Today's police agencies are in a period of both crisis and reform
as they try to improve their ability to deliver public safety to
citizens in ways that are effective, legitimate, and sustainable.
Evidence-based policing offers one such solution - an approach
which emphasises the value that research can bring to police
officers and, by extension, the public they serve. However,
evidence-based policing is not just about the process of
understanding and evaluating police practices. It is also about
translating and using that knowledge in daily police activities.
This unique book examines the scientific evidence for the
effectiveness of various police practices and provides tools to
help turn research into practice. Part I gives a practitioner's
definition of evidence-based policing, a primer on how to judge and
interpret research findings, and a review of the Evidence-Based
Policing Matrix, a tool for translating research on police crime
control interventions. In Part II the authors review the breadth of
knowledge about policing interventions for people, places,
communities, and technology, focusing on how to optimize operations
based on this information. Tools and ideas that can assist in
implementing evidence-based practices into patrol, investigations,
supervision, management, crime analysis, and leadership are
provided in Part III. Finally, in Part IV the authors speak to
researchers about how they might continue to work with police
agencies to advance evidence-based policing.
