| dc.description.abstract | Police are charged with crime prevention and control. One of the most effective strategies in accomplishing this mission is hot spots-based policing. Hot spots policing is putting more police in a geographically high crime area (Weisburd & Telep, 2014). It has empirically been proven as effective and results in diffusion benefits, rather than crime displacement consequences. All law enforcement agencies should adopt hot spots policing. They should also attempt to layer other ideas and strategies with it. Mental health of citizens is one recent way to show some effectiveness. Citizens approve of hot spots policing as a crime intervention strategy. | en_US |
