Define evidence-based policing, explain how it works, and discuss its importance for policing today
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should include the basic premise of evidence-based policing (EBP): that we are all entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. EBP should be defined as the use of the best available research on the outcomes of police work to implement guidelines and evaluate agencies, units, and officers. The importance of EBP as the most powerful force for change in policing, and a necessary approach for creating cost-effectiveness in policing should be included. Some mention could be made of the various organizations and institutes, such as the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy and the Campbell Crime and Justice Group, which lead the movement towards EBP.
