Problem-oriented Policing and Partnerships: Implementing an Evidence-based Approach to Crime Reduction

By Karen Bullock, Nick Tilley, Rosie Erol, Gloria Laycock (Editor)

This book is about attempts to
introduce problem-oriented policing in Britain, its concern being with its implementation, both organisationally and in specific local initiatives, to address crime and other problems.

This book will be of particular interest to those in the police working in the field of crime reduction and community safety as well as students taking courses in policing, criminal justice and criminology.

It makes an important contribution to the literature on problem-oriented policing, aiming to distill the British experience of problem-oriented policing.

Drawing on over 500 entries to the Tilley Awards since its inception in 1999, the book examines what can be achieved by problem-oriented policing, what conditions are required for its successful implementation and what has been learned about resolving crime and disorder issues.

Examples of problem-oriented policing examined in this
book include specific police and partnership initiatives targeting a wide spectrum of individual problems – such as road safety, graffiti and alcohol-related violence.
