Managing Wildlife Crime Law Enforcement: A Strategic Introduction

This 2-module short course is designed for conservation managers, planners, and technical leads who want to understand the foundational concepts in crime science and how they apply to wildlife crime prevention and protected area management.

Each live session will last ~2 hours and is delivered directly by me, with flexible scheduling. The course combines accessible theory with practical planning tools and time for discussion of your site’s specific challenges.

Module 1: Crime Theory for Conservation

• Key concepts from situational crime prevention and environmental criminology

• Why crimes happen where and when they do

• Translating theory into operational insight

Module 2: From Theory to Action

• Applying crime analysis to enforcement planning and patrol design

• Risk-based approaches to prevention

• Integrating intelligence-led thinking into management effectiveness frameworks

Ongoing mentoring support is included, so participants can follow up by email as they begin applying concepts to their sites.
