What is renewal strategy?
the idea of changing, improving and preventing crime
Community policing
example
emphasises on building relationships between police officers and the community

problems for problem orientated policing?
can be difficult to implement effectively in communities
lack of resources
often time consuming

working with other agencies under crime disorder act 1998 - bringing services together
example: hospitals, schools, universities, communities etc.
problems for partnership policing?
overly reliant on community engagement
too much time to invest
Traditional policing
example
hierarchal organised structure for police officers should be recognised and highly visible, build relationship with the community
example: stop and search
problems for traditional policing?
often focuses on punishment and enforcement rather than addressing the cause of the crime
police are overly aggressive, militarised, disconnected from the communities.
Intelligence-led policing
example
addresses the root causes of crime and disorder by gathering information.
example: high rates of crime in an area
problems for intelligence-led policing?
lack of resources
reliant on tech
evidence-based policing
example
scientific research that is used to guide officers

can be biased
sceptical of law and enforcement
zero-tolerance policing
example
uses the Broken Windows theory - solving minor crimes over the big ones
example: littering
