Dr Tom Cockcroft is Reader in Criminology at Leeds Beckett University.
A leading authority on police culture, Tom's most recent work has seen him explore the challenges for police organisations of developing effective cybercrime training; the impact of police dispersal powers on young people; the challenges of applying transformational leadership models to police contexts; the experiences of police officers studying on Higher Education programmes; the relationship between police culture and the police professionalisation agenda and the impact of new knowledge paradigms in policing. In addition to this, he has recently worked on a major College of Policing/HEFCE funded piece of research, with West Yorkshire Police entitled 'An Evidence-Based Approach to Fighting Cyber Crime from the Frontline: Improving the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Investigating Cyber Enabled Crime'. He has a track record of successful engagement and completion of contracts with a host of police and criminal justice organisations both in UK and international contexts (including West Yorkshire Police, Europol, the Home Office and the Bundeskriminalamt [the German Federal Police]). He is the author of Police Culture: Themes and Concepts (Routledge) and sits on the editorial boards of Cogent Social Sciences (Taylor and Francis), Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice (Oxford University Press) and Journal of Criminological Research, Policy and Practice (Emerald).
