ABSTRACT
Police violence and corruption are never far from media headlines and present as endemic problems around the world. This chapter reviews innovative prevention-focused strategies developed in response to the limitations of a traditional model of police integrity management. Advanced strategies—which attempt to close off opportunity factors for misconduct and facilitate ethical behaviour—include diagnostics and strategic impact assessments, early intervention systems, drug and alcohol testing, covert tactics, overt surveillance, substantive external oversight, and stepped-up procedures and training. The chapter reviews the available evaluation literature, highlighting contemporary developments and drawing recommendations for best practices.
