Abstract

THIS REPORT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS. PART ONE INCLUDES: FIRST, A PRESENTATION OF OUR ASSUMPTIONS, DEFINITIONS AND ANALYTICAL APPROACH, AND SOME GENERAL CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE NATURE AND QUALITY OF THE LITERATURE REVIEWED; SECOND, A CONSIDERATION OF THE OBJECTIVES OF ROUTINE PATROL OPERATIONS, AN EXAMINATION OF THE ASSUMED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE OBJECTIVES AND THE STRATEGIES AND TACTICS OF PATROL, AND AN EXAMINATION OF THE INDICATORS USED TO MEASURE PATROL EFFECTIVENESS; AND THIRD, A SUMMARY OF OUR CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE CONTENT AND QUALITY OF THE AVAILABLE LITERATURE WITH REGARD TO SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL ISSUES. PART II CONTAINS SIX WORKING PAPERS, EACH OF WHICH PRESENTS A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF RELEVANT LITERATURE RELATED TO SPECIFIC SETS OF OPERATIONAL ISSUES IN ROUTINE PREVENTIVE PATROL. THE SIX PAPERS COVER MODE OF PATROL, PATTERNS OF PATROL, SUPERVISION OF UNIFORMED PATROL OFFICERS, CHARACTERISTICS OF PATROL OFFICERS, OFFICER PROFESSIONALISM, AND ROUTINE PATROL IN THE COMMUNITY.
