Background
Hosking has been successful in taking WAVE Trust from a small organization chatting about how to tackle the root causes of violence[2] in internet chat rooms, to being WAVE adviser to the UK Home Office[citation needed], Prime Minister's Strategy Unit[citation needed], Metropolitan Police[citation needed], Centre for Social Justice[citation needed] and Scottish Violence Reduction Unit[citation needed] on violence reduction. The World Health Organisation have commended WAVE’s groundbreaking work[citation needed] and WAVE has become part of WHO’s global Violence Prevention Alliance[citation needed].
Hosking has looked at how to tackle violence at it roots by identifying and understanding root causes, rather than operating on symptoms. His consultancy has helped transform profitability for well-known international companies.[citation needed]
Hosking has been doing therapeutic work with violent criminals both in prison and after release. To date none of his clients have re-offended with violence[citation needed], in or out of prison.
Hosking was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2014 Birthday Honours for services to reducing violence, particularly child abuse.[3]
He graduated with a PG Diploma in Psychology from Birmingham University in 1998.
