SPRINGERBRIEFS IN CRIMINOLOGY DEVELOPING AND ...

This Brief discusses methods to develop and maintain police - researcher partnerships. First 
the authors provide information that will be useful to police managers and researchers who are
interested in creating and maintaining partnerships to conduct research  work together to
improve policing and help others understand the linkages between the two groups. Then  more
specifically  they describe how police managers consider and utilize research in policing and
criminal justice and its findings from a management perspective in both the United States and
Australia. While both countries experience similar issues of trust  acceptance  utility  and
accountability between researchers and practitioners  the experiences in the countries differ.
In the United States with 17 000 agencies  the use of research findings by police agencies
requires understanding  diffusion and acceptance. In Australia with a small number of larger
agencies  the problems of research-practitioner partnerships have different translational
issues  including acceptance and application. As long as police practitioners and academic
researchers hold distinct and different impressions of each other  the likelihood of positive 
cooperative  and sustainable agreements between them will suffer.
