Assignment : SARA Model

Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) found its origins in the work of Herman Goldstein, a police scholar. POP's application has been tied to current practices in crime reduction strategies among police agencies throughout the United States and the world. A key element of POP (the problem-solving process) is the Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment (SARA) Model.

On the basis of your understanding about the SARA Model, please share your responses for Part 1 and Part 2 of the assignment.

Part 1

1. Discuss the SARA Model of POP and explain how it works.

2. Provide examples of each element of the SARA Model. Each of the four elements of the SARA Model has at least five different techniques or methods related to problem solving. Select two techniques or methods from each element and explain why you believe these are important for each element.
