Criminal Justice Research Network
Academics and practitioners working together to foster knowledge exchange in the field of criminal justice.
About us
Founded in 2019, the Criminal Justice Research Network (CJRN) is a formal collaboration of researchers, practitioners and academics working in the field of criminal justice. The focus is on knowledge exchange, practice change, research collaboration and student engagement.
The CJRN comprises experts from the University of Winchester’s Centre for Forensic and Investigative Psychology (CFIP), and our Policing and Criminology experts, working alongside colleagues from other universities and criminal justice organisations.
Key objectives:
- Providing mutual understanding of current practices
- Sharing knowledge of relevant research and expertise
- Supporting evidence-based change in practice
- Enabling co-production of practice-informed research (collaborating on design, sharing data and findings)
- Engaging students in practice-led research
- Facilitating practitioner- and academic-supported student research
The CJRN aims to accomplish these by assisting with research development, research and knowledge exchange.
