Peter Neyroud serves as Associate Professor in Evidence-based Policing and Director of the Police Executive Programme at the University of Cambridge's Institute of Criminology, with additional affiliation at the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology. A former Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police (2002-2007) with 30+ years of frontline service, he transitioned to academia in 2011 following his pivotal role in establishing the UK's National College of Policing.
Education:
- Modern History, Oriel College, Oxford (1980)
- PhD in Criminology, Wolfson College, Cambridge (2017)
Research Focus: Neyroud pioneers evidence-based policing through field experiments like Operation Turning Point (diversion trials) and the Cambridge Crime Harm Index. His work critically examines police leadership ethics, pandemic policing impacts (advising UK SAGE), and counter-terrorism via Campbell Collaboration systematic reviews. He champions practical implementation of research in criminal justice reform.
Publication Trends: Recent output (2024-2025) reveals intense focus on global pandemic policing challenges—analyzing officer stress across 15+ countries, enforcement discretion in regulatory compliance, and urban-rural operational differences. Parallel work advances long-term strategies for police diversion and terrorism prevention, demonstrating his dual commitment to immediate crisis response and sustainable system reform.
Scientific Recognition:
- Queen's Police Medal (2004)
- CBE for policing services (2011)
- Campbell Collaboration Robert Boruch Award (2023)
Professional Impact: As General Editor of Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice and former Campbell Collaboration Co-Chair (10 years), he drives global evidence standards. His £2.3M Operation Turning Point RCT and current 5RD terrorism review program demonstrate significant grant leadership, directly shaping UK policing reform and UNODC community policing initiatives.
Collaborative Networks: Through the Police Executive Programme (training 200+ international senior officers annually) and Jerry Lee Centre partnerships, he cultivates practitioner-researcher networks focused on translating evidence into operational practice across 40+ countries.
