Welcome to the GPD, a searchable web-based global repository of police and policing intervention research conducted since 1950.
Powered by collaboration between the University of Queensland and the University of South Carolina, the GPD identifies world-leading research on policing interventions.
Connecting
The GPD connects police practitioners and policy makers with high-quality evaluation research to guide best practice in evidence-based policing.
Our Methodology
We use rigorous searching and screening methods to identify a worldwide repository of high-quality impact evaluations of police and policing research.
Our research team has identified over 7,000 studies that meet the GPD eligibility criteria, carefully gathered from nearly 300,000 harvested documents. These 7,000+ studies are all available for you to explore from our website. We hope that police, researchers and policy makers will access the GPD to guide the translation of research into evidence-based policies and practices.
