Abstract
In this chapter, the authors explore the various perspectives on police reform. For some, police reform simply means meeting and maintaining established professional standards. For others, it means retrofitting new evidence-based strategies and tools to improve the effectiveness of the police in achieving its crime control mandate. Still others want to completely rethink the police mandate altogether, either coopting existing methods toward revised ends or completely transforming the institution with new methods for a revised mandate. The authors speculate why these perspectives occur and what they might mean for the policing in an age of reform.
