David Webb

Lecturer

Health, Education, Policing and Sciences

I hold an MSc in Applied Research awarded by Staffordshire University in 2019, where I undertook research into the interactions between police officers and domestic abuse victims. I hold a BSc in Physical Geography and Sociology awarded by Keele University in 2003.

I have a keen interest in improving the police response to domestic abuse and am inspired by my mother-in-law, who herself is a DV survivor.

I have 18 years experience as a police officer, attaining the rank of sergeant. I predominantly worked in response policing, with some time spent as a custody sergeant.

I am currently undertaking a PhD with Staffordshire University, researching the field of Domestic Abuse.
