Evidence-based policing has been well-established in recent years. Police officers and researchers come together in societies for evidence-based policing in various countries and new bodies of evidence are being built in areas such as cyber-security and counter-terrorism. How will the field of crime and justice evolve over the coming years and what is the role of evidence in strengthening our justice systems?
