Abstract
There is widespread agreement that social policies need to be based on strong evidence, to ensure they produce their intended outcomes whilst minimising unwanted side-effects, and that they are cost-effective. A total of six What Works Centres are planned, including one on Crime Reduction. This proposal is for a three year Partnership Programme to support the WWCCR within the College of Policing. It will feed into and feed off the work of the other five centres.
The research will involve close collaboration with the College in shaping the agenda and in conducting some of the individual work packages. Although based at the College of Policing the research spans a wide area including:
1. Developmental and social prevention
2. Correctional interventions
3. Drug treatment interventions
4. Sentencing and deterrence
5. Community interventions
6. Situational prevention
A University Consortium for Evidence-Based Crime Reduction with expertise covering these areas is being formed to deliver the programme. The consortium is intended to outlast this programme of work and to continue to build capacity for the creation and use of evidence to improve the effectiveness of social policies. Proposed academic partners include: UCL, Birkbeck, Cardiff, Dundee, the Institute of Education (IoE), London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Surrey and Southampton. We hope over time to attract other universities into the consortium.
There is now quite a lot of relevant research, but it is hard at present for practitioners to locate and make sense of this material. The research programme will start by drawing together existing reviews of crime reduction evidence, and identifying gaps. It will then conduct a further twelve original reviews to fill the most significant gaps. This is a major piece of work, and forms the core of the programme. We shall then develop methods for costing crime reduction interventions, devise simple ways of communicating the results of reviews to decision-makers, and apply these methods to the existing reviews and the new ones that we ourselves carried out.
Additionally the programme will involve carrying out original research, as we expect there to be some major gaps in the evidence base. We shall also develop, deliver and assess a pilot programme to equip practitioners to understand, critique and make effective use of available research evidence. Finally, the programme includes provision to test the impact of the What Works Centre, and this element is to be undertaken independently of those involved in the other elements of the programme.
Although the need for What Works evidence is widely acknowledged, there is disagreement about the best ways of carrying out evaluations, and of summarising evidence. We propose to draw on the main methods currently used both to synthesise evidence and to conduct evaluations. The reviews will not plump for any individual approach, but will tailor the approach to fit the nature of the available research that is being summarised. We aim to adopt a relatively inclusive approach that enables us to draw on a wide range of studies, provided that they reach acceptable levels of probity in speaking to What Works in crime reduction.
It is crucial that the quality and relevance of evidence is understood by police decision makers; they need to apply the information in ways that are sensitive to local contexts and tailored to local circumstances. Much of the proposed work focuses on the development and piloting of tools to help them improve outcomes by making best use of available evidence. Determining what works to reduce crime in what might be very different contexts is a complex process, and requires thought and creativity on the part of users. Presenting evidence in a stimulating way to busy practitioners (ranging from police and probation to local authorities, health practitioners, community groups and industry) is a major challenge.

Planned Impact
Crime is a global problem. Developing evidence based techniques for its reduction is of wide interest. This project addresses these challenges. The work is intended to:
1. Identify and improve the knowledge base for what works in crime reduction
2. Ensure findings are disseminated to relevant academics and practitioners in the UK and internationally
3. Develop novel approaches to determining what has worked and will work in specific settings, combining the best of current synthesis techniques
4. Broaden the skill base of prevention practitioners in relation to their understanding, appraisal and use of evidence when implementing crime reduction interventions.
There are four major beneficiary groups: academics, practitioners, government and the general public.
Academic impact: An inter-university consortium of UK universities will support the training of highly skilled researchers and facilitate the generation and transfer of new methods of research synthesis across the country. This will make the UK a major source of expertise in assessing what works in crime reduction. It will also establish UK universities as global providers of practitioner training in what works. There is a massive demand for such training particularly in the emerging economies of India and South America. Consultants from a wide international base are being drawn in to assist with the work and in disseminating the later results. UK academics will, we believe, benefit immensely from these contacts, drawn from a range of academic disciplines.
Practitioner impact: With downward pressure on budgets better use needs to be made of research evidence on what works. This programme is intended to support the injection of evidence into decision-making in crime reduction whether by the police, police and crime commissioners, other professional groups, local governments, commerce or industry. The inclusion of costs into this process is important and we intend to develop an approach taking account of where the costs of crime fall. For example, Internet service providers do not carry the costs of Internet crime but are well placed to increase the security of the web. To integrate this programme successfully into practice requires a significant culture change: crime reduction is sometimes neglected and poor use is often made of such evidence on what works as is available. Similarly, we will consider the means of introducing the products of the research into corrections, probation, schools etc. as appropriate and depending upon the topics identified.
Government impact: It is intended that this work will assist in shaping the crime reduction agenda at national level. Through benchmarking, monitoring and evaluation, the programme will identify current strengths and weaknesses in crime reduction delivery. In doing this, gaps in knowledge and skills will be identified and where possible filled and good practice will be shared via accessible but academically rigorous dissemination. This should assist government departments in ensuring relevant, high quality evidence is delivered to those involved in public service.
Societal impact: The application of the results will contribute to increased well-being of citizens, particularly the more disadvantaged amongst whom crime and disorder tend to concentrate. Crime should be reduced at reduced cost. Internationally the programme may contribute to reduced crime by informing crime reduction activities in both British and non-British jurisdictions. The results may also help address trans-national organised crime, which impacts the UK as much as elsewhere.
The programme will also:
1. Contribute to increased public awareness of successful crime reduction methods.
2. Highlight areas where further research and development are needed.
3. Inform and improve national debates on policies relating to effective crime reduction through seminars, conferences, and media contacts.

'Officer Diversity and Police Organizational Outcomes'
| Description | Crime reduction initiatives have been systematically reviewed for many years, and the results have been reported in the research literature. In the first work package associated with this grant we systematically identified all existing systematic reviews of crime reduction initiatives for the first time and provided summary descriptions of them. 12 additional reviews were carried out on topics agreed between the research team and the College of Policing. It is unusual to carry out research in such close partnership with practitioners and resulted in fruitful co-working. We were concerned, for example, to ensure that the coding frames and other protocols that were developed as part of this part of the programme were understood by the staff of the College as it is they that are going to be expected to continue with the process of summarising future systematic reviews of crime reduction initiatives as they are published. Wherever possible an innovative 'mixed methods' approach was taken to the new reviews, following the Campbell Collaboration and realistic approaches. We developed an original method of summarising the results of these reviews in a form that was intended to be of maximum use to practitioners and to provide them with the necessary information to develop effective responses to crime in different contexts. This approach, which summarised all the reviews in a standard format, provided information on the effect size, mechanism, moderating conditions (such as the context), implementation and economic considerations. The acronym EMMIE describes these characteristics and formed the basis of the online toolkit which was also developed as part of the project. This now forms the basis of the What Works in Crime Reduction toolkit on the College of Policing website. We also developed a new method of assessing the cost and cost effectiveness of the initiatives and provided advice to the police in implementing these techniques. Two further work packages involved the development of training packages for the police and their subsequent testing and dissemination. These packages were developed in consultation with the police and with staff from the College of Policing to ensure maximum adoption and relevance. The material that was developed, together with further subsequent elaborations are now incorporated into police training on a wide scale, including internationally. A modest programme of original research was carried out covering four topics: smart safe cities; DASH (a method for assessing the risk associated with domestic violence); Nudges, tugs and teachable moments and 'Prevent-ing Problems': applying what works in general crime prevention to countering violent extremism. Each topic resulted in at least two academic publications. The grant also supported an independent evaluation of the What Works Centre for Crime Reduction. This review was unique in assessing one of the Government's 'What Works Centres' and as such generated considerable interest from the Cabinet Office. |
| Exploitation Route | The 9 work packages associated with this grant are all now complete. They resulted in the identification of existing systematic reviews on what works in crime reduction and in a further 12 new reviews on topics agreed with the College of Policing (co-funders). A method was developed to provide summaries of these reviews which would be of use to practitioners including the police. This information was developed into a web-based toolkit which is now available on the College of Policing website. In addition, training material was developed in collaboration with the police to ensure that they website and the associated toolkit was understood and of practical use to crime reduction practitioners. Further original research was completed as part of work package eight, in collaboration with the police. This was published and disseminated at a range of meetings and conferences. A final conference was held at the British Library in 2017 to mark the end of the contract. This was well attended by government officials, police and other crime reduction practitioners, academics and research council staff. The EMMIE framework is becoming the standard against which what works reviews in crime reduction are carried out. College of Policing staff have been trained in its use via a series of secondments to UCL from 2016 -2018. One of our CI's, Dr Lisa Tompson, has received further funding from the College of Policing to produce additional material for the What Works in Crime Reduction Toolkit'. She has now negotiated yet more funding on this in collaboration with colleagues at UCL. |

| Description | The What Works project has already made considerable strides in creating economic and societal impact in the public sector, particularly the policing and crime reduction arena, and the academic community interested in carrying out systematic reviews. Work package 1 of the project, which is now complete, resulted in the identification of almost 40 systematic reviews on crime reduction - the first such exhaustive exercise in this domain. These reviews have now been summarised following the framework developed under work package 3 (the EMMIE framework) and 35 narratives have been added to the new Crime Reduction Toolkit developed by the project team in conjunction with the UK College of Policing and which has been available online since mid-2015 at: http://whatworks.college.police.uk/toolkit/Pages/Toolkit.aspx. The toolkit is an open access facility and is now accessed by the police, Police and Crime Commissioners and others with an interest in crime reduction. This toolkit is impacting on how police forces and other crime reduction agencies from the public and third sector make decisions with regards to which interventions to adopt when tackling specific crime problems. The College of Policing - co-sponsors of this project - are strongly promoting this toolkit to ensure that all the key audiences are engaged with it. The toolkit, and the EMMIE methodology, mark a bold new attempt to embed evidence-based practise into the thinking of police practitioners in particular, and crime reduction professionals and academics at large. To this end presentations on the EMMIE framework and the toolkit have been made to forces across the UK, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and other parts of Europe. In addition the framework has been welcomed by other 'what works' centres in the UK as a step change in conveying the output from research to practitioners. A pilot training package was developed for the EMMIE framework (work package 6), which was piloted in four police forces over the summer of 2015 (work package 7). This was well received by those trained and the programme has been developed for further dissemination. Under work package 5 of the project, advice has been generated on costing crime reduction initiatives and a tool to aid police and other crime reduction practitioners is now available as a spreadsheet and in an accompanying book entitled "Economic Analysis and efficiency in policing, criminal justice and crime reduction: what works". Interest from a number of police forces indicates that this element of the project may have a healthy future economic impact on practitioner decision-making. March 2019 update: The entries on the College of Policing toolkit continue to grow; there are now 55, the vast majority of which were provided by the research team. Presentations on the work have been made at a number of conferences in the UK and abroad. In addition briefing on the work has been provided to overseas delegations to the UK and at meetings in Australia and New Zealand. The research has also been integrated into the CPD courses provided in the UK and overseas as well as the undergraduate and post graduate teaching courses provided by UCL Jill Dando Institute. Interest from practitioners in the UK and overseas has continued. In 2019 one of our Research team won a contract from South Yorkshire Police to evaluate a national initiative funded by the Home Office to implement problem oriented policing and problem solving throughout UK police forces. This topic is closely related to the what works project and we have continued to promote EMMIE during this new programme. Additionally the Home Office is in the process of funding a major project in England and Wales aimed at developing safer streets, particularly reducing domestic burglary. The programme is costing £25m and will, we hope, lead to increasing interest in the evidence base on what works. March 2020 update: EMMIE continues to be used across policing. For example at the 2020 UK Police Problem Solving Conference, a keynote speech from the CEO of the College of Policing made extensive reference to the Toolkit and the use of EMMIE. Training on the use of the toolkit and associated framework continues with renewed interest as a consequence of the over £6m funding to South Yorkshire Police to promote police problem solving nationally. The evaluation of this work by UCL is now drawing to a close and has drawn on experience gained during the course of the grant. March 2021 update: A tool similar to that developed under this grant, using the EMMIE framework, has been developed for use in Latin America in Portuguese and Spanish. The toolkit and EMMIE framework are being used by individual police forces across the UK, for example, one major UK police agency used the toolkit to inform their deployment of sobriety checkpoints aimed at the reduction of drink driving. Other UK What Works Centres are also using the EMMIE framework, beyond criminal justice. For example the What Works Centre for Children's Social Care use the framework as the basis of their work. March 2022 update: EMMIE continues to be integrated into police training in the UK and other jurisdictions. It is also being further developed academically. For example, EMMIE is now being promoted as a tool for policy development as well as practical application. A publication on this has already been accepted. The EMMIE framework continues to identify gaps in primary research and points to the need for more sophisticated research methods using realist analysis for example, leading to the testing of different mechanisms in various contexts. See, for example, Sidebottom and Tilley, (2022). |
