1. While there is a growing literature on evidence-based policing,
many of the books merely introduce the main concepts and
approaches. The proposed book goes further in examining how
research and practice can be merged. 2. This book speaks to the
ongoing professionalization of the police service in both the US
and the UK, so could be used as supplementary reading on a range of
more applied courses on police practice. 3. The international
case-study approach will make the research that informs the
practice come alive for students.

An essential tool for crime analysts looking to enhance the quality
and efficiency of their crime mapping using ArcGIS Pro. Modern
Policing Using ArcGIS Pro is an easy-to-use hands-on guide for
crime analysts of any skill level. Crime mapping and spatial
analysis play a key role in a variety of day-to-day police
functions, and with ArcGIS Pro, crime analysts can enhance the
efficiency of their workflow and the quality of their crime-mapping
products. Designed to be immediately useful and practical for all
users, Modern Policing's scaffolded approach allows users to
incrementally develop their skills. Real-world case studies from
crime analysts and applied research projects demonstrate the
spatial analysis techniques necessary to support evidence-based
policing. The findings of these case studies are discussed via
research and crime analysis highlights, with self-guided exercises
that walk the user through the steps of performing the analysis.
Key topics include: Geoprocessing and filtering data Identifying
hot spots Using spatial statistics for predictive analysis
Automating tasks Using ArcGIS Pro for problem analysis, crime
analysts can create crime prevention strategies, measure program
outputs to gauge program implementation, and conduct evaluations to
determine whether crime control strategies are having the desired
impact. Covering strategic analysis, predictive analysis, workflow
automation and more, Modern Policing Using ArcGIS Pro is essential
for crime analysts looking to bring value to their agencies'
operations through crime and data analysis.
Risk-based policing is a research advancement that improves public
safety, and its applications prevent crime specifically by managing
crime risks. In Risk-Based Policing, the authors analyze case
studies from a variety of city agencies including Atlantic City,
New Jersey; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Glendale, Arizona; Kansas
City, Missouri; Newark, New Jersey; and others. They demonstrate
how focusing police resources on risky places and basing police
work on smart uses of data can address the worst effects of
disorder and crime while improving community relations and public
safety. Topics include the role of big data; the evolution of
modern policing; dealing with high-risk targets; designing,
implementing, and evaluating risk-based policing strategies; and
the role of multiple stakeholders in risk-based policing. The book
also demonstrates how risk terrain modeling can be extended to
provide a comprehensive view of prevention and deterrence.
There are many concepts, theories, technologies, and ideas that we
rely on in the course of work as criminologists and crime analysts.
This book summarizes how we understand them and how they relate to
crime and illegal behavior at certain places. We can support all of
the statements with prior or ongoing empirical research,
professional experiences, and expert practitioner knowledge. But,
we do not bore you with the details here.
