Alice has explored the real stories from the female police officers on the frontline of Yorkshire's police force, the setting of the hit ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ drama Happy Valley.

During her time in the Met Police, the question of whether women are strong or brutish enough to be a police officer was brought up a lot.

Yet Alice said that "kindness and compassion" are the most important qualities in an officer.

Speaking to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live's Naga Munchetty, Alice said: "You can be as strong or as brave as you like, but you need to be kind, you need to care for these people."

Alice pointed to a family liaison officer, who's included in the book, who was determined to bring the voice of a murder victim to court and push for a conviction.
