Why Lancaster

抖阴APP导航 offers a vibrant and supportive interdisciplinary research community with a world leading reputation for the application of social and behavioural sciences to policing areas of research interest.

Lancaster is a member of the (N8PRP) a collaboration between 8 research-intensive Universities and 11 police forces in the North of England include Cheshire, Cleveland, Cumbria, Durham, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, North Yorkshire, Northumbria, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

Research Excellence

Lancaster Policing Academic Centre of Excellence (L-PACE) is also supported by a range of Institutes and Centre's, most notably the (CREST), Security Lancaster (SL), the Data Science Institute (DSI), (FACTOR), (Nabs+) and the Cyber Security Research Centre (CSRC), the NCSC accredited Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR).

What we do

The Lancaster Policing Academic Centre of Excellence (L-PACE) will create a step-change in the ability of Lancaster’s social and behavioural sciences to have a practical and operational impact on policing Areas of Research Interests (ARI). Lancaster’s strengths in policing research is not only cross-disciplinary, but also built around expertise in the analysis of visual, linguistic and sensor data, and in partnership with organisations who are signed up to the Police-Industry Charter.

L-PACE will be a centre that promotes multidisciplinary, multi-modal and multi-sectorial research into policing ARIs, showcasing Lancaster’s multidisciplinary excellence in computational social science, psychology, linguistics, law, criminology and sociology. Working closely with police forces, L-PACE will drive collaboration across academia and policing, ensuring that policing is shaped by the latest and best scientific expertise, and that the UK’s leading researchers are able to challenge and innovate in partnership with policing as together we strive to improve public safety.

Our Industry Partners

L-PACE will work with commercial partners signed up to the Police Industry Charter to meet emerging technological policing challenges, and work to harness Lancaster’s expertise in the analysis of digital visual data, natural language data and ambient sensor data in the service of police ARIs. Our primary industry partners are , (software development and data intelligence) (UK law enforcement services)and (technical and business specialists).

Areas of Research Interest:

L-PACE demonstrates expertise and strengths across the following (ARI's), and aims to provide practical solutions to current policing problems in the following 5 areas:

1. Building and maintaining public trust
2. Crime prevention
3. Personal safety
4. Identification and tracing
5. Surveillance and sensing
