Support

Connect with organizations that can help

The Reducing Crime podcast is a monthly podcast featuring conversations with influential thinkers in the police service and leading crime and policing researchers working to advance public safety. Jerry Ratcliffe (professor and former police officer) chats to a range of international guests covering police, policing, crime science, criminology, criminal justice, and public safety policy. While it aims to be often amusing, often enlightening, and always informative, some of the topics discussed are serious and sensitive. You can connect with organizations that can provide support. You don’t have to go through it alone.
