Beskrivning
How can societies effectively reduce crime without exacerbating adversarial relationships between the police and citizens? In recent decades, perhaps the most celebrated innovation in police reform has been the introduction of community policing, where citizens are involved in building channels of dialogue and improving police-citizen collaboration. Despite the widespread adoption of community policing in the United States and increasingly in the developing world, there is still limited credible evidence about whether it realistically increases trust in the police or reduces crime. Through simultaneously coordinated field experiments in a diversity of political contexts, this book presents the outcome of a major research initiative into the efficacy of community policing. Scholars from around the world uncover whether, and under what conditions, this highly influential strategy for tackling crime and insecurity is effective. With its highly innovative approach to cumulative learning, this project represents a new frontier in the study of police reform.

Recensioner i media

'Blair and colleagues ask the fundamental and difficult questions about evidence-based approaches to community policing in their work: Can it reduce crime and improve police legitimacy, and in what contexts? This volume is an essential guide for researchers and donor nations trying to test and implement community policing in the Global South (the focus of the book) and the Global North, which faces the same questions.' Cynthia Lum, Distinguished University Professor of Criminology and Director of the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy, George Mason University
