The evidence-based policing (EBP) movement has intensified in many
countries around the world in recent years, resulting in a
proliferation of policies and infrastructure to support such a
transformation. This movement has come to be associated with
particular methods of evaluation and systematic review, which have
been drawn from what is assumed to prevail in medicine. Given the
credibility EBP is currently enjoying with both practitioners and
government, it is timely to subject its underpinning logic to
thoughtful scrutiny. This involves deliberating upon the meaning of
evidence and what different models of knowledge accumulation and
research methods have to offer in realising the aims of EBP. The
communication and presentation of evidence to practitioner
audiences is another important aspect of EBP, as are collaborative
efforts to 'co-produce' new knowledge on police practice. This is
the first book that takes a kaleidoscopic approach to depict what
EBP presently is and how it could develop. The chapters
individually and collectively challenge the underlying logic to the
mainstream EBP position, and the book concludes with an agenda for
a more inclusive conceptualisation of evidence and EBP for the
future. It is aimed at students and academics who are interested in
being part of this movement, as well as policymakers and
practitioners interested in integrating EBP principles into their
practices.
