Document Summary
National criminal justice reference service was established in 1972 to archive and distribute research reports to criminal justice professionals and researchers around the world. Reports are prepared to keep the criminal justice community informed about new research developments. Centre for problem-oriented policing (pop centre) was created to share applied research on a variety of law enforcement problems. Purpose and focus of book is on how we learn and know things, not on what we know. We live in a world of two realities. Experiential reality: the things we know from direct experience (product of our own experience) Agreement reality: the things we consider real because we"ve been told they"re real and everyone else seems to agree they"re real (product of what people have told us) Wilson wrote that patrol was indispensable in preventing crime by eliminating incentives and opportunities for misconduct.
