Dr Linda Maguire is an Associate Professor and the Deputy Director of the Institute for Social Justice and Crime (ISJC). She has helped influence national policy on police investigations of rape and serious sexual offences (RASSO). Dr Maguire is an established researcher with a portfolio of work in education, policing and veterans in the criminal justice system. Prior to her appointment at the University of Suffolk, Dr Maguire was working on a nationally significant project called Operation Soteria, which helped develop a new National Operating Model for the 43 police forces across England and Wales, to use in investigating RASSO.
Dr Maguire had been a part of the team working on the role of officer learning, development and wellbeing, as well as the implementation of the change programme of work and a review of the public protection curriculum. That project included work with police practitioners, the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime in London, and as academic liaison with the National Police Chiefs’ Council Joint Unit Team. Her research has already aligned closely with the work of the ISJC, which has already carried out important work for Operation Soteria – suspect-focused investigations and disrupting repeat suspects.
