Seeking a Direct Pipeline to Practice: Four Guidelines for Researchers and Practitioners

Marianne Cotugno Miami University ; Mark Hoffman

Abstract

The authors of this article, a researcher and a practitioner, revisit the collaborative process by which a training program addressing report writing for police officers was developed and implemented as a means of understanding why and how this collaboration was successful. From this reflection, the authors offer four guidelines for others involved in similar efforts to help them obtain a direct pipeline to practice.
