Police and Deaths in Scotland: Prevention, Investigation, Transparency

SIPR was pleased to support the workshop ‘Police and Deaths in Scotland: Prevention, Investigation, Transparency’ through our Knowledge Exchange Grant funding.

Hosted at the University of Strathclyde, the workshop brought together colleagues from academia, policing, government, and wider stakeholder communities to explore the prevention, investigation, and understanding of deaths in police custody and following police contact in Scotland.

The session featured presentations from Professor Sarah Armstrong and Dr Betsy Barkas from the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research, alongside SIPR Director Dr Andrew Wooff, and included important discussion around data, transparency, accountability, and evidence informed approaches to prevention.

A really valuable and thought provoking event bringing together research, policy, and practice perspectives on an important and sensitive area of policing and justice.
