This seminar provided an overview of a multi-faceted, multi-method research project incorporating the views of Street Pastors, key stake holders and decision makers, students and members of the general public in the night time economy (NTE). Capturing the views of those actually engaging with the Street Pastors in the NTE constitutes a significant step forward in understanding the role they play in that economy. The research explored the perceptions and attitudes of these different actors about the role of the Street Pastors in relation to formal policing and community safety. One important theme to emerge was the impact Street Pastors make to general feelings of ‘safety’ and ‘security’ in these ‘client’ groups.
