Recent patterns and trends in UK dog theft
The last few years have witnessed growing concerns in the UK over the offence of dog theft. Despite this comparatively little has been written on the phenomenon of dog theft in the UK. The aims of this article are (1) to identify variation in the extent of dog theft in the UK for the period 2020–2022 and (2) to determine patterns of dog theft during this period. To achieve these aims, the article presents an analysis of Police FOI data for the pe…
Lessons learned
This article presents the findings of an initial evaluation of an innovative contribution by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) to Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) teaching in schools within the region, namely the Police-Education (Pol-Ed) programme. Pol-Ed contributes police specific knowledge into the PSHE curriculum with the aim of keeping children safe from crime and victimisation. This article details the findings of a mixed-methods st…
Contested framings of climate change and health in the Arctic
Knowledge Mobilization in Community-based Arctic Research
Knowledge mobilization (KMb) is widely recognized as being essential to research, but there is limited academic guidance on how to do this well. This paper builds on the growing body of literature to develop a framework of key principles for KMb focused on Indigenous communities in the North American Arctic. We used a literature search and coding of identified good practice from both the grey and peer-reviewed literature (n = 80), alongside semi-…
Pursuing an Indigenous Platform
Despite growing consensus that Indigenous peoples, knowledge systems, rights and solutions should be meaningfully included in international climate change governance, substantive improvements in practice remain limited. An expanding body of scholarship examines the evolving discursive space in which issues facing Indigenous peoples are treated, with a predominant focus on decision outcomes of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC…
Evaluating the effectiveness of hazard mapping as climate change adaptation for community planning in degrading permafrost terrain
Permafrost in northern Canada is susceptible to degradation due to rapid climate change, with hazard mapping promoted as an important activity to guide sustainable community adaptation and planning. This paper presents a framework for evaluating permafrost mapping exercises designed to inform climate change adaptation actions. We apply the framework using a case study of the Incorporating Climate Change into Land Development-Terrain Analysis proj…
