Question 1

Review Lawrence Sherman's (1998) recommendation on evidence-based practices and how they can influence policing.

Accepted Answer

Lawrence Sherman's (1998) recommendation on evidence-based practices in policing emphasizes the importance of using scientific research and data to inform and guide law enforcement strategies and decision-making. He argues that evidence-based practices can help police agencies to better understand what works and what doesn't in crime prevention and control, and to allocate resources more effectively.

Sherman suggests that evidence-based practices can influence policing by promoting the use of rigorous evaluation methods to assess the impact of different interventions and strategies. By systematically collecting and analyzing data on crime patterns, offender behavior, and the effectiveness of various policing tactics, law enforcement agencies can identify the most promising approaches for reducing crime and improving public safety.

Furthermore, Sherman emphasizes the need for police agencies to collaborate with researchers and academics to develop and implement evidence-based practices. By fostering partnerships with experts in criminology and criminal justice, law enforcement can gain access to the latest research findings and best practices, and can contribute to the generation of new knowledge through field experiments and evaluations.

Overall, Sherman's recommendation on evidence-based practices underscores the potential for scientific research and data-driven decision-making to enhance the effectiveness and legitimacy of policing. By embracing evidence-based practices, police agencies can become more accountable, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the communities they serve.
