Abstract
This chapter provides a background on the idea of evidence-based policing, which is a law that has become an anchoring concept for government funding for research and technical assistance in policing. It defines evidence-based policing as research, evaluation, analysis, and scientific processes that should have a place in law enforcement decision making about tactics, strategies, and policies. It also cites different types of activities that involve evidence-based policing, such as using rigorous evaluation methods to examine the effectiveness of a police training program. The chapter highlights the evidence-based policing philosophy that stresses regular, institutionalized, and consistent use of research, analysis, and science to inform a broad range of activities. It explores the complexities, challenges, and nuances in the effective practice of evidence-based policing.
