Armed Robbery: Two Police Responses
نویسنده
چکیده
The report summarises what is known about the extent and nature of armed robbery nationally, highlighting the reductions in the number of these crimes in 1994 and 1995. It goes on to examine the policing strategies in two very different forces the Metropolitan Police and South Yorkshire Police showing how the police response can be tailored to the particular environment and local circumstances. The value of proactive police work and the use of informants is clearly demonstrated in the Metropolitan Police, while the speed and quality of response to incidents, using local information in interviewing suspects was important in South Yorkshire.
