Assignment Task please this report in Australia NSW
You currently work as a sergeant in a suburban police station in a large
metropolitan region.
Your supervising officer has indicated that you are being given the
Opportunity to develop and implement an operational project that addresses an urgent crime or disorder problem being experienced in your jurisdictional area. In order for the operational project to be supported you are required to develop a written report that addresses the following criteria:
1. Choose a neighbourhood crime and disorder problem
2. Identify the operational police strategy
3. Apply the operational police
strategy/ies chosen to the specific crime and disorder problem being discussed
First Decision
Students are to select a crime or disorder problem in a neighbourhood
(e.g., break and enters, disorder, vandalism, graffiti, robberies, assaults)
The crime or disorder problem is a low-level problem that is able to be
tackled by an operational strategy that is implemented by officers at a
suburban police station
Your first decision is to decide on a crime and disorder problem
What should guide your decision?
Something that you are interested in learning more about Identification of relevant research that links the crime and disorder problem to one of the police strategies you are
Second Decision
Select a policing strategy from the lectures in Weeks 6 to 9
Should you choose one or more policing strategies?
As we have discussed, often one police strategy is unable to
fully address a particular crime and disorder problem
Strategies to choose from:
Rapid response policing; patrolling (random patrol)
Hot spots policing (including directed patrol)
Third Party policing
Community policing is an overarching strategy (will need to
identify specific types of operational strategies within
community policing, ie. Foot patrol; community meetings etc)
Problem-oriented policing is a framework it is a stepped
process of implementing an approach to crime/disorder problems
Application of POP requires a supporting strategy particularly, in the
response phase.

Type of offenders; types of victims of crime; types of places;
offender/victim relationships (if relevant)

of the chosen police strategy/ies;clear identification and discussion of the steps
involved in applying the operational police strategy to the specific crime and disorder problem chosen;use of evidence sourced from empirical literature to critique the validity and usefulness of applying the chosen operational police
strategy to the specific crime and disorder problem;an empirically justified critique of the likelihood of its effectiveness in reducing the crime and disorder problem being addressed

The Policing Strategy/ies
Part 2
Your report should include: a discussion of the theoretical underpinnings
of the chosen police strategy/ies; clear identification and discussion of the
steps involved in applying the operational police strategy to the specific crime and disorder problem chosen; use of evidence sourced from empirical literature to critique the validity and usefulness of applying the chosen operational police
Strategy to the specific crime and disorder problem; an empirically justified critique of the likelihood of its effectiveness in reducing the crime and disorder problem being addressed
The Policing Strategy/ies
The assignment is about you applying and policing strategy to a crime and
disorder problem Justify (using empirical literature findings, ie. Studies that have tested the effectiveness of the strategy you have chosen in respect to the crime
problem you have chosen)
WHY the police strategy is going to be effective in reducing the crime
problem
Do NOT simply take a policing program (ie. use one single report that described the application of POP to a crime problem) and review their findings
You must use a range of literature sources and develop the policing strategy for the specific community and crime problem that you are addressing as a sergeant in a suburban police station
Application of a Police Strategy
Format: Essay style; with paragraphs; intro and concluding paragraphs; you can use headings
Referencing: APA style No more than 5 year old
