Sommario/riassunto

Recent trends within community policing suggest that the next generation of community policing will be more ""knowledge-based"", involving a shift toward a problem-oriented and strategic use of information as a basis for management and better use of police resources. The Handbook of Knowledge-Based Policing examines how knowledge-based policing can improve the effectiveness, equity and efficiency of community policing. With contributions from a mix of academics and practitioners, this volume:  Critically evaluates the effectiveness of community policing in seven countries. <LI
