Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has over the last decade made an
increasing mark in several fields, notably health and medicine,
education and social welfare. In recent years it has begun to make
its mark in criminal justice. As engagement with EBP has spread, it
has begun to evolve from what might be regarded as a somewhat
narrow doctrine and orthodoxy to something more complex and
various. Often criminological research has been at odds with the
assumptions, conventions and methodologies associated with first
generation EBP. In that context EBP poses a challenge to the
research community and existing evidence base and is, accordingly,
hotly controversial. This book is a welcome and timely contribution
to current debates on evidence-based practice in policing. With a
sharp conceptual focus, the chapters provide a critical examination
of the recent history of EBP in academic, policy and practitioner
communities, evaluate key dimensions of its application to
policing, challenge established understandings and pave the way for
a much needed change in how research 'evidence' is perceived,
generated, transferred, implemented and evaluated.
