With the advantages and disadvantages.
Evidence-based Policing Evidence-based policing is the use of the best available research on the outcomes of police work to implement guidelines and evaluate agencies, units, and officers. With evidence-based policing it is harder to get out of trouble for what you did because there is proof that you was there and did the crime. Evidence-based policing uses research in everyday police procedures to evaluate current practices and to guide officers and police executives in future decision making. In a discussion of evidence-based policing it is important to understand that the word evidence refers to scientific evidence rather than to criminal evidence. In the today’s policing the evidence-based policing are gaining traction and has been called the single most powerful force for change. Leading the movement towards evidence-based policing are organizations like the FBIs and the Campbell Crime and Justice Group. The Campbell Crime and Justice Group emphasizes the use of experimental studies in crime and justice policy making. In the criminal justice today book pg.158, Sherman says: “the basic premise of evidence-based practice is that we are entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. Our own facts or our own beliefs about the way things should be done often turnout wrong”.
The advantages and disadvantages of evidence-based policing today. Here are some advantages of evidence-based policing are that it is structured to help reduce the crime rate; it is also to help the structure of the law enforcers thinking and approach. Another advantage to evidence-based policing is that with the evidence it will give you a better judgment on how things were done and sometimes it will help you decipher who had any part in the crime. Evidence-based policing helps the police to go after the right person and not the wrong person.
