problem-oriented policing

Read a random definition: cure

A quick definition of problem-oriented policing:

Problem-oriented policing is a way that police officers work to stop crime by figuring out why it happens in the first place. Instead of just trying to find out who did the crime, they try to find out what caused it and how to fix that problem. This helps to prevent future crimes from happening.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Problem-oriented policing is a strategy used by law enforcement officers to reduce crime by identifying and addressing the root causes of criminal incidents, rather than just focusing on basic information like the identity of the perpetrator.

Example: Let's say there is a high rate of car thefts in a particular neighborhood. Instead of just responding to each individual theft, a problem-oriented policing approach would involve analyzing the underlying causes of the thefts. This might include looking at factors like inadequate lighting, lack of security cameras, or a high number of abandoned vehicles in the area. By addressing these underlying issues, law enforcement can reduce the overall rate of car thefts in the neighborhood.

Another example: A police department might notice that there is a high rate of domestic violence calls in a particular area. Instead of just responding to each individual call, a problem-oriented policing approach would involve looking at the root causes of the violence. This might include factors like poverty, lack of access to mental health resources, or a history of substance abuse. By addressing these underlying issues, law enforcement can work to reduce the overall rate of domestic violence in the area.

Overall, problem-oriented policing is a proactive approach to law enforcement that seeks to address the underlying causes of crime, rather than just responding to individual incidents as they occur.
