Community policing is implicitly premised on the notion that for relationships between police and communities to improve, both sides need to find ways to accommodate one another. These ideas are consistent with Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT), which focuses on the communicative mechanisms through which people accommodate or fail to accommodate one another. Genuine listening is a key mechanism for accommodating others. Drawing on CAT, we explore a community policing initiative called Hearts and Minds that was developed and implemented in Trinidad and Tobago, a Caribbean nation that has experienced a significant outbreak of violence over the past two decades. Our qualitative analysis relies on interviews with police officers. Based on this analysis, we discuss the importance of listening in police-community dialogue. We also discuss the implications of this research for theory, research, and practice.

Nonetheless, when homicides do occur, the damage they do is incalculable. Consequently, every effort should be made to prevent these crimes. A great deal of policing resources goes into preventing and investigating homicide.It was surprising to learn that a problem-solving guide for homicide did not exist. Perhaps this was by design: homicide is a relatively rare crime that is diverse in its antecedents and its modus operandi, meaning that a concise and universal set of guidelines on how to approach and prevent it is not forthcoming. In addition, homicide is implicitly accounted for in several problem-solving guides that address more frequent forms of violence. Nonetheless, there is enough similarity in the process of understanding and responding to homicide to warrant a short collection of guidance on how a police force, officer, analyst or team might begin to address a homicide problem in their area. Problem-solving or problem-oriented policing is one of several techniques that may be taken to address a policing problem. It provides a structure through which any crime or disorder problem can be identified, understood and effectively responded to and it involves four stages. It is based on a logic that addressing a crime problem is dependent on a clear identification and definition of that problem (Scanning), a rigorous and critical intelligence-driven determination of the main drivers of that problem (Analysis), the implementation of a response or responses that tackle those drivers (Response) and a robust evaluation of the effectiveness of the response (Assessment). This short guide will provide readers with an entry point to problem-solving with a focus on homicide. It uses examples from the homicide literature and discusses many of the important things to consider when thinking about these rare, diverse and emotive incidents.
