Over the past ten years, the field of evidence-based policing (EBP) has grown substantially, evolving from a novel idea at the fringes of policing to an increasingly core component of contemporary policing research and practice.
Examining what makes something evidence-based and not merely evidence-informed, this book unifies the voices of police practitioners, academics, and pracademics. It provides real world examples of evidence-based police practices and how police research can be created and applied in the field.
Includes contributions from leading international EBP researchers and practitioners such as Larry Sherman, University of Cambridge, Lorraine Mazerrolle, University of Queensland, Anthony Braga, Northeastern and Craig Bennell, Carelton University.
Dr. Renee J. Mitchell is a Police Sergeant at the Sacramento Police Department. She is a Police Foundation Fellow and is a Jerry Lee Scholar in the Institute of Criminology, at the University of Cambridge.
Dr. Laura Huey is the Director of the Canadian Society of Evidence Based Policing and (Full) Professor of Sociology at the University of Western Ontario.
