Lecture Series
“My highlight has been the opportunity to welcome so many faces, both old and new, to the University to listen to and learn from these inspirational talks. So much of what we do in research applies directly to the public in the real world, and these events are a great way to let people know about our work.� Series organiser Dr Berenice Golding
This year’s Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences Public Lecture Series took place throughout the first half of 2013, providing an opportunity for members of the wider community to learn about some of the exciting research activity being undertaken within the Institute, as well as hearing from other researchers and guests working within similar fields nationally. As an Institute we strive to engage with the public as well as the wider research community, and hosting this programme of free lectures has allowed us to do this in an interesting and accessible way.

The Public Lecture Series commenced in January 2013 with a talk by Professor Eric Blyth from the Centre for Applied Childhood Studies. His talk, entitled: ‘Unknown Unknowns’: The Politics of Anonymous Sperm and Egg Donation’ explored the implications of conventional approaches to medically-assisted sperm and egg donation for family-building, encouraging the audience to think about families and family trees and the ways that those dynamics change when someone uses donated sperm or eggs. Professor Blyth also spoke about his sixteen year involvement in campaigns to end donor anonymity in the UK and elsewhere. A presentation by visiting speaker Professor Philip Keeley from the University of Manchester followed in February. Entitled ‘Psychological Interventions for People with Physical Illness’, his talk examined the ways in which people experience physical health problems that are challenging to live with and treat. Professor Keeley also offered an interesting insight into acronyms chosen by research teams for their projects, citing a study known as the MUSICIAN trial - Managing Unexplained Symptoms In Primary Care: Involving Traditional and Accessible New Approaches – which the audience thoroughly enjoyed.
Professor David Canter, Director of the International Research Centre for Investigate Psychology gave the third, highly anticipated presentation entitled ‘How Offender Profiling became Investigate Psychology’. Informative and interspersed with humour, Professor Canter’s talk explored the emergence of offender profiling as a scientific discipline and included fascinating television footage of him assisting with homicide investigations. The penultimate lecture in the series took place in June, co-presented by Dr Marilynne Kirshbaum from the Centre for Health and Social Care Research and Tara Beaumont, Clinical Nurse Specialist and Lead for Metastatic Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer Care. Entitled ‘‘Tackling Fatigue after Cancer Treatment: What can we do?”, the talk offered an insightful look at the various causes of fatigue and the best ways to manage the distressing effects of excessive tiredness, utilising research findings and the real life experiences of breast cancer patients as a background.
The final lecture in the series saw renowned poet and playwright Lemn Sissay MBE return to the University to deliver an inspirational talk entitled ‘GOOGLE ME – A Talk about Identity by Someone Finding Theirs’. Beginning with a recital of his poem ‘Morning Breaks’, his talk centred around the story of his life in the care system and challenged the audience to think about prevailing narratives about being a ‘child of the state’; the current state of the care system in the UK and what it means to be a young person within that system. Speaking with candour, humour and passion, Lemn received a standing ovation from the audience in response to his emotive talk – a fantastic end to the series. This year’s series of public lectures has proved to be greatly successful, described by attendees as ‘engaging,’ ‘excellent’, ‘insightful’ and ‘thought-provoking’. Series organiser Dr Berenice Golding acknowledged the impact of the events in sharing and disseminating the research of the Institute with wider communities; saying “my highlight has been the opportunity to welcome so many faces, both old and new, to the University to listen to and learn from these inspirational talks. So much of what we do in research applies directly to the public in the ‘real world’, and these events are a great way to let people know about our work”. Planning for the 2013/14 series is well underway, and it is already looking as though it will be another interesting, informative and engaging series.

Lemn Sissay Scholarship Recipient
Belinda Bluff
Belinda Bluff is studying for a PhD in Psychology within the Institute for Research In Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences. She is also the first person to receive the Lemn Sissay scholarship, awarded to an outstanding individual who has been in care and is studying for a PhD. Here Belinda shares her experiences of studying at Huddersfield. Thesis title: A Phenomenological Approach to Care Leavers Experiences of the Transition to Higher Education Main Supervisor: Professor Nigel King Affiliated Research Centre: Centre for Applied Childhood Studies Please provide brief details of your educational background: I enrolled at the University of Huddersfield to study psychology in 2007 and graduated with a first class degree in 2010. Later that year I enrolled to study for a PhD in psychology.
What sparked your interest in this topic and prompted you to pursue it? Whilst in my final year in high school I entered the care of my local authority and obtained first-hand experience of education from the perspective of being in care. I very quickly became aware that it was not expected that children in care would progress through education and I wanted to explore the reasons for this. My experience of going to university as a care leaver meant that I was eligible for the Lemn Sissay scholarship, which is the first of its kind. Lemn is a famous poet, playwright and an associate artist at the Southbank Centre, and has been in care himself. I have met many other care leavers over the last few years, and it has become apparent that the support given to care leavers varies greatly. Through these experiences my interest and passion in this area grew, not only personally but also from an academic perspective. My aim is to improve the educational experiences of those who have entered and had experience of the care system. How have you found your experience of studying for a PhD? The main challenge I have faced is self-doubt. There have been many times I have doubted my own ability, and during these times I have often received support from other students within the research environment at Huddersfield, which I have always found very engaging and supportive.
Please provide brief details of your thesis topic: My PhD research investigates the experiences of care leavers transitioning to higher education. The research comprises two studies; firstly it explores care leavers’ transition to higher education at one singular point in their first or second year at university. The second study investigates this period of transition longitudinally, at three stages during the care leavers’ transition to university and how other life transitions affect them during this time.
06
What are your future plans on completion of your PhD? I intend to apply for a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I also feel incredibly passionate about research, especially within the field of education and children in care.

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Crime in West Yorkshire? For the first time in British history, responsibility for reducing crime has been placed in the hands of elected Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). In June, the Applied Criminology Centre (ACC), in partnership with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, held a one day conference to address the questions raised by this appointment. PCCs were elected in November 2012 and are in charge of the budgets for policing and community safety for entire police force areas. They have enormous influence, with the ability to hire and fire Chief Constables, and are required to produce an annual Police and Crime Plan setting out their vision and priorities for reducing crime. But how are they going to meet this challenge? What questions should they be asking? What do they need to know about crime and how safe people feel? What should they be doing? How will they know if what they are doing is actually working? Held on 27 June 2013, the conference saw over 70 delegates attend from across West Yorkshire, including representatives from the police, prison service, fire service, local authorities and non-statutory agencies. The event included a range of presentations, posters and workshops covering a diverse range of topics from burglary, perceptions of safety and alcohol-related violence; to counterterrorism, hate crime and reducing offending. Guest speakers included Mark Burns-Williamson, PCC for West Yorkshire; Craig Guildford, Assistant Chief Constable of the West Yorkshire Police; Mark Siddall, Director of Operations at the West Yorkshire Probation Trust and Victim Support Divisional Manager Lesley McLean.
Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences
The day ended with a ‘question time’ debate, in which speakers were invited to give their views on topics such as whether prisoners should be given the right to vote and how far the police base their decisions on research evidence. Agreed by all to be a great success, the conference demonstrated how using the research skills and expertise available in research units such as the ACC might deliver tangible benefits for PCCs and the communities that they serve.

COPING:
Children of Prisoners, Interventions and Mitigations to Strengthen Mental Health 2013 has seen the culmination of the EU-funded COPING project, involving an international event in Brussels followed by the publication of a report of findings in July. Working in six countries, involving ten partners and five languages; the COPING project examined mental health, wellbeing and resilience amongst children of imprisoned parents. COPING researchers set out to understand how the imprisonment of a parent really affects children. Working in different countries, with different social and cultural traditions, incarceration levels, policies and interventions; the research involved over 1500 children and parents (including imprisoned parents) and has produced evidence to inform policy and programmes to better support and protect children from the effects of parental imprisonment right across Europe. Research findings show that these children are at heightened risk of negative outcomes in terms of social and economic disadvantage, stigmatization, and behavioural and mental health problems. However, resilience is improved depending upon the quality of family relationships, contact with the imprisoned parent and support available. The final report of findings from the COPING project was launched at the University during an event on 9 July 2013, which saw external visitors join with staff and students for a programme of speakers and a presentation of the final report by project leader Professor Adele Jones.

Understanding Child Sexual Abuse: Perspectives from the Caribbean
The first book of its kind, this ground breaking text draws extensively on previously unpublished material to address the issue of child sexual abuse within the Caribbean, a region previously unexplored in published work. The culmination of a collaborative initiative between the University of Huddersfield, UNICEF (Eastern Caribbean) and the University of the West Indies; the book includes multi-disciplinary contributions from areas of psychology, law, social work, early childhood education and sociology and addresses for the first time the limitations of models for child protection developed in the West which may in some cases be ineffective in the majority world.
“In unveiling the myriad faces of child sexual abuse (this book) has the real potential for transforming thinking, reactions and responses across the globe” In February 2013, Director of the Centre of (reviewer) Applied Childhood Studies (CACS) Professor Adele Jones visited Barbados and Trinidad for a series of events commencing with the launch of her book ‘Understanding Child Sexual Abuse: Perspectives from the Caribbean’.
QMiP
Conference: ‘Making a Difference, Making Ourselves Known’ Full conference information can be found at www.bps.org.uk/qmip2013
The launch in Barbados kicked off a series of events, workshops, seminars and public lectures, which aimed to promote the rights of women and children in addressing sexual victimisation and exploitation, strengthen the implementation of measures to prevent instances of child sexual abuse and contribute to awareness, understanding and behaviour changes relating to gender-based violence. The book launch included key speakers from UNICEF and the University of the West Indies, and featured a digital art exhibition by Jaime Lee Toy whose work appears on the book cover.
In September 2013, the Centre for Applied Psychological Research (CAPR) will host the Qualitative Methods in Psychology (QMiP) conference. QMiP is the largest special interest section of the British Psychological Society (BPS), providing a network for those interested in the utility, diversity, rigour and innovation of qualitative approaches in psychological science, and the impact of these methods on theory, research and practice. Entitled ‘Making a Difference, Making Ourselves Known’, this national conference will aim to nurture collaboration, enabling academics and clinicians to share ideas and expertise; and will showcase to a wider audience the growing impact of qualitative measures on the discipline of psychology.
Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences
Keynote speakers will include Professor Kathy Charmaz from the Sonoma State University, Dr Rachel Shaw from Aston University and Professor Nigel King, the Director of CAPR.
“I am delighted that Huddersfield will be hosting the QMiP conference this year, it undoubtedly reflects CAPR’s strong presence in this area of research expertise. I’m also really pleased that, in addition to our staff, a number of our postgraduate students successfully passed the peer reviewed submission process and will be presenting their research at the conference”.

Dr Abigail Locke plays key role as Chair of
the Social Psychology section of the British Psychological Society Dr Abigail Locke has begun a three-year term of office as Chair of the Social Psychology section of the British Psychological Society (BPS). A member of the BPS throughout her career, Dr Locke’s new role will see her playing a key part in influencing the direction of the social psychology discipline, liaising between the academic world and the Society as a whole. Dr Locke, whose own research revolves around issues of social psychology, believes that studies in this area can lead to a real understanding of society and its impact on individuals and is passionate about the importance of her discipline.
“Social Psychology is the study of how people interact with the world. We are all social beings. Every time we turn on the television, read a newspaper, use social media or have a conversation, we are engaging as social beings with the wider world. Social Psychology as a discipline gives us the theory and research tools needed in order to reach an understanding of this.”
“As a discipline it helps us to map society and also understand the social world’s impact on the person. Its strength as a social science is in its dual nature as it has the capacity to deal with both wider societal issues whilst considering the effects of this on the individual.” For more information on the work of the Social Psychology section of the BPS, visit www.socialpsychologyuk.net/

Frontline: A Photo
Ethnography of Drug Using Environments
“The ‘Frontline’ exhibition
concerns the topic of injecting drug use, and depicts public environments affected by the use of substances such as heroin, crack cocaine and amphetamine sulphate.” Dr Stephen Parkin
Initially displayed at the University of Huddersfield in September last year, the exhibition ‘Frontline: A Photo-Ethnography of Drug Using Environments’ travelled to Lithuania in June 2013 as part of the ‘Values of Harm Reduction’ conference organised by Harm Reduction International (HRI). The result of almost five years of visual ethnographic fieldwork conducted throughout the UK, the ‘Frontline’ exhibition concerns the topic of injecting drug use, and depicts public environments affected by the use of substances such as heroin, crack cocaine and amphetamine sulphate. Including around 100 images, the exhibition is organised into themes of place, litter and spatial management; and successfully visualises solution focused research conducted by IRCAHS member Dr Stephen Parkin alongside Plymouth University and the Economic and Social Research Council of Great Britain. This year’s HRI conference, held in Vilnius, Lithuania, attracted a global delegation of researchers, practitioners and activists from the field of harm reduction and related policy. Feedback from delegates who attended the exhibition and the presentation of the related paper delivered in the ‘Dialogue Space’ was entirely positive, in some cases even leading to interest in future collaborative projects with Dr Parkin. In August 2013, the ‘Frontline’ exhibition will travel to the University of Manchester, to be presented at the 17th World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES). The focus of the exhibition at this event will be the applied value that visual methods such as photography can bring to research within the social sciences.

Performance Image Enhancing Drug Seminar The Centre for Health and Social Care Research (CHSCR) held a morning of talks and workshops centred on performance enhancing substance misuse in June 2013, playing host to over 60 professionals and academics from a diverse range of organisations including Lifeline Kirklees, Liverpool John Moores University and the prison service. Discussing issues around the study of performance enhancing substance misuse, as well as services relating to this kind of misuse; the event aimed to promote best practice and research around this important subject area. “There has been a dramatic increase in the number of substance misuse cases due to performance image enhancing drugs over the past five to six years.” said Chris Lawton, Service Manager at the Kirklees branch of Lifeline, adding that events such as these are vital in supporting the work carried out by Lifeline, in terms of raising awareness of the issue and encouraging more research to be done into causes and rehabilitation. The event proved to be an ideal forum for those conducting research in this area, as well as those affected by this type of substance misuse, to share their experiences and ideas for further collaboration. Lecturer Steve Lui of the CHSCR commented “this morning has been a great success for all those involved, producing stimulating debate and promoting cross-sector collaboration and opportunities for future research”.

Designing Out Crime in Australia The Applied Criminology Centre (ACC) undertakes a vast amount of research in the field of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), which involves exploring how environments such as housing estates can be designed and built to reduce the opportunities for crime and disorder to occur. Research conducted by the ACC’s Dr Rachel Armitage and Leanne Monchuk has proven that housing estates built in accordance with the key principles of CPTED are less likely to experience crime and disorder; however CPTED is still not always considered in planning policy.
Dr Armitage and Leanne have undertaken work both nationally and internationally to rectify this; most recently contributing to a parliamentary inquiry into CPTED for the Victorian Government in Melbourne, Australia. This work aimed to examine the extent to which CPTED principles are applied by local government authorities in Victoria and investigate the use of CPTED across other jurisdictions including England and Wales. Leanne also worked alongside the Sydney Institute of Criminology (University of Sydney) to assist with the production of a chapter of the inquiry report.

Research Demonstrates Risks of ‘Probation Approved Premises’ for Sex Offenders Research conducted by Dr Carla Reeves from the Centre for Research in the Social Sciences (CRISS) has shown that sex offenders, including paedophiles, who spend time in Probation Service hostels after being freed from jail are forming social groups which encourage them to believe that there was nothing seriously wrong with the behaviour that led to their conviction. This is an unintended consequence of a policy which concentrates these offenders in hostels well away from schools or areas with large numbers of children argues Dr Reeves, who has researched the ‘informal networking’ that takes place in hostels and the negative effect that this can have on efforts to rehabilitate offenders. As a result, Dr Reeves calls for new strategies and training to ensure that sex offenders do not rejoin society without challenging their behaviour, making them less likely to reoffend. Over the course of two years, Dr Reeves observed the formation of social groups at a hostel where high-risk offenders spend several months on licence after being released from prison. Around 75 percent of the inmates had committed sexual offences against either adults or children, a typical proportion due to the geographical policy of the hostel studied.
“They developed a supportive attitude, telling each other that what they had done wasn’t really wrong or wasn’t that bad, that at least they weren’t taking drugs and being violent. So they were encouraging each other to continue behaving and thinking as they had done prior to being in prison.” Dr Reeves agrees that accommodating offenders in hostels is more sensible than sending them straight from jail into the community with no support, but the informal networking means that it can be counter-productive. Dr Reeves calls for extra training for hostel staff, who she found do not always appreciate the problem and identified a need for a wider network of hostels so that sex offenders could be dispersed. Dr Reeves also believes that Circles UK, a Government backed organisation staffed by volunteers, could play an important role in giving offenders a social network to rely on and helping them to integrate back into the community in a positive way. Dr Reeves has presented her findings and arguments at several academic gatherings, including the British Society of Criminology’s latest conference, and will publish an article on the subject in the Howard Journal of Criminal Justice later this year.
Repository link: http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/14363/
“The policy is totally understandable, because it is about keeping children safe” said Dr Reeves; “but it does mean that large numbers of sex offenders end up being accommodated together in one place and this has unintended consequences that haven’t been thought through very carefully.”

Leading the Way in the Development of Geographical
Profiling Methodologies
The International Research Centre for Investigative Psychology (IRCIP) at Huddersfield has always been at the forefront of the development of Geographical Offender Profiling technologies and is once more leading the field with the introduction of new geographical profiling system DragNetP.
Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences
DragNetP is very different from the geographical profiling software currently available to researchers, police services and law enforcement agencies. Whereas existing systems make predictions as to the likely location of an offender’s home or base using generic, aggregate models of criminal spatial activity; DragNetP uses ideographic models derived from individual crime series distributions to more precisely model home crime relationships. The system also directly links into Google Earth, enabling users to examine crime series in ways that have never been possible before. Early indications suggest that the system is much more accurate at predicting offender base than previous models, making the DragNetP system more efficient at guiding the search for offenders. IRCIP members recently published a paper in the highly-regarded ‘Journal of Quantitative Criminology’; introducing the system and the ideographic models that it uses and demonstrating its effectiveness for a sample of prolific serial burglars.
