Résumé
"This document briefly summarizes a Campbell Collaboration
Systematic Review
http://campbellcollaboration.org/lib/download/228/, which
is a longer and more technical report that focused on
evaluations problem-oriented policing (POP/ problem
solving/ problem-oriented partnerships). The evaluations
were then assessed against strict inclusion criteria. Only
those with a design which attempted to rule out alternative
explanations for changes in levels of criminal behavior,
and which had comparison or control sites were included.
The review then draws general conclusions from this pool
of evaluations about how well problem-solving approaches
work in reducing crime and disorder, compared to areas with
similar problems where these tactics were not employed."--Page 1.
