Crime Reduction and Problem-oriented Policing

<p>Problem-oriented policing has been one of the most significant new approaches to policing and crime reduction in recent years and in the UK significant funding was provided to a variety of projects adopting a problem solving methodology in both policing and crime prevention and reduction partnerships as part of the government's Crime Reduction Programme. </p><p>This book aims to draw upon the main findings of this initiative to provide an overview of the government's Targeted Policing Initiative as a whole to describe findings about the adoption of a problem solving approach and to indicate what was learned from efforts to address the specific problems targeted in the evaluated initiatives.</p>
