Adaptive policing? Collaboration, partnership and prevention in ‘policing’

Many challenges that face contemporary policing cannot be dealt with by the police acting alone. They require collaboration with other agencies, new forms of leadership that go beyond traditional institutional boundaries, and partnership working strategies that enable data sharing and preventively orientated thinking. This workshop identifies some of the potential and some of the challenges that such collaborative working raises, explores how such processes can enable institutional learning, and reflects on how the concept of ‘adaptation’ may help in the negotiation of these emergent partnership-based and preventively orientated policing practices.
