All in the Line of Duty: True Crime and Corruption
Join us for an evening of professional insight and interactive investigation with former Scotland Yard detective chief inspector and criminal psychologist Steve Gaskin.
Following the highly successful ‘Dine with a Detective’ events, Steve is back by popular demand and will explore the broader issues of police accountability, corruption and investigative challenges within law enforcement, drawing on high-profile cases and his own extensive experience.
In the first half, Steve will discuss the complexities of investigating misconduct within the police service, including the protocols around vetting and prevention of abuse of power. He will share perspectives from cases covered in national media and provide his own professional commentary which was also featured on a recent Channel 5 documentary.
In the second half of the evening, you’ll take on the role of an investigator. Using a fictionalised case file involving potential misconduct, you’ll examine key pieces of evidence to uncover what really happened. Whether working in groups or independently, you’ll have the chance to:
Perform handwriting analysis, carry out ‘physical fit’ evidence, analyse DNA results, listen to a police interview and prepare your questioning, and, finally, piece together the truth based on the evidence you find.
This unique evening provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at true crime investigation and chance to become a detective yourself!
