Keele Crim's Dr Helen Wells @roadspolicing and former Keele Crim PhD student @LeanneSavigar have a new book just out, based on Leanne's PhD work. The book uses distracted driving as a case study to critically examine the complexities of roads policing and make recommendations.

New piece out today from #RPAN members @LeanneSavigar, @DrGemmaBriggs and our director @roadspolicing
In our latest opinion piece, three experts outline how the potential displacement from handheld to handsfree phone use, as a result of existing enforcement efforts, could prove to be ‘hugely problematic’ for road safety. roadsafetygb.org.uk/news/opi… 🔗 #RSGB #WNTTAHF

Many thanks to @CheshireRCU for providing such an informative talk to our visiting @UNCWilmington students yesterday. They were particularly enthralled by the Stinger and asked me to show them videos of how they worked!

Just had a very interesting day with @keelecrim students and criminology students from @UNCWilmington observing proceedings at Crewe Magistrates Court. Many thanks to the Court Staff who took questions from students in between hearings and made it a fascinating session.

When @roadspolicing met @RoadPolicing! Keele Criminology's Dr Helen Wells was at @StaffsPolice HQ to give an input to the @RoadPolicing unit as part of their training event today.
A great input from @RoadsPolicingAN to officers on their RPO course with some great discussion around distracted driving. Another great input to keep the road users of @StaffsPolice safe from harm.
