Police Professional 1/8/2022 News New patterns in residential burglary: The method of deadbolt lock picking This article examines the adaptability of burglars and tactical displacement in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, as part of an ‘arms race’ escalating in response to the sophistication of offensive and preventive measures.

Data: This analysis examines police agency policies on the use of force regulation, evaluations of training initiatives, research on supervision, problem officers, and other dimensions of the issues and possible solutions. Methods: The analysis examines both documented correlates and the strength of causal inference about those correlates of reductions in the use of force.
