Heidi Hawkins
Research fellow, honorary research associate, University of Cape Town
I am a research fellow at Conservation International and an honorary research associate at the University of Cape Town, enabling a linking of academia with grass roots conservation efforts.
My main interest is nutrient cycling and drivers in aboveground-belowground communities, and what this means for ecosystem functioning and global change. Recent work tests how major drivers in grasslands and savanna (climate, herbivory, fire, woody plant encroachment) affect primary productivity as well as nutrient cycling, soil microbial and faunal diversity, and carbon sinks. My work has informed agroecological problems concerning sustainable and integrated livestock farming, human-wildlife conflict, as well as nutrition and water balance of indigenous crops (protea and rooibos, barley). Besides academic articles, my work includes translational productions such as manuals and policy briefs. My future research vision is to provide major contributions to the knowledge base of biodiversity and nutrient cycling within above-belowground communities, including wildlife areas, so that we can better understand the biodiversity-carbon nexus and manage habitats in the face of global change.

Helen Jones
Research Fellow, University of South Wales
I joined the University of South Wales (USW) in January 2015 and worked alongside Professor Fiona Brookman on the Homicide Investigation and Forensic Science Project (funded by The Leverhulme Trust). The project examined the role of forensic science and digital technologies within British homicide investigations. Through this project, I have gained substantial experience of interviewing homicide detectives, forensic scientists, and digital experts, and observed several live homicide investigations, from crime scene through to court. Findings from the project have been disseminated widely, for example, they have helped to inform the Home Office Impact of Forensic Science project. We are continuing to analyse the data and engage with key stakeholders from the Home Office, Forensic Capability Network and National Police Chiefs’ Council.
I am also working alongside Dr Cheryl Allsop at USW. In May 2022, we were awarded £121,802 from the Home Office STAR fund to work on cases of missing people considered murdered. The project, 'Missing-Murdered: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Risk Factors’ will run until the end of March 2023 and seeks to understand commonalities and characteristics to assist in developing toolkits for frontline police officers to mitigate against the challenges and risks associated with recognising and responding to homicide in missing persons investigations. Assessing accurately who will come to harm is difficult yet, when dealing with cases of missing persons considered murdered, the initial response to the missing person report is the most important factor for solving the homicide and any delays in recognising and responding to a potential homicide will reduce the chances of solving it. The project will help the police to spot the triggers which might indicate homicide when dealing with missing person reports.
Prior to joining USW in January 2015, I worked for Leicestershire Police for over twelve years. This included roles as a Crime Recorder/Receiver and Research Officer. Between June 2007 - November 2010, I worked as the Protecting Vulnerable People Intelligence analyst, with analytical responsibility for the Public Protection Investigation Unit, which included the child abuse investigation unit, sexual and dangerous offenders, serious sexual offences, and child sexual exploitation. I utilised analytical techniques and specialised IT software (i2 Analyst Notebook) to create analytical products, which assisted detectives in the investigation of crime and the presentation of material at court. Most recently (November 2010 - January 2015), I was a Review Officer - I worked as part of a team reviewing undetected homicides, domestic homicides, stranger rapes, cold cases, serious and organised crime, and long-term missing persons. I outlined recommendations for further work, identified good practice, and ensured the investigation conformed to nationally approved standards, had not overlooked any investigative opportunities and had been conducted with integrity and objectivity. As part of this role, I gained experience of using police databases such as HOLMES (used for major crimes) and COMPACT (used for missing person investigations). I also observed post-mortems and completed placements with forensic services, the dog section and firearms unit.
