In this talk, Dr Paul Brown will describe components of the research methodology and results of the prosecution study in Phase 1 of the Understanding Policing Delivery project.

The Understanding Policing Delivery project is investigating how Ngā Pirihimana o Aotearoa New Zealand Police deliver their services to various communities across New Zealand. Furthermore, it is examining whether evidence of systemic bias existed in three key areas:

  • who police stop and how they engage,

  • decision-making around the use-of-force, and

  • decision-making around prosecutions.

In this talk, Dr Paul Brown will describe components of the research methodology and   results of the prosecution study in Phase 1 of the Understanding Policing Delivery project. He will also briefly overview the work surrounding quality and use of police data.

Speaker:

Dr Paul Brown (Tainui, Ngāti Hikairo) is a Lecturer in Statistics at the University of Waikato. His research interests include computational Bayesian inference, statistical modelling, and Māori data sovereignty.

Dr Brown was a member of the research teams for Phase 1 of the Understanding Policing Delivery project.
