Gonzalo Garcia-Campo Almendros

Gonzalo is a DPhil student. His work focuses on what Democratic Policing means and how the idea(l) of Democratic Policing could impact the institutional design of the police, for example, their mechanisms of governance and their relationship with marginalised communities. He uses the case of Chile as a study case. His main concern is about the role that police forces should have in a democratic regime. He works under Ian Loader's supervision.

Prior to beginning his PhD, he worked for many years in a shantytown in Santiago, Chile, on topics related to police violence, police discretion, and structural discrimination.

Additionally, he worked in the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality in Chile, where he participated in the legislative process of the law that decriminalized the voluntary interruption of pregnancy in three causes.

He got his Bachelor of Legal and Social Sciences from the University of Chile (2015), and he did his LL.M. in LSE (2018 – 2019)
