Brief:
It’s one thing to champion problem-oriented policing (POP) - officers dealing with problems they come up against in their daily work - and another to assess that work, to see what works.
So a conference heard last year, its papers collected here. For instance reducing people’s fear of crime seems a knotty one. And how can you prove that something – such as more lighting – reduces crime, if reported crime falls by day, besides night?! This book is for specialists – if you’re interested, try the University College London website first – www.jdi.ucl.ac.uk – which also details their courses.
