Book excerpt: "This paper urges the police to take ownership and make use of science in the policing task. The authors commend the police industry for embracing innovative management strategies and crime control and prevention policies over the last two decades, but argue that as a whole, the profession has been hesitant to adopt scientific, evidence-based policies and practices resulting in a fundamental disconnect between science and policing. The authors discuss existing research that supports their contention and lay out a proposal for a new, science-based policing paradigm. They describe the adoption this paradigm as necessary if the police industry is to "retain public support and legitimacy, cope with recessionary budget cuts, and ... alleviate the problems that have become part of the policing task." Police Science: Toward a New Paradigm is one of a series of papers that are being published as a result of the second "Executive Session on Policing and Public Safety," a collaboration of NIJ and Harvard Kennedy School's Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book The Abstract Police written by Jan Terpstra and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten to fifteen years the police in many Western European countries have undergone a series of profound organisational changes. The police now appear to operate at a greater distance from citizens, they are more impersonal and decontextualized and have become more dependent on digitalised data systems. These changes are captured through the concept of the 'abstract police' and in this international collection of essays, leading policing scholars use this concept to make sense of contemporary changes to police organisations. Drawing on empirical evidence from a wide range of policing contexts, the individual chapters address major questions about current developments in policing: How are police organisations being shaped by the social, cultural, technological and political contexts in which they operate? How does the concept of the abstract police help understanding of the complex interplay between change and continuity in policing? Is the emergence of an abstract police the unintended outcome of processes of rationalization or a deliberate response to the new complexities of late modernity?

This book was released on 2004-04-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.

Download or read book Scientific Police Investigation written by Fred Edward Inbau and published by . This book was released on 1972-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide for the working patrolman on possibilities for scientific criminal investigation, with measures for preserving and collecting evidence at the crime scene. 'Oh, how simple it would have been had I been here before they came like a herd of buffaloes and wallowed all over it'. These are the words of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes expressing his concern over the destruction of some valuable crime scene evidence. This book is not a textbook for specialists and experts in criminalistics nor does it deal with general considerations of criminal investigation. It addresses itself instead to the working patrolman who is summoned to the scene of a crime as the initial representative of the law. Its primary purpose is to make him aware of the existence and basic uses of the scientific investigative aids that are most generally available, thus aiding his initial observation and preservation of the crime scene. The opening chapter deals with the use of visual aids to investigation, such as photographs, casts, models, maps, and diagrams. Subsequent chapters deal individually with the following topics - fingerprint identification, document analysis, firearms evidence, tool mark comparisons, microanalysis, biological evidence, neutron activation analysis, and spectrographic voice identification. Also covered in separate chapters are the proper techniques for the employment of speed detection devices and the polygraph. The volume explains what the police officer must look for and do in collecting and preserving evidence to be submitted for scientific investigation. The FBI rules for handling physical evidence are appended.

It provides real world examples of evidence-based police practices and how police research can be created and applied in the field. Includes contributions from leading international EBP researchers and practitioners such as Larry Sherman, University of Cambridge, Lorraine Mazerrolle, University of Queensland, Anthony Braga, Northeastern and Craig Bennell, Carelton University.
Download or read book Policing in Smart Societies written by Antoinette Verhage and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2022-03-20 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart societies pose new challenges for police organizations. Demands for more efficiency and effectiveness test police organizations which are often resistant to change. This book uses the concept of the abstract police to describe the way in which police organizations have tried to adapt to these new evolutions and the consequences. The chapters stem from a conference called “Street Policing in a Smart Society” which sought to frame and analyse these developments in policing. In this book, the concept of the abstract police is introduced, analysed and then challenged from different angles, looking at the evolutions related to technology, plural policing, police discretion and police decision making. As such, the book is a reflection of current debates on policing and police organization, aiming to give input to the debate by providing new insights on police and police work.
