Problem-oriented policing (POP) means diagnosing and solving problems that are increasing crime risks, usually in areas that are seeing comparatively high levels of crime (e.g., “hot spots”). POP is challenging in that agencies need to diagnose and solve what could be any of a wide range of crime-causing problems. Fortunately, there are some establ...
To Diagnose Problems, Talk to the Local Community
Getting information from community members about crimes, potential perpetrators, and environmental problems that increase crime risk — and acting on that information — is strongly associated with having greater crime reductions in our analyses. Here are some examples of ways to do this: 1. While out in the field, ask residents about any crime and disorder problems they see, as well as information they might have on perpetrators of prior crimes. 2. Officers can provide residents and property o...
Follow a Step-by-Step Process for Diagnosing Problems and Developing Solutions
This process emphasizes understanding problems and their causes, developing and testing solutions, and learning from the experience. This process is drawn from Shiba and Walden (2002), which notes three kinds of “resources” agencies need to supply for successful problem-solving efforts: skill-building, analysis, and implementation support. The checklists that follow address each resource.
The following are tips on common types of POP interventions. These should be thought of as tools in a larger toolkit. Much as one would not use a hammer when a screwdriver is needed, one would not try to choose crime-reducing solutions without determining what the crime-generating problems are and what the surrounding situation is. Generating this ...
Problem-oriented policing (POP), coined by University of Wisconsin–Madison professor Herman Goldstein, is a policing strategy that involves the identification and analysis of specific crime and disorder problems, in order to develop effective response strategies. POP requires police to identify and target underlying problems that can lead to ...
Problem-oriented policing (POP) is perhaps the most aptly named policing strategy—it means resolving problems that are increasing crime risks, typically in areas that are seeing comparatively high levels of crime (e.g., “hot spots”). What types of problems are solved and the strategies for solving them vary widely, depending on the situation.
Problem-oriented policing is an analytic method for developing crime reduction tactics. This strategy draws upon theories of criminal opportunity, such as rational choice and routine activities, to analyze crime problems and develop appropriate responses (Braga, 2008; Clarke, 1997; Reisig, 2010).

Problem-oriented policing (POP) is an approach to tackle crime and disorder by identifying, analysing and responding to specific problems. This review summarises the evidence on POP's effect, mechanism, moderators and challenges, based on a meta-analysis of 34 studies.
