Bias Reduction in Policing
2020Â - Present
We have found that accepting and supportive others (parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, teachers, healthcare providers) are critical to the health and well-being of individuals from historically excluded groups. Much of this work focuses on LGBTQ+ individuals, finding that accepting others are helpful for coming out, self-acceptance, and mental and physical health. Below is a list of our publications on this topic. Some of these are reports used by policing and the Home Office and these files are available to download:
