Community Policing Evaluation
For the past two decades, IPR researchers have been evaluating Chicago's Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS), the nation's most ambitious experiment in community policing. CAPS was unveiled in April 1993 in five prototype police districts and went citywide a year later. Working papers and reports can be found below.
