Abstract

Addressing the long-lasting problem of road collisions, which the Police have been called upon to manage over time, the present study records and evaluates the characteristics of road collisions in Cyprus between the years 1994 and 2016. Quantitative analysis of Cyprus Police raw data on road collisions was conducted, using descriptive and inferential methods, with outcomes being supported by recent literature on road safety. The results yielded substantial findings regarding road collisions at national level, contributing factors, policing and prevention practices as well as shortcomings regarding research on road collisions in Cyprus. Suggestions target both existing and future practices in terms of policing, training, awareness and research.

Keywords: road collisions, accidents, traffic casualties, police, policing
