The Panda Crime Reduction Model
Jerry H. Ratcliffe · 2018
This short chapter introduces the PANDA model and explains (through a medical analogy) how it differs from traditional policing practice with regard to crime fighting. The need for the model is explained and then I describe why checklists and memory aids are used throughout the book and the PANDA model. A brief introduction to the model follows. Because it has its origins in the 3-i intelligence-led policing and the SARA problem-solving models, it can be applied to a wide range of problems, and not just crime and disorder issues. The PANDA model is articulated in greater detail in the chapters that follow, but for now the chapter concludes with a graphic of the model and a bullet point summary of the key points.
