"Problem-oriented policing focuses on specific problems of crime and disorder to identify and alter the factors that give rise to those problems. Because many jurisdictions experience similar crime problems, chances are excellent that another police department has already dealt with a specific problem. Departments can save themselves time by finding out which responses were successful and which were not. This guide is designed to take police officers and departments quickly to the information they need and help them evaluate and make the best use of it. "
