our tutors will be expecting to see in-text citations and full references in your assignments. Don’t forget, every in-text citation must also be fully referenced in your reference list at the end of your assignment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Example 1

Put in-text citations into round brackets, with each part separated by a comma:

This was also found to be the case in an earlier study (Guina, 2016, p.239).

Example 2

If you refer to an author directly in your assignment, only the year and the page number need to be inside the brackets. However, all 3 parts of the in-text citation must be next to each other in the text.

This was also commented on in a study by Guina (2016, p.239).

Example 3

Sometimes you don't need to put in the page numbers, for example, if you're summarising the whole of a source.

Similar phenomena have been observed in other studies (Guina, 2016).

Example of a badly-formatted citation

Put in-text citations right next to the point in your writing that the source is referred to, whether it's a quotation, paraphrase or a summary. The author's name, date and page numbers (if relevant) should always be together in the text, even if not all of this information is inside the brackets.

Guina notes how the subject's defence mechanisms for low-self esteem have become problematic in adulthood (2016, p.239).

This is incorrect because the author's name, Guina, has been separated from the year of publication and page number of the source the student has paraphrased.

Instead, you should write either:

Guina (2016, p.239) notes how the subject's defence mechanisms for low-self esteem have become problematic in adulthood.

or:

Guina notes how the subject's defence mechanisms for low-self esteem have become problematic in adulthood (Guina, 2016, p.239) .

In both of these examples, the citation text has been kept together.

It is a matter of personal style which you should use. Some people prefer the second example because they feel that the citation in the first example interrupts their sentence and makes it harder to read. In reality, you will probably use both types of citation at different points in your work.

The principles for joint working should be used during all phases of an incident, whether spontaneous or pre-planned and regardless of scale.
They support the development of a multi-agency response and provide structure during the response to all incidents.
The principles can also be applied during the recovery phase.

To help partners understand and solve our challenges, we have published Policing's Areas of Research Interest (ARIs).

Our ARIs capture priority science, technology, analysis and research challenges that, if addressed, will in our view significantly improve policing performance. We have formulated these ARIs through engagement with NPCC Coordination Committees, national enablers delivering science, technology, analysis and research across forces, and our wider partners.

These top-level ARIs are complemented by an emerging set of organisation-specific ARIs that capture domain needs, and include:

Policing's ARIs will also be found on the dedicated government ARI portal ari.org.uk to help support the identification of cross cutting themes of importance across multiple departments. We will review and refresh Policing's ARIs on a yearly basis. We aim to socialise the ARIs widely and want to engage the community to understand views and inform our ambitions based on feedback. We recognise the important role we play in delivering the UK's science superpower agenda. We will use the ARIs to support UKRI, government and others to align relevant funding opportunities and we will ensure that our priorities echo wider government priorities for investment, as set out in the Integrated Review and the UK Innovation Strategy. We will also run events and challenges around key areas, inviting industry and academia to help develop solutions.

We welcome your engagement with Policing's ARIs in the following ways:

If you have evidence or plan to carry out research that completely or partly answers one of our ARIs, we invite you to share that with us.

For ongoing research relevant to policing and crime reduction, we encourage you to register your research on the College of Policing's research projects map.

If you are submitting a funding or grant application that aligns with one of our ARIs, we hope that referencing Policing's ARIs will help to strengthen your case for the possible public impact of the research.

We will use these ARIs to structure our collaboration and engagement, including with UKRI, and will publish any opportunities for funding on our website.

If you enjoy facing challenges, solving problems and would like to contribute to keeping your community safe while developing a wider range of skills, then policing could be for you. There are many different ways you can contribute to the police.

The College of Policing can help with information to make decisions about the best way you could get involved. We also provide information on the professional training, qualifications and standards you'll need to achieve to become a police officer.

The recruitment of officers and police staff is usually done directly by forces themselves.

Building trust with communities

In collaboration with theNorthern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy, the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy at George Mason University has created this free training resource to help law enforcement identify positive ways forward in the effort to improve and restore trust with the communities they serve.

Campbell Collaboration

The Campbell Collaboration is an international research network that produces systematic reviews of the effects of social interventions in crime and justice, education, international development and social welfare. The network believes that a systematic and rigorous approach to research synthesis improves the knowledge base for decisions on policy and practice.

Center for Evidence-Based Management

The Center for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa) is an independent, non-profit foundation that provides support and education to managers, leaders, consultants, teachers and others who want to enhance their understanding of how an evidence-based approach helps people in organisations make better decisions.

Cost-Benefit Knowledge Bank for Criminal Justice

Helping practitioners to carry out cost-benefit studies and apply cost-benefit analysis to policy and practice.

Crime reduction toolkit

The crime reduction toolkit summarises the best-available research evidence on what works to reduce crime. It allows users to see the impact of different interventions on crime and understand how they work, where they work, how to implement them and their cost.

Evidence-Based Policing Matrix

A translation tool, hosted in the George Mason University's Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy (CEBCP). It maps research findings visually to show what works and provides access to the details of every study.

Global Policing Database (GPD)

The Evidence and Insight Team from the Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) has worked with experts from the University of Queensland to develop the Global Policing Database. This is a web-based, searchable database designed to capture all experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations of policing interventions conducted since 1950.

Problem-oriented policing resources

Access to a huge range of resources for crime and ASB problem-solving developed in the USA, hosted by the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing.

Society of Evidence Based Policing (SEBP)

The Society of Evidence Based Policing is run by EBP enthusiasts alongside their roles as practitioners and academics. The society is made up of police officers, police staff, and research professionals who aim to make evidence based methodology part of everyday policing in the UK.

A 'shelfmark' or 'call number' is a number that tells you where a book an be found in the library. Our main lending collection is on Level 2. Each row of shelves has a poster on the end that tells you what shelfmarks can be found there.

You can use the table on this page to see the general areas that main topics in your subject are shelved. Sometimes, casually browsing the shelves can turn up some great resources!

A shelfmark with two or three letters preceding it means that the book is not shelved in the main collection.

SE means it will be in our School Experience Collection on Level 0

LH means it will be in the Local History Collection on Level 2

REF or JHN is for the Reference or John Henry Birmingham Newman Collections on Level 1. You cannot borrow books from these collections: they can only be used in the Library.

Zotero is an online tool and application that can help you to manage your references. You can use it to:

create reference lists and reference list entries in Harvard*, OSCOLA and APA styles

store and organise the sources you use in your assignments

read, take notes and manage your reading and sources

We recommend that students at level 6 (3rd year undergraduates) and level 7 (master's level) use some kind of reference management system. The Librarians find that using Zotero gives the best experience of the free reference management tools available in terms of usability and features. Both the online version and the downloadable desktop app are free to use.

The Library can support you with you use of Zotero online and with the Windows application. We are less experienced with the iOS and mobile versions.

Birmingham Newman University does not have a commercial relationship with the Zotero, and Zotero is not the only free reference management tool available. You are free to choose any of the others if you find that they suit you better; however, the Librarians may not be able to support you with other tools and applications to the same level.

* Zotero supports Cite them right 12th edition Harvard (no "et al.") referencing, which is equivalent to Newman Harvard for all purposes. You will not be penalised for any small differences between this style and Newman Harvard style.
