Inhaltsangabe

This book is dedicated to applied research into policing, its characteristics, challenges and opportunities. Despite growing demand for such evidence in crime prevention, remarkably little has been written about the theory and practice of applied police research. This edition is designed to fill this gap, providing a valuable resource for those interested in academia-police collaborations. The book comprises a carefully curated selection of reflective contributions from some of the world's leading applied police researchers and some emerging talent.
