Abstract
Criminal investigation is important in contributing to political and
public confidence in the police service. Successes in criminal
investigation are rarely celebrated, perceived failure can result in
scathing criticism. Early attempts in the United Kingdom to
enhance and professionalise detectives resulted in a partnership
between Kent Police and Canterbury Christ Church University
(2001-2006) delivering the Advanced Detective Training
programme (ADT). The programme included intense
investigative training and completion of a BSc (Hons) degree in
Applied Criminal Investigation. This research examines the views
of stakeholders and participants exploring the contribution of the
ADT to investigative practice and professional development of
detectives.
