Serving with Fairness, Integrity, Diligence and Impartiality: An Evidence-Based Approach for Reducing Bias and Prejudice in Policing In March of this year, Dr Les Graham hosted the 2018 Durham University Policing Conference: Insights from Evidence. The conference was opened by Professor Susan Hart, Dean of Durham University Business School, who welcomed the 135 senior police people from forces across the United Kingdom. The focus of the conference was on the evidence and underpinning theory from the collaborative research conducted with 36 police forces and on how forces have used the research findings to successfully achieve improvement of workplace factors to improve their effectiveness, and benefit their employees and the communities they serve. Of particular note at this year’s conference was the work Dr Les Graham has conducted working with Dr Netta Weinstein (School of Psychology - Cardiff University) ‘An Evidencebased Approach for Reducing Bias and Prejudice in Policing’.
