Dr Patrick Tidmarsh is a leading authority on sexual offending, and the investigation of sexual crime. He trains and lectures all over the world, helping police and other professionals to understand sexual offending, and improve their response to both victims and offenders.
He has worked with sex offenders for over thirty years. For twenty of those years he worked in sex offender treatment, in prisons and in the community, with adults and adolescents. He worked in policing for twelve years, training detectives, and developing the specialism of sexual crime investigation.
Patrick developed the ‘Whole Story’ method of investigating sex crimes, a ground-breaking initiative designed to combat victim blaming, teach detectives how to understand the dynamics of sexual crime, and improve the gathering of evidence in sexual offence cases.
