Riskbased policing is a research advancement that improves public safety, and its applications prevent crime specifically by managing crime risks. In RiskBased Policing, the authors analyze case studies from a variety of city agencies including Atlantic City, New Jersey; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Glendale, Arizona; Kansas City, Missouri; Newark, New Jersey; and others. They demonstrate how focusing police resources on risky places and basing police work on smart uses of data can address the worst effects of disorder and crime while improving community relations and public safety. Topics include the role of big data; the evolution of modern policing; dealing with highrisk targets; designing, implementing, and evaluating riskbased policing strategies; and the role of multiple stakeholders in riskbased policing. The book also demonstrates how risk terrain modeling can be extended to provide a comprehensive view of prevention and deterrence.
