The handbook of knowledge based policing: current conceptions and future directions

Community policing is a relatively new approach to law enforcement and is designed to reduce and prevent crime by increasing the interaction and cooperation between local police and the neighbourhoods they serve. Recent trends suggest that community policing will become more ‘knowledge based,' emphasizing a problem-oriented and strategic use of information for managing and better using police resources. The Handbook of Knowledge Based Policing discusses the emergence of knowledge based policing and examines the impact this will have on community policing initiatives and critically evaluates the effectiveness of community policing in seven different countries.
