Dr. Jonathan Shepherd
|
Dr. Shepherd received the 2008 Stockholm Prize in Criminology for his pioneering research on injury prevention in bar fights. He has developed and tested effective strategies for reducing facial injuries in bar fights using broken glass, as well as for treating binge-drinking patterns in the course of criminal justice responses to assaults.
His leadership in forming a community partnership against crime and disorder was replicated as a national strategy by the UK government, (Crime and Disorder Act 1998). He also helped to develop a national measure of violence using hospital data as a check on both police and victim survey data, and better treatments of post-traumatic stress caused by incidents of violence, (Domestic Violence and Victims of Crime Act 2005).
Professor Shepherd's research has made many contributions to clinical and public policy and legislation. Funded mainly from charitable sources, the Clinical Decisions Research Group (1991-1999), which he led, produced more than 40 publications relating to decision making in surgery, dentistry and anaesthesia.
