A team of expert contributors provides an in-depth exploration of police use of force, firearms, and less-than-lethal weapons from a dozen countries across five continents.Police Use of Force: A Global Perspective is a fascinating, international exploration of police use of force, firearms, and less-than-lethal weapons in nations around the world. The book is comprised of three sections: the first focuses on the use of force generally, the second explores firearms and deadly force, and the final section considers less-than-lethal weapons, including pepper spray, TASERs, and other emerging technologies currently on the horizon.The essays gathered here will provide readers with an understanding of the vast differences in how police use force in various countries, as well as why police use force differently under different forms of government. Topics covered include use-of-force definitions, training procedures, policy issues, abuse of police authority, use of force during interrogations, and the use of firearms by armed and unarmed police forces. Finally, there is an essay focusing on how shooting and killing a suspect impacts an officer in the months and years that follow.

The evidence-based policing (EBP) movement has intensified in many countries around the world in recent years, resulting in a proliferation of policies and infrastructure to support such a transformation. This movement has come to be associated with particular methods of evaluation and systematic review, which have been drawn from what is assumed to prevail in medicine.Given the credibility EBP is currently enjoying with both practitioners and government, it is timely to subject its underpinning logic to thoughtful scrutiny. This involves deliberating upon the meaning of evidence and what different models of knowledge accumulation and research methods have to offer in realising the aims of EBP. The communication and presentation of evidence to practitioner audiences is another important aspect of EBP, as are collaborative efforts to ‘co-produce’ new knowledge on police practice.This is the first book that takes a kaleidoscopic approach to depict what EBP presently is and how it could develop. The chapters individually and collectively challenge the underlying logic to the mainstream EBP position, and the book concludes with an agenda for a more inclusive conceptualisation of evidence and EBP for the future. It is aimed at students and academics who are interested in being part of this movement, as well as policymakers and practitioners interested in integrating EBP principles into their practices.

Remarkably little has been written about the theory and practice of applied police research, despite growing demand for evidence in crime prevention. Designed to fill this gap, this book offers a valuable new resource. It contains a carefully curated selection of contributions from some of the world's leading applied police researchers. Together, the authors have almost 300 years of relevant experience across three continents.The volume contains both practical everyday advice and calls for more fundamental change in how police research is created, consumed and applied. It covers diverse topics, including the art of effective collaborations, the interaction between policing, academia and policy, the interplay between theory and practice and managing ethical dilemmas. This book will interest a broad and international audience from academics and students, to police management, officers and trainees, to policymakers and research funders.

Att förebygga brott med problemorienterat polisarbete är en lärobok skriven för praktiker med brottsprevention som sin uppgift samt för studenter vid polisutbildningarna. Den fyller ett tidigare inte tillgodosett behov med en up-to-date text. Problemorienterat polisarbete är en skapelse av den amerikanske professorn Herman Goldstein. Han ville ersätta det förhärskande händelsestyrda sättet att bedriva polisverksamhet på med ett polisarbete som har en proaktiv förebyggande inriktning. I en problemlösningsprocess ska polisen ta fram åtgärder anpassade till det sammanhang där problemen återfinns. Det avslutas med en utvärdering för att avgöra om de minskat eller upphört. Erfarenheterna från många poliskårer som redan under 80-talet började tillämpa filosofin visar att den är krävande att utföra. Granskningar av projekt både i USA och UK visade på en bristfällig praktik, där särskilt utvärderingsmomentet var svagt. Samma erfarenheter gjordes i Sverige. Emellertid finns nu tillräckligt många lyckade projekt som visar att problemorienterat polisarbete rätt utfört verkligen är effektivt. För det behövs stöd från insiktsfulla polischefer och helst medverkan av analytiker. Bokens centrala kapitel är en handledning i att utföra problemorienterat polisarbete. Där behandlas först de organisatoriska förutsättningarna. Via ett konkret exempel illustreras genomförandet av de olika momenten i arbetsprocessen. Slutligen diskuteras vad som kännetecknar lyckade projekt. Eftersom utvärdering visat sig vara ett kritiskt moment ingår en kortfattad instruktion i att göra utvärderingar. Det följs av exempel på faktiska utvärderingar av förebyggande insatser. På så vis konkretiseras de schematiska beskrivningarna från föregående kapitel. I det avslutande kapitlet är den övergripande frågan om en strategi utvecklad i annan juridisk och social kontext kan överföras med bibehållen effekt? Utgångspunkten är den så kallade Group Violence Intervention som syftar till att förebygga gängskjutningar. Johannes Knutsson är professor emeritus i polisforskning. Sedan mitten av 70-talet har han bedrivit tillämpad polisforskning, det vill säga forskning för och med polisen. Ett av hans kompetensområden är brottsförebyggande aktiviteter och utvärdering av deras effektivitet. Knutsson ingår i ett nätverk med experter på polisforskning och brottsprevention från UK och USA.
