Summary

"More than policing paradigms of the past, evidence-based policing and its associated tactics and tools have shown the promise of both intuitive appeal and scientific credibility. Despite its potential, however, evidence-based policing has not rapidly diffused into American policing. There is little indication that most American police leaders and their agencies systematically or regularly use tactics that are evidence based. Instead, they continue to rely on strategies and tactics that are widely known to be ineffective or not based on systematic assessment."--Pages 2-3.
