Stratified Policing  (English, Paperback, Santos Roberto)

Stratified Policing seeks to facilitate organizational change for crime reduction by providing a clear and adaptable structure for analysis, problem solving, and accountability. The purpose of this book is to outline the theoretical and practical foundations of Stratified Policing as well as its components and specific guidance for police departments to tailor the approach and implement it into their day-to-day operational crime reduction efforts. The material is well grounded in theory, research, and best practices and well cited; however, the presentation and language will be suited for the practitioner/professional audience. The book is a culmination of the authors 15 years of work and will synthesize their research, other publications on Stratified Policing, and provide new material for police leaders and professionals who are seeking an organizational structure to institutionalize crime reduction strategies into their day to day operations. The book has a very practical voice as both authors have been practitioners and have worked with many police agencies implementing and evaluating the strategies discussed in the book.
