CAN-SEBP Knowledge Incubator

This audio seminar covers the process of problem-oriented policing (POP). I cover what POP is, how it should be employed within an evidence-based policing context, the SARA model, and the use of POP in practice. Originally recorded for SOC 4451 (Policing) at the University of Western Ontario.

This audio seminar covers the issue of reported sexual assault cases being classified as 'unfounded'. More specifically, I discuss the findings of a Globe and Mail investigation, Statistics Canada classifications, and why many cases are classified as 'unfounded' to begin with. Originally recorded for SOC 4451 (Policing) at the University of Western Ontario.

This audio seminar covers the issue of Street Checks, otherwise known as 'Carding'. This practice is described, and then arguments both for and against the practice are outlined. Finally, I discuss the empirical research on this practice (or rather, lack thereof). Originally recorded for SOC 4451 (Policing) at the University of Western Ontario.

This audio seminar broadly covers the issue of fatal police-involved encounters. More specifically, I discuss the 2018 CBC investigation on fatal encounters, deaths in police custody, coroner's inquiries, coroner's inquests, and Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Originally recorded for SOC 4451 (Policing) at the University of Western Ontario.
