In my column in the Herald today I outlined some serious concerns that I have with the New Zealand Police's restrictions on academic freedom. Below is a copy of the contract that researchers must sign. The key sections are 8.2, 8.3 and 11.2(d).

How did the Ethics Committee respond? If you didn't allow it to go before, how about asking some of the academics who accepted those police contracts? Surely Ethics Committees have a responsibility to the research subjects which prevents them accepting contracts that allow the police to 'improve' the findings? And if not, why not?

As a PhD student myself, I am concerned with the tenor of the Police Research Contract. There does seem to be more than an implicit position that the Police would like to make sure they don't look bad. The ambiguity in Clause 9.3 can be interpreted as interference, just simply because this was included. Concerning. If the police do not like the findings, they can go on public record to refute them after publication rather than attempt to manipulate the research before and during the process.

This post describes the police research. Police research mean, how to catch the thief's with the different method. Mostly thief's are so dangerous and also attack the police. When catch the any thief then police take the action for punishment according to guilty.
