PaCCs Archive

The Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) ran from 2008-2021 at the University of Cambridge. PaCCs supported research to facilitate knowledge translation and research impact. In order to ensure the knowledge and evidence generated by PaCCs remains accessible following its closure, N8 PRP and others will host the research reports produced by PaCCs.
