This is a dissertation written by a serving police officer in Devon & Cornwall Police who was studying for a Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology. It is written from the perspective of a Roman Catholic and is based on interviews with working police chaplains in 2010.

Our thanks are due to Sgt Simon Hardwick for making this available to a wider audience in this way.
