• In 2020, calls to defund the police echoed a longstanding argument in critical criminology in favour of police abolition.
• Academics who forgo working with police are losing out on opportunities for critical data access and effective knowledge mobilization.
• Researchers who seek to understand and evaluate policing practice need access to large-scale, timely and highly sensitive data on police operations.

Intimate partner violence

• Intimate partner violence is one priority area that has seen the benefits of police-academic partnership.
• Studies showed that arrest reduced subsequent violence, but the impact varied according to an individual’s history of violence and other risk factors.
• We have been part of such partnerships over the course of our respective careers, from the creation of the first actuarial risk assessment tool for intimate partner violence to the testing of that tool in routine police practice.

Coercive control

• Recognition of non-physically violent but coercive and controlling forms of abuse has grown rapidly in recent years, especially with the increase in coercive control incidents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Coercive control involves repeated, systematic acts of isolation, intimidation and violation that undermine the partner and trap them in the abusive relationship.
• Keira’s Law, which passed the Senate on Aug. 17, 2023, is set to mandate coercive control training for judges.

How best to address coercive control?

• Police-academic partnerships can help answer crucial questions, including how police officers investigate coercive control, what the most effectual training methods are and whether policies are effective and equitable when implemented.
• The CELIA IPV project for intimate partner violence research is studying how police can recognize and respond to non-physical, coercive and controlling behaviours.

Evidence-based policing

• We’ll also examine risk-assessment approaches for people engaging in intimate partner violence across diverse gender and sexual identities, extending our partnerships and enhancing the potential for improving evidence-based policing whenever officers respond to a domestic call.
• Police-academic partnerships are not just about the academic search for knowledge, and not just about the evaluation of policing practice.
