About Me

Dr Rebecca Tidy
Journalist | Researcher 

Criminal justice | Organised crime | Policing  | Public health

My work appears in top media outlets including Al Jazeera, The Sun, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, and VICE News. I specialise in producing clear, evidence-based articles that make complex topics easier to understand.

Prior to journalism, I developed significant public sector research expertise, having worked on projects for clients including the Metropolitan Police, Devon and Cornwall Police, Greater London Authority, Plymouth City Council, HM Prison Service, Public Health England and the Local Government Association.

I have advanced quantitative analysis skills (SPSS, R, Stata) that I’ve applied in a range of settings. In my PhD, I used a quantitative methodology to examine the determinants of voter behaviour.

While in academia, I taught policing, public services and business management at Plymouth University. I also taught counterterrorism, quantitative analysis and electoral studies at the University of Exeter.

In every aspect of my work – whether it’s writing articles, conducting research or teaching – I’m committed to bringing clarity and insight to the issues that matter most.
