Work was originally focused on the following eight themes, led by academics from across the N8 Policing Research Partnership: Cyber-crime; Drugs and alcohol; Serious and organised crime; Domestic violence; Public order and crowd management; Critical incidents decision-making; Partnerships; Community engagement.
For each theme, a rapid review of research evidence was conducted, mapping of ongoing research and identifying research priorities followed by the publication of a short summary report. To support this work a series of thematic events/workshops with operational level police and partners also took place in different locations across the north of England.
