MA Evidence Informed Practice at Liverpool John Moores University

LJMU's Evidence-Informed Practice PgDip is designed for in-service criminal justice professionals who want to develop research skills. The programme will enhance your awareness of, and engagement with, research and (good/best) practice-informed evidence in the development of operational criminal justice practice. Building on the momentum of the successfully delivered Police Knowledge Fund, which developed participants' research skills and communication of often complex and sensitive findings, the programme draws on the fantastic wealth of interdisciplinary collaborations within the Faculty.
