The Summer of EBP heats up: Global leaders unite for groundbreaking conference in Cambridge

Global Societies Evidence-Based Policing Conference 21 - 22 July, 2025

From 21 to 22 July 2025, Cambridge will host the most distinguished gathering in the science of policing, as the Society of Evidence-Based Policing (SEBP) welcomes the world to the Global Societies of Evidence-Based Policing Conference. Held at the Clayton Hotel, this flagship event is at the height of the Summer of EBP—a season of cutting-edge events dedicated to sharing the best of research, practice, and innovation in policing and security.

Bringing together international police leaders, world-renowned researchers, and frontline innovators, this is the only conference jointly hosted by EBP Societies from across the globe, providing an unparalleled platform for shaping the future of evidence-informed policing.

This two-day event features more than 30 speakers across 20 sessions, including exclusive keynotes from the most influential voices in policing today:

  • Sir Andy Marsh, CEO of the College of Policing, on driving a research-led revolution in UK policing practice.
  • Professor Lawrence Sherman, founder of the EBP movement, unveils his latest thinking on Triple-T analytics and automating decision-making in policing.
  • Professor David Weisburd, architect of place-based policing, explores how deterrence theory has evolved—and what it means for the future.
  • Professor Daniel Nagin, Max Planck Law Fellow and NAS award-winner, delivering fresh insights on deterrence and the criminal life-course.

  • Alex Murray, Director at the National Crime Agency and SEBP founder, on how AI is transforming serious and organised crime response.
