“…Legal levers used in TPP are drawn primarily from regulatory laws (Braithwaite, 2002), where the emphasis is on articulated and graduated actions that ultimately seek voluntary cooperation (see Mazerolle & Ransley, 2006). Ayres and Braithwaite (1992) and Braithwaite (2006Braithwaite ( , 2011 describe this system of graduated sanctions as a regulatory pyramid capturing how regulators respond to each successive act of noncompliance by progressing through a hierarchical range of sanctions in a systematic and increasingly punitive way (see also Mazerolle, 2014, p. 352;Mazerolle et al, 2016). In the case of truancy legislation, action starts with ad hoc communication by school principals to the parents about the consequences of their child not regularly attending school.…”

“…The actions then sequentially escalate to more punitive consequences to gain compliance. It is the systematic harnessing of the third party partner's codified and stipulated processes for regulating conduct that differentiates TPP from other policing processes (Mazerolle et al, 2016), such as problemoriented policing (see Eck & Spelman, 1987;Goldstein, 1990) and focused deterrence (see Braga, 2008).…”

“…One particular type of partnership is called Third Party Policing (TPP) (see Buerger & Mazerolle, 1998;Mazerolle & Ransley, 2006). In TPP, the partners (known as the third party) use their knowledge of legal statutes and regulations to create opportunities for police to target crime problem places, people, or situations in collaborative ways, with a focus on on gaining willing compliance with the law and deterring people from breaking the law (Braithwaite, 1999(Braithwaite, , 2000Cheh, 1998;Mazerolle & Ransley, 2006;Mazerolle et al, 2016). TPP is identified by Weisburd and Braga as one of eight key policing innovations of the 21 st century (Weisburd & Braga, 2019).…”

The views expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the Australian Research Council. As with any large-scale trial, the work that is presented Research Summary: Partnerships are an integral part of the working life of police, yet not a lot is known about how such partnerships work to deter and control crime problems. This article explores the impact of a Third Party Policing Partnership involving police and schools coming together to engage with parents to address their child's truancy and antisocial behavior. We report on results from an embedded behavioral economics experiment within the Ability School Engagement Program (ASEP) Trial. ASEP involved 102 young people who were chronically truant from school and randomly allocated to the experimental partnership program (ASEP) or the business-as-usual condition. We find that riskier choices made by parents increase the incidence of child self-reported antisocial behavior (SRASB). Our results show parents in the ASEP condition had greater gains in knowledge of the education laws relative to control. There was a backfire effect for parents in the control group: Their gains in knowledge of the laws led their children to have higher levels of SRASB. Policy Implications: Policing partnerships are an important part of the future of policing. Police partnerships with schools are a promising approach for engaging parents and young people in a manner that clearly

“…TPP is one of many partnership approaches that emerged as a result of a transformation in governance experienced by western democracies in the latter part of the twentieth century (Mazerolle, Higginson & Eggins, 2013; see Mazerolle & Ransley, 2005 for a review). Two significant implications of this transformation were widespread formation of regulatory agencies and laws, (Braithwaite, 1999; and a blurring of boundaries between the traditionally distinct categories of criminal, regulatory, private and civil law (Cheh, 1998;Mazerolle & Ransley, 2005; see also Ransley, 2014).…”

“…A TPP partnership comprises the police (as the first party) and a third party (an external entity) that harnesses the legal powers of the third party in order to collaboratively prevent or control a crime or disorder problem (the second party) (Buerger & Mazerolle, 1998;Mazerolle & Ransley, 2005;Mazerolle, Higginson & Eggins, 2013). The public police play an active role in 'establishing a partnership with third parties in order to harness their crime control or prevention capacity' (Mazerolle et al, 2013, p. 4).…”

Encouraging school re-engagement: exploring the operation of the legal mechanisms of a Third Party Policing school engagement intervention

Truancy is a major social issue linked to several risk factors at the individual, family, school and community/economic levels of analysis (Baker, Sigmon & Nugent, 2001). Truancy requires holistic and targeted interventions that recognise its complexity, along with the need for a sustainable program to minimise its long and short-term impacts on young people, their families, police and society in general (Nitschke, Mazerolle & Bennett, 2013). A recent example of such an approach is the Ability School Engagement Program (ASEP): an experimental test of Third Party Policing (TPP), based in Queensland, Australia, where police and school partners collaborate to reduce truancy and associated crime problems (Mazerolle, 2014). The ASEP uses a Family Group Conference (FGC) forum to guide a procedurally just dialogue between police and schools, and parents and truants, to explore the underlying reasons for truancy, convey the effects and legal consequences of truancy, and to build the legitimacy of police and school authorities, with the explicit purpose of increasing the truants' capacity and willingness to re-engage with school. Research on the ASEP to date reports promising outcomes relating to significantly reduced absenteeism, official offending and self-reported delinquency among the ASEP conference participants (Mazerolle, vii Acknowledgements In submitting this dissertation, I would first and foremost like to acknowledge my principal supervisor, Professor Lorraine Mazerolle, and my associate supervisors, Dr Sarah Bennett and Dr Emma Antrobus. Throughout my candidature, Lorraine, Sarah and Emma gave me sage advice and assistance in developing this dissertation, contributed countless resources and offered a constant stream of encouragementeven at the eleventh hour. I am very fortunate to have their support and mentoring. I would especially like to thank Lorraine for the privilege of being involved in research as part of the Ability School Engagement Program. I would also like to thank other team members of the ASEP research team, particularly those who were involved in transcribing the audio recordings of the Family Group Conferences. My research would also not have been possible without the approval granted me from the Research Services Branch of Queensland's Department of Education and Training to access administrative data pertaining to truancy prosecutions for Study 1 of this dissertation. I particularly would sincerely like to thank Ms Stephanie Curtis, Principal Advisor, Regional Services for her time and expertise in carefully collating the requested documents. In particular, I appreciate the attention Stephanie gave towards ensuring that the files were reader friendly for my screen-reading software. I thank the Institute for Social Science Research (ISSR) for supporting me during my candidature and providing me with all the resources that I needed. In particular, I thank Dr Lisa Pope, ISSR's Postgraduate Administration and Unit Publication Officer, and Dr Cameron Parsell, (Postgraduate Coordinator) who have p...

Problem-oriented policing has garnered a great deal of attention since it was first proposed by Herman Goldstein in 1979. The core of the model is a shift from police operating in a reactive, incident-driven way (primarily responding to calls for service) to a model that requires the police to be proactive in identifying underlying problems that can be targeted to alleviate crime and disorder at their roots. Problem-oriented policing can be thought of as a process rather than a specific intervention. As such, problem-oriented policing can work independently or simultaneously with other modern policing innovations (hot spots policing, focused deterrence etc.) to address problems of crime and disorder. While the ability of problem-oriented policing to target an array of different issues makes it widely applicable, the plethora of different interventions that may qualify as problem-oriented policing make generalizing research on its effect difficult. The current study will provide an updated systematic review of the effectiveness of problemoriented policing in reducing crime and disorder. An earlier Campbell review by three of the same authors covered studies published through
