Is problem-oriented policing effective in reducing crime and disorder?

摘要

Weisburd et al. (2010) examine the effectiveness of problem-oriented policing in reducing crime and disorder. The authors conduct a Campbell systematic review and identified ten articles out of 5,500 that met their criteria and then used meta-analytic techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of problem-oriented policing (POP). The study hopes to address the lack of any substantial review of the POP the research to determine whether the widespread implementation of POP is justified by the evidence.
