Correct Answer:
Problem-oriented policing is closely associated with, but independent from, community policing and requires police agencies to identify particular long-term community problems and to develop strategies to eliminate them.

Community policing means the redesign of police departments' administration and management to focus on the problems of the community, not on the needs of the department.
Evidence shows that targeting specific crimes through directed patrol has no influence on crime rates.
