Abstract
Within the current economic climate, there has been a steady concern over rising costs associated with the criminal justice system. Indeed, in many countries, policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, and others have been struggling with questions of how to increase efficiency and effectiveness within each of the justice system's domains. In some cases, these struggles have been exacerbated by a dearth of quality research. Policing has hardly been immune from these discussions. In the present article, the authors explore a hidden, frequently untapped resource that we believe may help to increase the production of quality policing research: police pracademics (practitioner-academics). In the pages that follow, we explore at least four key ways in which utilizing pracademics can benefit both police agencies and the larger policing research agenda.
