Collaborative Governance and Partnerships in Policing

Abstract

This study has reviewed past literature on policing to shed lights on how collaborative governance may be used in the police service. In sum, evidence suggests that partnership in the police service has a huge potential of benefits in managing crime and safety, but it also requires a substantial level of attention to reap such gains. This research has looked into three distinct forms of partnerships in particular; police-probation, police-community and multi-agency partnerships. Each of these initiatives has their strengths and weaknesses. The main benefit of police-probation collaboration is that it significantly enhances supervision and apprehending of the offenders. On the other hand, community policing has been found to be effective in reducing the crime rate in the society through information sharing and reporting of cases of lawbreaking in the neighborhood. A multi-agency partnership improves the efficiency of service provision but requires a significant level of vigilance and coordination to minimize chances of conflicts.

Has the construction of digital infrastructure improved the efficiency of environmental governance? — Evidence from 235 cities in China

“…The construction of digital infrastructure can provide basic conditions for the rapid acquisition, collection, processing, storage, and retrieval of environmental data and improve the government's environmental monitoring capabilities. This approach can also facilitate the rapid dissemination of environmental information, increase public environmental demands, innovate environmental governance channels, promote the interconnection of environmental data and information, achieve scienti c and intelligent decision-making in environmental governance, and enhance real-time response ability and governance e ciency (Li Li, Sun Yifeng, 2016). [] Some studies also suggest that the impact of digital infrastructure construction on the e ciency of environmental governance exhibits a U-shaped relationship with lag and heterogeneity (Xiao Renqiao, Wang Ran, Qian Li, 2023, Pang Ruizhi et al, 2021).…”

Collaborative Governance in Police: A Review of Research, Managerial Implication and Agenda for Future Research

“…Collaboration can take place between the police and private institutions such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), private companies, social service providers, religious institutions, and other community members (Juliarti et al, 2021;Xavier & Bianchi, 2020). The role of citizens in community safety issues is very limited; however, the police realize that communities can provide important information about criminal events in their neighborhoods (M. Li, 2017). Midlen, (2023) points out that citizens can be an important source of support for Law enforcement agencies can contribute significantly to the process of investigating and reporting on unlawful activities that occur in society.…”
