National Policing Institute (USA) 9/3/2022 Report Evidence-based policing: A review of its adoption and use by police agencies in the United States of America USA: It has been claimed that evidence-based research plays an important role in policing (Knutsson, 2017; Telep and Lum, 2014; Punch, 2015) because it is able to distinguish what will work in policing (see Sherman, 1998, 2013, 2015). The awareness of evidence-based practices and research in policing can be traced back to a lecture that was given by Sherman to the Police Foundation in 1998, where he asserted that “police practices should be based on scientific evidence about what works best” (p. 2). Since the lecture, a movement that has been led by both practitioners and academics has been established, and advocates are using the findings from evidence-based scientific research methods to guide the development of police policy and to assist in police decision-making (Goode and Lumsden 2016; Herrington 2016; Huey and Ricciardelli, 2016; Lum and Koper 2017; Stanko and Dawson 2016). It has also been claimed that the increase in interest in the concept has reached such a level that “examples of the growth of evidence-based policing abound” (Sherman, 2013, p. 379).
