Ben Bradford is Professor of Global City Policing at University College London, where he is Director of the Centre for Global City Policing. He chats to Jerry Ratcliffe about police legitimacy, his research on what people want from the police, and what law enforcement leaders need to know about improving trust in policing.
Dr. Ian Adams talks about his career in policing, his transition to academia, and his recent policy research paper titled "Fuck: The Police." They discuss the use of profanity in policing and the need for a nuanced approach to regulating it. Adams conducted a survey experiment with police chiefs and sheriffs across the United States, finding a strong national consensus on the issue. He argues that policy should focus on the impact of profanity on public trust and professionalism rather than implementing blanket bans. Adams also highlights the creativity and problem-solving skills of police officers and the challenges they face in their daily work. Just be advised that the episode features strong, and often highly imaginative, language right from the start.
