Background
The National Institute of Justice is soliciting proposals that
develop, refine, and apply rigorous measures to four aspects of
community policing: the context in which community policing occurs; the
characteristics and qualities of policing operations and organizations;
the direct outcomes of policing activities; and the ultimate
consequences of policing for the community at large. Within these four
aspects applications should address two objectives; improving
measurement and assessment, and improving the application of
measurement for evaluation purposes. The Institute is interested in
research that will advance the fields of community policing and
policing research by developing, testing, and implementing new
strategies for measuring and assessing the essential practices,
outcomes, and impacts of policing.
Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of
