Intelligence-Led Policing and Theories of Criminology
Rational choice, as defined by Larry Seigel, is when an offender makes a rational choice to break the law to either improve his personal situation or to further a value he holds as important. The rational choice to break the law is partly based on "…how efficient the local police happen to be…" and in the case of ILP, if the police and the community are united and the signs of cooperation are clearly evident, it may prevent the potential criminal from taking action.
In the case of the psychological trait theory, psychologists will be incorporated into the Intelligence-Led Policing because their expertise can provide important clues as to what to expect from criminals vis-a-vis behaviors that reflect their intentions. Further, the psychological traits of police officers can make a difference in becoming familiar with the various personalities in the community. For example, the personality traits of female police officers -- which tend towards a "…compassionate, sympathetic, and diplomatic" approach to interaction with members of the community (law-abiding and law-breaking members) -- can play an important role in gathering intelligence for ILP databases (Plotnik, et al., 2010). Male police officers tend to be more "…assertive, aggressive, and direct" which may not be as successful when law enforcement seeks citizen information regarding potential threats, Plotnik explains. In other words, gathering intelligence by interacting professionally with members of the community -- the eyes that are needed...
For its support of Israel; identifying individuals in the community who clearly have a grudge against the U.S. For political reasons will be an important part of ILP.
In conclusion, there will be new and modified theories of criminal behavior as ILP gains momentum and is implemented in more communities. There will be learning within law enforcement departments -- learning about the potential terrorist or organized crime activities in post-9/11 America, and learning how to engage community members to become the eyes and ears of law enforcement before criminals have a chance to carry out the plans.

2Intelligence-Led PolicingLearning Task: Week 1- What are the factors that have favored the emergence of Intelligence Led Policing (ILP)? Use the chronology of policing models given by Ratcliffe as a guide (i.e., contrast what is similar and different about ILP from the major policing models).Intelligence-led policing is a decision-making strategy that analyzes criminal intelligence as an objective decision-making tool that facilitates crime prevention and reduction through effective and efficient policing
Critical Review of Knowledge, Gaps, and Best Practices in Interpreting in ILPIntroductionIntelligence-led policing (ILP) is a policing strategy that relies on the use of intelligence to guide police operations. The aim of ILP is to proactively prevent and solve crime, rather than simply responding to incidents after they have occurred. A recent review of the literature found that ILP initiatives have been associated with reductions in crime and disorder, as
In fact, the study showed that most citizens in Kansas City couldn't even tell when the frequency of police patrols were increased or decreased. The conclusions were clear to me that the increase in police patrols did not significantly deter crime. Yet, still, we continue to practice such increased police presence strategies. Personally, I believe this is more to help ease citizens and tax payers' minds. With the police forces
Police Intelligence: Rapidly Changing the Way Police Organizations Fight Crime Since the professional era of policing, the traditional role of the police officer in the United States has primarily been that of crime fighter. Law enforcement officers detect and arrest offenders to keep the public safe and until relatively recently, the job was pretty straightforward. The officer would walk his beat, talking to the community and acting to reassure them. If
Police Management: Throughout history, police management has experienced numerous changes because of the various significant changes that have continued to occur in the society. The emerging trends have contributed to the development of new policing governance, which has had considerable implications for police management. Towards the end of the 20th Century, the governmental police reforms have contributed to an end to public policing, a claim that is regarded as extrapolated
police adopted intelligence-Led policing? What are the problems associated with its implementations? Over time, policing methods have advanced, with the most recent strategy in improving response time of police being intelligence-led policing (or ILP). ILP is still in its initial developmental stages, is still not wholly understood, and has not yet been adopted by all agencies (Taylor, Kowalyk and Boba 2007). Studying police managers' views and attitudes can help recognize
