Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies

Our biannual Chief Constable’s Lecture is a gathering of students, general public and members of the law enforcement community.

We are closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19. On Sunday, our Vice Chancellor Professor Ian Campbell wrote to our students and staff informing them that the university will cease face-to-face teaching for the rest of the semester. With this in mind, LJMU’s Centre for Advanced Policing has agreed with Lancashire Police constabulary to postpone the forthcoming Chief Constable’s lecture with Chief Constable Andy Rhodes on the 30th March.

School of Justice Studies is proud to announce the first Critical Seminar of the 2019 semester. We are looking forward to welcoming Shelly Stoops, Service Manager at Changing Lives who will be talking about S*x Worker Hate Crime and Responses to it.
