The N8 Policing Research Partnership (N8PRP) enables research collaborations that help address the problems of policing in the 21st century. As a regional hub for research and innovation in policing it provides a platform for collaborations between universities, Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), Government, police forces, and other partners working in policing policy, governance and practice."--Page 4.
Summary
The policing of the possession, consumption and supply of intoxicating substances takes up a lot of time and affects a very large number of people. The impact of such policing activity can be profound for the individuals involved and for relations with the police more broadly. British research in this area is surprisingly underdeveloped. This evidence review focuses on six key areas: the policing of cannabis; the policing of problem drug users; the policing of drugs markets; alcohol and the night time economy; dance drugs and dance clubs; and New Psychoactive Substances (NPS).
