the episode with a chat on what it's like to publish with your best friend.    You can find Chantal Fahmy on Twitter @ChantalFahmy. She has been published in journals such as Social Science & Medicine, Crime & Delinquency, and Journal of Criminal Justice.  You can find Meghan Mitchell on Twitter @meghanmmitchell. She has been published in journals such as Journal of Quantitative Criminology, Journal of Crime and Justice, and Journal of Experimental Criminology.

Rising star Deanna Ortiz joins to talk about something we spend a stupid amount of tax dollars on in Chicago: ShotSpotter! It’s a national company, but the City of Chicago makes up nearly a quarter of its revenue. What are we spendin’ all that money on? This episode is sooo foolish, we talk about tech bros’ hubris, how good PR can change everything, and who from the company definitely got picked to be the fall guy. FUN STUFF! COMEDY PODCAST!

Flora Fitzalan Howard is a Registered Forensic Psychologist working as a researcher and evidence-based practice specialist within Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service's Evidence-Based Practice team.  She worked in prisons as a practitioner psychologist before specialising in research and evidence-based practice.  Her research interests have focussed on procedural justice, prison culture, self-harming behaviour in prison, and developing the rehabilitative potential of prison processes (such as recall to prison, electronic monitoring, and disciplinary adjudications). Dr Helen Wakeling is a Chartered Research Psychologist, working as a researcher and evidence-based practice specialist within the Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service's Evidence-Based Practice Team. She has worked as a researcher within HMPPS for over 18 years, specialising originally in research into sexual offending, and the use of psychometrics with men convicted of sexual offences undertaking an intervention. More recently her research interests include procedural justice, prison culture, drug taking in prisons and psychosocial maturity. Recommended reading: MacQueen & Bradford (2017).

Professor Sherman is the Director of the Cambridge Centre for Evidence-Based Policing and the Wolfson Professor of Criminology Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, where he is also past Director (2012–2017) of the Institute of Criminology. Currently serving as Director of the Institute's Jerry Lee Centre of Experimental Criminology, his 1998 Police Foundation Lecture on ‘Evidence-Based Policing' is widely recognised as the foundation of a global movement generating professional societies for evidence-based policing in the UK, Australia-New Zealand, Canada and the US, now with over 5,000 members. Professor Sherman has served as the Honorary President of the Society of Evidence-Based Policing (UK) since its formation in 2010, and is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing launched in 2017. He is also Director of the Cambridge Police Executive Programme, offering a part-time Master's degree in Applied Criminology and Police Management at the University of Cambridge with over 170 students from ten countries.   ​ In this talk, Professor Sherman suggests how we could identify police officers who are most likely to kill someone in advance.

Professor Lawrence Sherman is Director of the Cambridge Centre for Evidence-Based Policing at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Jerry Lee Centre of Experimental Criminology. We discuss the police constable apprentice program, the role of socializing in the pub as an executive learning tool, the crime harm index and victimization, and the role of algorithms in improving the criminal justice system.

In EP11, I interview Professor Lawrence W. Sherman, the Director Jerry Lee Centre of Experimental Criminology at the Cambridge Institute of Criminology (IoC), the Chair of the Cambridge Police Executive Programme, and the former Director of the IoC. We cover: Sherman's path to criminology; experimental criminology (e.g., randomised control trials) and causal inference; addressing gun violence in the US; police shootings; the futility of police research in the US; Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing; "why black people commit more [violent] crime?"; the ideal police recruit; police culture and the organisation; Sherman's biggest regret (not reducing police killings); "what are you most proud of?"; Sherman's worldview (bounded utilitarianism); rapid policing response by video; machine learning and "minority report"; final words for police recruits and criminologists.

A presentation by Professor Lawrence Sherman, Wolfson Professor of Criminology, Director of the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology and Director, Police Executive Programme. Repeated experiments show that focused policing reduces crime. Yet research shows that prison increases offenders’ crime rates, especially after they are sent to prison for the first time. New forecasting tools allow criminologists to predict the few people who are too dangerous to divert from prosecution, and the vast majority of minor offenders who are “super-safe” in terms of serious violence. By letting police manage these low-harm offenders, prosecuting them as a last resort rather than the first option, we may be able to cut crime, cut costs, and reduce the prison population. This Cambridge Criminology video talk describes the key experiments for testing this hypothesis.
