Problem-Specific Guides

The Problem-Specific Guides for Police summarize knowledge about how police can reduce the harm caused by specific crime and disorder problems.

Anonymous Peer Review: Each guide is informed by a thorough review of the research literature and reported police practice, and each guide is anonymously peer-reviewed by a line police officer, a police executive and a researcher prior to publication.

These guides are web versions of the guides with links to many additional resources designed to be read on-line.

These are shorter printed versions of the guides for easy download and printing.

These guides are formatted for all E-book readers (Kindle, Nook etc.)
