Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) commissioned this research to obtain evidence of public attitudes towards anti-social behaviour and police response, and to highlight potential implications for the police in their approaches to anti-social behaviour.  In particular, the research identified what people understand by the term 'anti-social behaviour'; who they feel ought to be responsible for dealing with it; their expectations of key agencies such as the police; and the conditions under which people report particular incidents/behaviour.  The research measures attitudes towards contact with the police when reporting anti-social behaviour and identifies key areas for improvement. 9365 POLI

e tendens waarneembaar dat het politie- en justitiedomein meer aandacht krijgt voor 'evidence based' beleid. Programma's en beleidsmaatregelen moeten eerst 'bewezen werkzaam' zijn vooraleer ze verdere financiering kennen en de aandacht voor evaluatie groeit. Enerzijds speelt de rationalisering van de schaarse middelen daarin een grote rol en anderzijds het leggen van prioriteiten in allerhande politiële en justitiële beleidsplannen. Dit Cahier geeft een inzicht in wat 'evidence based policing' juist inhoudt, en wat de uitdagingen, de voordelen, de kritieken en de valkuilen zijn. De voorwaarden waaraan experimenteel criminologisch onderzoek moet voldoen worden geschetst. In tweede instantie wordt, o.m. aan de hand van cases, ingegaan op het nut van 'evidence' voor praktijk en beleid en wordt kennis aangereikt over het vinden van een praktische 'vertaling' naar het werkveld. Dit Cahier bundelt zowel bijdragen uit beleid en praktijk als uit het academische milieu. De auteurs zijn afkomstig uit drie landen waarin de mate van implementatie van evidence based policing verschilt. Dit geeft de nodige schakeringen in het 'evidence based' debat. 6241 EVID

In contemporary late-modern society, security landscapes are being re-sketched. Various traditional and new security providers are part of this evolving scene. The military and the police, who are thought of as 'the old boys in town,' are meeting once again. As central components in the power structure of any State, they are heavily involved in this new security design, generating both latent and obvious blurring of boundaries. From different perspectives, this book explores the blurring boundaries between the military and the police. It presents historical contexts, concepts, implications, challenges, and cases. The blurring of boundaries can therefore be interpreted in two ways, as either complementary or competitive. 0300 EAST

Stresses the importance of EU-wide multidisciplinary and integrated efforts (between competent authorities and civil society organisations) in collecting epidemiological data as a basis for improved, knowledge-based policy-making in the area of missing and sexually exploited minors. It comprises country reports of all 15 EU Member States. Each country report provides essential definitional information regarding the various forms of sexual exploitation of children and types of missing children, outlines the way data collection on sexual exploited and missing children by various governmental (police, judicial, other) and non-governmental actors is organised, and deliver available data on the phenomena concerned. A final, comparative report bridges the country report information into a first Union-wide epidemiological state of the art, thus showing that current data collection is organised in a very chaotic and poor fashion. At the same time, the report identifies the main weaknesses and shortcomings of applied data collection methods. It also offers a set of recommendations for both Member State and EU action in striving for improved and integrated ways of collecting, administering and centralising reliable, comparable and comprehensive data on the various forms of missing and sexually exploited children. 5600 MISS
