Partnerships in Policing cover

This Element uses systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the nature and effectiveness of third-party policing partnerships.

This Element explores the effectiveness of Third-Party Policing (TPP) partnerships in reducing crime and disorder. It demonstrates that these partnerships are effective without displacement of problems. Dyad partnerships offer the sweet spot in TPP. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.Partnerships in policing are used worldwide to reduce crime and disorder problems. Police forge partnerships with businesses, government agencies, and communities to co-produce public safety. Third-party policing (TPP) is a particular type of partnership that involves the police addressing crime and disorder by working through (and with) third-party partners. This Element focuses on the nature and effectiveness of TPP partnerships. Using systematic review and meta-analytic techniques, it shows that TPP interventions are effective in efforts to reduce crime and disorder, without displacement of these problems. Cooperative partnerships are associated with considerably larger crime control effects than interventions relying on coercive engagement styles. Dyad partnerships – twosome partnerships between police and one third-party partner – are likely to offer the “sweet spot” in TPP. The Element concludes that partnership policing using non-criminal justice legal levers is a promising approach to crime control. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
