Self-Selection Policing introduces and explores an approach for
crime control which seeks to identify active, serious offenders by
attending to the minor offences they commit. A foundation of theory
and evidence is first supplied for the assertion that 'those who do
big bad things also do little bad things'. Original research
presented in the book includes a study of offending by visitors to
a prison, and the concurrent criminality of those committing common
driving offences and failure to produce driving documents as
required. It illustrates how self-selection can complement other
police methods of identifying active, serious criminals by focusing
on what offenders do rather than who they are and what they have
done in the past. Concentrating on the 'usual suspects' in the
conventional way is often criticised as harassment and
self-selection policing largely bypasses the issue of fairness this
raises. The book concludes with a call for the consideration,
development and wider adoption of the self-selection approach, and
particularly the identification of other common minor offences
which flag concurrent active criminality. The authors make
important suggestions for the progression of SSP research and
practice, including the identification of barriers to the
implementation of the approach in wider police thinking, practice
and policy. Practical guidance is also provided for those thinking
of developing, testing and implementing the approach. In doing so,
the book will be of particular interest for policing practitioners,
as well as students and scholars of policing and crime control.
