Ipsos Mori, Maguire M, Cram F, Feilzer, M, Jackson, J., IOM National Refresh Evaluation
- Mae'r prosiect yn cael ei ariannu gan y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder ac mae'n ceisio deall sut mae'r adnewyddu wedi cael ei weithredu a'i brofi gan yr heddlu, y gwasanaeth prawf, asiantaethau a defnyddwyr gwasanaethau; Ei effeithiolrwydd wrth gyflawni'r amcanion adnewyddu ac asesu ei werth cyffredinol am arian.
Kitchener, M., Jones, T a Cram, F., The Craft of Co-Produced Policing: Lessons from Grangetown and Trelái.
- Wedi'i hariannu gan grant gan y Sefydliad Diogelwch, Trosedd, Cudd-wybodaeth ac Arloesi (SCIII), bydd yr astudiaeth hon yn hyrwyddo dealltwriaeth o grefft plismona a gydgynhyrchwyd trwy astudiaethau achos o fentrau mewn dwy ardal yng Nghaerdydd: Grangetown a Threlái. Bydd canfyddiadau ein cyfweliadau ac arsylwi gweithgareddau cydgynhyrchu yn proffilio'r sgiliau sydd eu hangen i gyd-gynhyrchu plismona'n effeithiol.
