Description
In this module you will learn from world-leading experts and scholars who have been instrumental in developing some of the most important crime reduction policing models used by police and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
听You will be able to reflect on a variety of contemporary policing issues and will be encouraged to debate, discuss, and share your experiences with one another. You will investigate the strategic and tactical applications of crime reduction policing models such as problem-oriented policing, community policing, intelligence-led policing, and evidence-based policing. 听
From an organisational perspective, you will conduct a transnational comparison to identify the advantages and shortcomings of various models in different policing contexts, such as comparing democratic, colonial, continental, and decentralised models to understand their relevance and effectiveness in the contexts in which they are applied. In this module, you will also learn about the mechanisms that these models use to achieve their goals, as well as the benefits of various approaches to crime reduction, such as situational and social crime prevention. You will also examine specific tactics used under the auspices of these models, such as hot-spot, zero-tolerance, and broken-windows policing, as well as a variety of real-world case studies to determine whether and which models work, under what conditions, and why.
