<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCharlotte graduated in 2017 and went to join the police service. Therefore much of the content for the book comes from her experience gained whilst working as police staff and special constable and her resignation a police officer, as well as research. \u201cAfter several years serving in the police I gained certain insights and used my personal experiences in the book. My research was more organic than specific. For example I am always doing courses or learning, so If I picked up new information, I would go away and find out more to clarify it for accuracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discussing how the book came about, Charlotte explains that: \u201cIt was borne from frustration when it came to academic writing! I wanted to write freely and openly to convey points of contention. I learnt by reading lots of books, the formats I prefer to read; so some sections of my book may be longer than others \u2013 it was difficult achieving a balance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite juggling shift work as a tube operator, this published author and mother is an advocate of life-long learning and personal development:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
And although Charlotte is a bit of a closed book herself, declaring that \u201cI prefer the stories of others,\u201d she does look back fondly at her time at CCCU. One highlight being achieving a first in the written timed assessment part of her degree. And also her success as a student rep in moving the location of the first year exams, as per the student body request!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
