Cambridge Centre for EBP Courses

Our partners at the Cambridge Centre for Evidence-based Policing (CCEBP) in Cambridge, U.K. are offering three upcoming courses:

Targeting Serious Violence with Evidenced-Based Policing (August 1-5, 2022)

This course comes with two options, the whole 5 days (analysts and researchers) or just the first three days (police leaders and aspiring leaders). The course is designed to help organizations identify those most likely to be victimized by serious violence. It will teach participants how to use the Cambridge Crime Harm Index (CCHI) and how to predict the micro-hot spots where murders and GBH assaults are most likely to occur. It will teach tactics for tracking police activities in hot spots in relation to crime trends, how to generate feedback, and the use of digital alarms to measure the delivery of patrol time by hot spot. It will also cover tracking criminal networks and testing the impact of police strategies applied to specific targets. The full details are here https://www.cambridge-ebp.co.uk/trsvcourse The three days Leaders element is £820.00 + VAT if residential. The non-residential option is £600 + VAT. The whole 5 days (more suitable for analysts and researchers) is £1440.00 + VAT if residential and £1,000 + VAT if non-residential. 

Targeting Crime in Place and Time. Advanced geospatial, temporal, and forecasting analysis (August 8-12, 2022) 

The second course teaches the use of tools relating to geospatial and temporal analysis. This is an advanced course for learners who have already completed the Targeting Serious Violence Course or its equivalent. It will instruct participants on the fundamental tenets and practices of spatial crime analysis, including, plotting spatial features, visualizing change across time, descriptive spatial analysis, point pattern analysis, time series analysis, forecasting using spatial features, time-sensitive hotspots, and pace-time cubes. The full course details are here https://www.cambridge-ebp.co.uk/targetingcrimeplacetime.  The cost is £1,440.00 + VAT if residential and if non-residential £1,000 + VAT. 

Criminal Network Analysis Course (September 20-23, 2022) 

This course will prepare investigators and analysts to use the tools of criminal network analysis in policing high-harm crimes. It will teach participants how to use criminal network analysis for a range of purposes, including, targeting criminal networks and their members, identifying central individuals – key players and brokers, identifying structural crime patterns, including criminal clustering, ranking of seriousness with any crime harm index or crime severity scores, prediction of future criminal behaviour or victimizations, tracking network activity through intelligence reports and testing the effects of interventions on networked criminal activity. Full details are here; https://www.cambridge-ebp.co.uk/criminal-network The cost is residential - £1940.00 + VAT, non-residential £1500 + VAT.
