Problem-Oriented Policing and Crime Prevention
Description:
Problem-oriented policing has been evaluated as effective in controlling a wide range of crime and disorder problems, ranging from burglaries and robberies, to prostitution, to various types of violence, according to this new book by Anthony A. Braga of Harvard University. Braga analyzes WHY problem-oriented policing interventions are effective and, thereby, intends to broaden the use of this approach in everyday policing.
Problem-oriented policing directs attention and resources to the underlying problems that lurk behind many recurring crimes. Braga summarizes the extensive worldwide research literature on three types of interventions: (1) reducing opportunities for crime at problem-plagued PLACES (such as bars or housing projects) through enforcement-oriented and/or environmental measures; (2) targeting high-activity (repeat) OFFENDERS; and (3) protecting the VICTIMS of repetitive offenses.
Braga concludes with ideas for correcting deficiencies in current approaches to problem-oriented policing. These suggestions address how to improve crime analysis, enhance the measurement of police performance, and secure productive police-community partnerships.
