“…The findings reveal a range of strategies and interventions that have been piloted and tested with varying degrees of success, but the authors found much variation in what constitutes ‘early intervention;’ therefore, the studies qualifying for inclusion in the review were only loosely similar. A further example of the difficulties in selecting a sample of case studies of multi-agency partnership working in the context of the policing of DA featured in the research by Davies and colleagues (Davies 2021 ; Davies et al 2020 ). They had difficulty in selecting cases which measured up to even the most relaxed of qualification criteria.…”

In the period since multi-agency working became the dominant approach to tackling domestic abuse, there has been ongoing development and innovation. However, little is known about what tends to enhance or inhibit the roll-out of such initiatives. This article examines the process of building an enhanced flagship multi-agency model for policing domestic abuse. We report on results from semi-structured interviews, observations of meetings and an online survey with stakeholders who were involved in the development of the principles underlying a new multi-agency risk assessment conference (MARAC) process. The participants representatives from policing, third sector, health, and probation organisation-described positive benefits of the process, whilst challenges coalesced around the focus on and engagement of perpetrators, and the problem of assessing the dynamics of risk.

“…Overall this collaborative work identified some interesting variations in terms of understandings of these three criteria in the context of innovations in policing domestic abuse and we are grateful for the open and transparent dialogue that took place between police and academic partners in the co-production process (Goode and Lumsden, 2018). (Davies et al 2020). In the broad context of evidencebased policing developments, and specifically within the N8 police-academic partnership, we comment on the different ways in which police practitioners and (academic) researchers…”

“…One of the central issues in the current development of Evidence-Based Policing is the way in which police practitioners and (academic) researchers understand 'evidence' and 'research' (Davies et al 2020). The co-production of research has gained much traction in recent years.…”

Increased momentum for co-production in policing research undoubtedly requires collaborative research efforts which include methodologies, philosophies, ethos and indeed partnerships of co-production. This paper explores collaborative research efforts to apply co-production in policing research. It does so through a focus on research and evaluation of the policing of domestic abuse and with emphasis on innovations through multi-agency partnerships. It discusses the challenges of practicing co-produced research in these contexts drawing on two research projects. One experience of research was a contracted evaluation of an innovative approach to tackling domestic abuse. This is used to reflect retrospectively through the prism of doing co-produced research. The second experience of research is used to reflect on having engaged in co-produced research from outset. The paper offers particular insight in to practicing co-produced research in the context of tackling domestic abuse through innovative multi-agency partnership working and more broadly for those engaged in academic-police collaborations in other areas of policing.Furthermore, the reflections may be useful in terms of academic colleagues framing their societal impact in line with the ethos, philosophy and praxis of co-produced research.
