Innovative Policing Models? An evaluation of the QPS Hub Policing Trial

This project concerns an innovative police deployment practice that seeks to focus resources on identified crime and disorder problems in particular areas, with the goal of achieving crime reductions while improving community engagement and perceptions of legitimacy. The trial has been established in two regional cities in Qld, and the project is developing a theoretically informed, realist evaluation framework, and assessing performance within that framework in the two trial sites.
