PhD Student Profile
Profile summary
I graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a BEd(Hons) in Teacher Education and Mathematics in 1998, and returned to study at CCCU graduating with a 1st Class BSc(Hons) on the in-service Policing Programme. I completed an MSc by Research from CCCU in 2016 examining police ongoing training and adult education principles. I commenced my PhD at CCCU in October 2016.
Research topic
Police Professionalism, professional development.
Research outline
My MSc Thesis presented an argument that currently the Police Service of England and Wales currently does not provide ongoing training in a manner which complies with adult education principles. Part of the College of Policing’s objectives is to provide effective Continuing Professional Development which will address this problem. This study will examine how this is to be achieved and to what degree it will be successful.
