The ACT police are evaluating the effectiveness of the policing strategies in reducing and preventing alcohol-related violence in licensed premises and entertainment precincts in the ACT.

Such as adopting the following theory:
- 'Broken Windows' policing tactic has shown a decrease of violence street crimes in NY (over 60,000 crimes prevented) (Kelling 2001).
Due to the police showing efforts in street crime such as theft and drugs, there has also been a reduced rate of cocaine use leading towards the decrease of socioeconomic disadvantage among youth.

This 'broken windows' theory has been spoken of before in other units such as 'People, Place and Social Difference'.

I agree with this article as the NY police have adopted a form of community policing, focusing on building the relationship between the police and citizen, resulting in rapport.

The Australian Federal Police have co-ordinated a specific team called the Family Violence Team in 2003, where they first conducted their first report.
Through this report, they were able to obtain incidents that have occurred and be able to determine certain trends and clearer understanding that the Police Force is able to use their time effectively.

This study estimates that there are about 25,000 private investigators in Australia and explores the nature of their work, based on 40 in depth interviews in Queensland and New South Wales. The study examines the kinds of work done by private agents, how effective they are, the legal and ethical issues involved, the issue of regulation and training, and how the benefits of private agents can be maximised by their clients, most notably agencies affected by fraud. Overall, the study finds that private investigators, process servers and debt recovery agents occupy a critical place in the justice system.
