🎙 The fifteenth episode of "Security Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin Gill" is now LIVE! 🚀 Join us for a interesting discussion with Terry, this podcast provides a chilling insight into the world of crime!

🔗 Listen to the episode now or find links to your preferred platforms here > www.securityinconversation.com

Terry didn't think there was anything inevitable in his early childhood that would lead to him becoming a persistent priority offender in his mid teens. Led by older boys and attracted by the high rewards of fraud, theft and commercial burglary he saw little value in legitimate pursuits and never felt the counsellors appointed to help him were realistic. Eventually he ended up in prison and there developed a drug habit. That governed the next stage of his life, on his release his crimes were driven by the need to pay for drugs. Shoplifting was more lucrative than many alternatives and carried less risks, and drug dealing provided him with access to what he most valued. Nine more prison sentences followed, and then, when he decided enough was enough, drug barons took exception and he suffered multiple stab wounds. He decided to help the police, joined witness protection and started a new life. Listen to how Terry ended up, the hard way, as a head chef.

At the end of the interview Terry answers these three questions we ask all our guests:
1. Which book has most influenced you?
2. Which person has most influenced you?
3. What is the priority issue works of crime prevention needs to focus on to change for the better?

Join us in recognising World Su***de Prevention Day on September 10th

This year's theme, "Creating Hope Through Action," reminds us that there is an alternative to su***de and that through our actions, we can foster hope and strengthen prevention efforts. Su***des are preventable, and together, we can make a difference.

At Perpetuity Research, we understand the significance of this work and are actively involved in research focused on su***de prevention and the impact of su***de bereavement. Our recent research, conducted by Josephine Ramm, sheds light on the experiences of survivors of domestic abuse who have struggled with suicidal feelings. This crucial work, commissioned by the Kent & Medway Su***de Prevention Network, highlights the prevalence of such feelings among those living with domestic abuse.

Read more and view a copy of the research > https://perpetuityresearch.com/3914/creating-hope-through-action-world-su***de-prevention-day-2023/

Let's reduce stigma, raise awareness, and unite in the effort to prevent su***de. By coming together, we can create a world where hope prevails. 💪

🔍 New Research Launched: Perpetuity Research, in collaboration with the THE DAWES TRUST LIMITED and the Centre for Cybercrime and Economic Crime (CCEC) - University of Portsmouth, is undertaking research exploring the opportunities that exist in the private and not-for-profit sectors for the police to utilise in order to tackle economic crime more effectively. 💼💻💰

Read the full announcement > > https://perpetuityresearch.com/3906/new-research-launched-enhancing-police-resources-in-the-fight-against-economic-crime-cost-effectively-harnessing-the-potential-of-the-private-and-not-for-profit-sectors/

🌐 Economic crime costs society billions each year, yet it often remains a low police priority due to limited resources and evolving criminal tactics. However, we believe the private and not-for-profit sectors hold immense untapped potential in this battle.

🤝 Join us in exploring opportunities for collaboration between law enforcement and these sectors, unlocking cost-effective solutions to combat fraud more effectively. 🤝

📌 Our research will:

1️⃣ Identify and map expertise within private and not-for-profit sectors for tackling fraud.
2️⃣ Assess police engagement possibilities.
3️⃣ Highlight any existing obstacles.
4️⃣ Share best practices through case studies.
5️⃣ Envision a strategy for partnership engagement.

📢 We want to hear from YOU! If you're involved in any partnership activities related to fraud detection, prevention, or victim support, share your insights with us. Contact Dr. Janice Goldstraw-White at [email protected], our lead researcher on this transformative project.
