Policing and Law Enforcement

We focus on the challenges facing law-enforcement agencies in the 21st century and the opportunities that exist to overcome them.



Policing and Law Enforcement

Alongside analysis of shifts in the criminal landscape, RUSI’s research explores the challenges facing law-enforcement agencies in their efforts to effectively and relentlessly disrupt the operations of criminal actors. We produce evidence-based research to advise law-enforcement agencies in the UK and overseas on how best to take advantage of the opportunities presented by emerging technologies, while also undertaking tailored capacity-building of new tools to counter specific threats. We work to facilitate cross-sectoral dialogue between practitioners, policymakers and academics on key aspects of the threat and the current law-enforcement response.
