Dr. Eleanor Neyroud

Dr Eleanor Neyroud’s responsibilities at the Cambridge Centre for Evidence-Based Policing principally involve data analysis for evaluations and teaching evidence-based policing and statistics.  Eleanor also teaches and supervises on the Master’s course in Applied Criminology and Police Management at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge. She has also worked with the Metropolitan Police, analysing data across several randomised controlled trials, looking at out-of-court disposals, interventions in custody and knife crime prevention orders. 

Eleanor has a PhD from the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge. The focus of her thesis was the relationship between victimisation and offending in low-level offenders. She had previously completed an MPhil at the Institute of Criminology, gaining a Distinction for her thesis on the victim-offender overlap.  She also worked on the Turning Point Project with the West Midlands Police which successfully tested whether police-led diversion, combining deferred prosecution and tailored conditions to encourage desistance from crime, could be more effective than formal prosecution for certain low-risk offenders.
