Ross Hendy is a Lecturer in Criminology at Monash University, where his research focuses on the development of theoretical and applied perspectives on police interactions and policing practices. With a background as a sergeant in the New Zealand Police, Dr. Hendy's work aims to enhance the understanding of police environments, specifically addressing the limitations of administrative data in providing real-world insights to criminal justice practitioners and policy-makers. His doctoral research employed a mixed-methods approach to examine the interactions of routinely armed and unarmed police forces with the public during conflict-prone encounters. He is particularly interested in police use of force, police-citizen interactions, and the implications of mental health-related service demands on policing. Dr. Hendy has contributed significantly to the field with several applied research projects at the New Zealand Police’s Evidence Based Policing Centre, focusing on effective policing strategies and decision-making processes.
