Download or read book Proactive Policing written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proactive policing, as a strategic approach used by police agencies to prevent crime, is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. It developed from a crisis in confidence in policing that began to emerge in the 1960s because of social unrest, rising crime rates, and growing skepticism regarding the effectiveness of standard approaches to policing. In response, beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, innovative police practices and policies that took a more proactive approach began to develop. This report uses the term "proactive policing" to refer to all policing strategies that have as one of their goals the prevention or reduction of crime and disorder and that are not reactive in terms of focusing primarily on uncovering ongoing crime or on investigating or responding to crimes once they have occurred. Proactive policing is distinguished from the everyday decisions of police officers to be proactive in specific situations and instead refers to a strategic decision by police agencies to use proactive police responses in a programmatic way to reduce crime. Today, proactive policing strategies are used widely in the United States. They are not isolated programs used by a select group of agencies but rather a set of ideas that have spread across the landscape of policing. Proactive Policing reviews the evidence and discusses the data and methodological gaps on: (1) the effects of different forms of proactive policing on crime; (2) whether they are applied in a discriminatory manner; (3) whether they are being used in a legal fashion; and (4) community reaction. This report offers a comprehensive evaluation of proactive policing that includes not only its crime prevention impacts but also its broader implications for justice and U.S. communities.

Download or read book Risk Based Policing written by Leslie W. Kennedy and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

  • Release : 2005
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 280 pages

Download or read book Community Policing written by Michael Brogden and published by Willan Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community policing is readily accepted as the new face of policing in the English-speaking world. But its meaning is often unclear in practice. This book provides an accessible and critical introduction to this important topic. It also raises major problems about the enthusiasm for that style of policing. Drawing on materials from Western Eurpoe and from the Pacific Rim, it demonstrates that there are quite different models of community policing available internationally. Further, it critically considers the export drive in which Anglo-American models of community policing are proposed for transitional and failed societies. Using secondary material from many jurisdictions - including case studies on South Africa and Northern Ireland - the text argues that such a style of policing is quite inappropriate in the latter countries and more likely to exacerbate schism than to increase harmony. Community Policing: national and international models approaches breaks new ground in two ways. It demonstrates that there are major problems in the readiness of governments to adopt community policing models. Secondly, it raises major questions within the sociology of development regarding the readiness of governments and international organisations to assume that community policing is an elixir to solve the ills of other societies.
