Smart Policing Initiatives (SPI) and Fear of Crime

On the smart policing initiatives, the most important aspect to consider is the level of public security or lack of fear in the general public. Based on this reason, the ranking of the initiatives takes the following shape based on the initiatives that best guarantee public safety and lack of fear. The first through to the last component that best guarantees this safety is;

1. Collaboration and outreach
2. Research partnerships and performance measurement
3. Management of organizational change
4. Better utilization of information systems and intelligence
5. Strategic targeting

Lack of collaboration and outreach creates a disjointed society becoming the number one source of public fear. When the public is not well informed on matters, and there is no integration, then there is room for public fear to settle in (Coldren et al., 2013).
