Summary
The objective of this review was to utilize meta-analytic procedures to assess the relative effectiveness of police-led drug law enforcement interventions. Specifically, the authors examined the relative effectiveness of a number of policing approaches, including problem-oriented policing, community-wide policing, and hotspots policing compared to the standard, reactive mode of drug law enforcement that dominated police practice until the 1990s.
