Abstract
We titled this volume The Future of Evidence-Based Policing, because in it we sought to take stock of where the field of EBP has been and where it is heading. In this concluding chapter we address the latter question, and make the argument that the future of EBP as a meaningful paradigm with substantial influence on police practice lies in a better science of policing. Based on the contributions in our volume, we identify and elaborate on six key areas where improvement in the science of policing is required. These include “second generation” studies, the quality and breadth of scientific methods, comparative research, the science of street level behavior, implementation science, and normative dimensions.
