As the President of the college, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for visiting us and giving your full support to the symposium. The theme of the symposium is policing diplomacy to support China and The Belt and Road Initiative. According to Xinhua News in March 2017, “China’s the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed in 2013 by Chinese President Xi Jinping, aims to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa. China’s Belt and Road Initiative is more about investment, infrastructure, shared opportunity and interconnectivity for a shared future….” “The Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative brings hope that openness, shared development and cooperation will cross walls and barriers.” With the implementation of The Belt and Road Initiative, it is essential to build a peaceful and safe B&R.

  • The Winding Road to Evidence-Based Policy in Corrections: Acase Study of the Israel Prison Service
    Israel Law Review 51(1) 2018, pp 111–125. © Cambridge University Press and The Faculty of Law, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2018. doi:10.1017/S0021223717000218 THE WINDING ROAD TO EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY IN CORRECTIONS: ACASE STUDY OF THE ISRAEL PRISON SERVICE David Weisburd and Badi Hasisi* It is not incumbent upon you to finish the task, but neither are you free to absolve yourself from it. Ethics of the Fathers (Part 2 Chapter 16) There has been a growing trend in recent years towards the adoption of evidence-based policy in a variety of fields, including criminal justice. The purpose of evidence-based policy is to guide the activities of organisations based on scientifically verified facts, enabling the development of effective and efficient pol- icies. In this article, we introduce the commitment of the Israel Prison Service (IPS) to the implementation of evidence-based policy by detailing the processes and development of a large-scale research pro- gramme in the IPS. We illustrate how the cooperation and commitment of key individuals, including suc- cessive IPS Commissioners, have enabled the implementation of evidence-based policy in a hierarchal organisation. Within this context, we demonstrate how human agency is a key factor in the successful implementation of the policy in criminal justice settings. By following the different stages of development and implementation, the example of the IPS also highlights the importance of agencies taking ownership of science. We conclude by arguing that the road to evidence-based policy is a ‘winding road’, highlight- ing the key turning points that influenced the institutionalisation of the policy in the IPS.

Does Hot Spots Policing Inevitably Lead to Unfair and Abusive Police Practices, or Can We Maximize Both Fairness and Effectiveness in the New Proactive Policing? David Weisburdt ABSTRACT Hot spots policing has emerged as one of the most important and widely diffused of what are sometimes termed the "new policing" strategies. Such strategies were developed in response to a critique of police effectiveness in preventing crime that developed in the late twentieth century. While hot spots policing strategies have been shown to be effective in preventing crime, a narrativeis developing that links hot spots policing, as well as other new policing strategiesfocused on crime control, to unfair and brutal police practices. In this paper, I examine this growing narrative both to challenge some of its assumptions and to create a counter narrative about how we can integrate hot spots policing with approaches that encourage positive evaluations of police legitimacy.

MASTROFSKI George Mason University ANN MARIE MCNALLY Police Foundation ROSANN GREENSPAN University of California-Berkeley JAMES J. WILLIS University of Massachussetts-Boston Research Summary: This paper provides the first national description of Compstat pro- grams, considered in the framework of strategicproblem solving. Rely- ing on a survey of American police departments conducted by the Police Foundation, we examine the diffusion of Compstat programs and the nature of Compstat models throughout the United States. We also assess the penetration of models of strategicproblem solving more generally into American policing. Our findings document a process of "diffusion of innovation" of Compstat-like programs in larger police agencies that follows a rapid pace. At the same time, our data suggest that many elements of strategicproblem solving had begun to be imple- mented more widely across American police agencies before the emer- gence of Compstat as a programmatic entity, and that such elements * This research was supported by Grant 98-IJ-CX-0070 from the National Institute of Justice to the Police Foundation.

  • Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Criminological Research in the Netherlands

N. Bruinsma & David Weisburd Published online: 2 May 2007 # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2007 This special issue of the journal is focused on experimental and quasi-experimental research in the Netherlands. It includes four Dutch studies of crime and law enforcement and one paper dealing with the practical implementation of (random- ized) experiments and evaluation research in the Dutch criminal justice system. These papers reflect the most recent developments in criminology and criminal justice in the Netherlands, a country with hardly any tradition in experimental criminological research. In the first half of the 20th century, only one experimental study was developed in Holland. In 1921 Jan de Jongh received his Ph.D. in medicine at the University of Amsterdam for a quasi-experimental study on the changes in moral judgments of boys and girls of different age groups. The experimental groups were in custody at that time, and the control groups consisted of ‘normal’ juveniles (De Jongh 1921). No other experimental study was published after this Ph.D. One of the reasons might G. J. N. Bruinsma (*) Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), P.O.
