  4. The Netherlands Twente has the best police force of the Netherlands, is the conclusion of the Interior Minister, based on a comparison of the results of the Dutch 26 police forces. Twente police scored 68 out of a total of 80 possible points for matters such as “satisfaction amongst the population”, number of arrests and speed of working

  5. Obstacles to knowledge development Impractical research far removed from daily practice. No real input or involvement from within police forces. Idea “with us, it’s different” Idea that thinking and reflection undermine hierarchy or discipline Idea that thinking and reflection undermine the need for action Idea that spending time on knowledge is not “real work.” More comfortable to hold on to a cherished opinion Lack of time, opportunities and resources

The only way to manage dangerous situations is to train officers to react as quickly as possible to emergency situations and to think up solutions as quickly as possible.

  9. “What works”(Sherman e.a., 1997) correlational research pre- and post measurement without control group quasi-experimental design with control group experiments where other variables are controlled randomized experiments
