| Summary: | 1. Introduction -- 2. What is Evidence-based Policing? -- 3. Developments in the use of Evidence-Based Policing in the United Kingdom -- 4. The use of evidence-based practices in the health and social sectors -- 5. The arguments for and against using Evidence-based Policing -- 6. Alternative crime response strategies to Evidence-based Policing -- 7. Assessing the receptivity of Evidence-based Policing -- 8. The use of Evidence-based Policing by five police departments in the United States -- 9. How can Evidence-based policing be improved? -- 10. Conclusions. The volume aims to increase knowledge and understanding of how evidence-based policing is being adopted and implemented by police agencies in the United States and whether it is affecting the agencies' processes, strategies, community relationships and delivery of community-oriented policing services. This exploration is based on data drawn from the literature, interviews and extensive field research that resulted in the case studies presented and discussed in the book. The goal of this text will be to provide the reader with a thorough analysis of the concepts, arguments and challenges facing evidence-based policing. The history of evidence-based policing, how evidence-based practices are used in the health and social sectors, and in the United Kingdom will be examined. In addition, reasonable options for improving the use of evidence-based policing will be proposed. Overall, very practical policy implications will be outlined by a highly recognized professional who has considerable experience in policing and related research. . |
