Easier Said Than Done is the Society of Evidence Based Policing‘s (SEBP) monthly panel discussion about implementing evidence-based ideas. SEBP have partnered with the Youth Endowment Fund to give you an opportunity to hear from and interact with professionals involved in frontline practice. We try to get beneath the surface of the research and explore the ins and outs of what it’s like to actually make it happen on the ground.
If you register, you’ll receive SEBP’s briefing note on the research behind the topic and the post-panel summary notes.
