The combination of new technology and big data is transforming the landscape of crime and policing. This talk from Dr Ian Kearns adapts the concept of public value to the policing context to create a 'policing bottom line' and examines the various ways in which the police are using a data driven approach to deliver value to across its various dimensions. It also examines some of the key challenges and barriers facing the police as they seek to move in this direction.

Lunch will be provided.
