Replicating & Reproducing Policing Research
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-71208-6 (ISBN)
This book addresses the need for policing scholarship to strengthen its empirical cumulative knowledge base by replicating and reproducing earlier studies.
The chapters in this volume advance policing research by replicating and reproducing earlier studies, investigating the generalizability of research findings, and making data and research methods available to other researchers to encourage scientific exploration of previous research findings. Each chapter addresses important scientific goals of validity, reliability, and generalizability, which build our cumulative knowledge of what is known in policing research, ultimately informing policymaking. The book offers insights into why replicating and reproducing policing scholarship is critical; from emphasizing the importance of making data and study material publicly available to facilitate replications and reproductions, to reproducing studies in new contexts and cautioning against making policy-making decisions based on studies that have not been replicated.
This volume highlights the immense value in shifting researchers’ priorities – even slightly – to focus less so on originality and innovation to make room for replications and reproductions, thereby shedding light on how true, empirical knowledge on policing and police practice is dependent on it. This book was originally published as a special issue of Police Practice and Research.
Khadija Monk is Assistant Professor at the School of Criminal Justice & Criminalistics at California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA). She is also a liaison between Cal State LA and the Los Angeles Police Department’s Police Orientation & Preparation Program (POPP). Dr. Monk’s research interests include police-community relations, crime prevention, crime policy, and disparities in the criminal justice system. Her work has been published in Crime & Delinquency, the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, and the International Journal of Police Strategies & Management. Jacek Koziarski earned his Ph.D. from the Sociology Department at the University of Western Ontario, and his B.A. and M.A. degrees in Criminology from the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Jacek’s research centers on various aspects of policing, with a particular focus on police interactions with persons with perceived mental illness. Another line of inquiry for Jacek’s work centers around examining the spatial and temporal patterns of both crime and non-crime-related policing issues. Some of his research appears in peer-reviewed outlets such as Crime Science, Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice, and Criminology & Public Policy.
