Reading Reference No.03

It's time for another bit of reading to help sharpen your thoughts on the principles you employ for your 1:1.
Please read 'Vandalism as a productive force' by Michael Zinganel.

Bobbies on the tweet - police go online

"The experiment was designed to demonstrate the police's role as social workers as well as law enforcers. By the afternoon, the force had received almost 1,500 calls during the first 10 hours. The tweets being written by the public relations' team rather than frontline officers, who were presumably doing real police work at the time.
