This book addresses and reviews progress in a major innovative
development within police work known as evidence-based policing. It
involves a significant extension and strengthening of links between
research and practice and is directed to the task of increasing
police effectiveness in the field of community crime prevention.
This volume provides an international perspective that synthesizes
recent research results from the United States and other countries
- including systematic reviews of large bodies of evidence - to
illuminate several of the most challenging issues currently
confronting police departments. It examines recent advances in
research-based models of policing and the expanding base in outcome
evaluation. Key areas of coverage include: Managing the nighttime
economy. Supervising sex offenders. Tackling domestic/intimate
partner violence. Addressing school violence and the formation of
gangs. Reducing victim and witness retraction and disengagement.
Responding to mental disorders, safeguarding vulnerable adults, and
providing victim support. Leveraging public awareness campaigns. In
addition, each chapter presents an overview of key issues within a
designated area, synthesizes existing reviews, and examines the
most recent research. The book clearly and concisely presents major
concepts, theories, and research findings, thereby providing both
conceptual and analytic tools alongside an integrated presentation
of principal findings and messages. The volume concludes with a
discussion of current directions in research, key developments in
policing strategies, and identification of effective operational
structures for facilitating and sustaining research-practice links.
Evidence-Based Policing and Community Crime Prevention is a
must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and other
professionals, and graduate students in forensic psychology,
criminology and criminal justice, public health, developmental
psychology, psychotherapy and counseling, psychiatry, social work,
educational policy and politics, health psychology, nursing, and
behavioral therapy/rehabilitation.

Moments and Fantasies is a look into some of my various moments
that turned into fantasies and fantasies that seemed like moments.
It is where the law of relativity runs true. If you touch something
hot seconds seem like hours or if you enjoy the company of a hot
woman, hours can seem like seconds. Some stories are true from my
standpoint and others are what I imagined what might have been.
Either way I am writing this and imagining you, you that is reading
it. I am imagining our MOMENT that could be a FANTASY. Nothing else
needs to be said.
