History and Future of Problem-Solving
\nProblem-solving was first described by Professor Herman Goldstein. He authored the book Problem-Oriented Policing and has been at the forefront of this topic since its inception. Goldstein’s research concluded that police agencies generally respond only after something occurs.
\nHe noticed that the police respond numerous times to the same crime or problem area and never ask questions as to why the crime or problem is reoccurring.
\nThe need to look for the underlying cause, to analyze and respond in order to actually resolve the problem, and then to measure the success of the response became tenets of this problem-solving model. Goldstein, in a series of short interviews, describes the history and application of problem-solving in policing.
\nVisit the Center for Community-Oriented Policing website (the link is provided in theWebliography) and watch the eight video interviews of Goldstein.
