Researchers from King's College London say the Home Office is ignoring or manipulating research on crime. The trouble is, boycott the Home Office and all the research will go to thr big commercial consultnacies who will tell them what they want to hear. Its the old "rock and a hard place" Scenario.
The actual report is available at: http://www.crimeandjustice.org.uk/evidencebasedpolicy.html
title is: Critical thinking about the uses of research. Basic argument is that new Labour promised evidence based policy but is back to the same old political considerations. I dont know whether it says that red top editors are more powerful than peofessors....but that would be a truism....wouldn't it?
