Summary

I begin this chapter with a brief acknowledgement of the potential benefits of hot spot policing, followed by a serious critique. The thesis of this paper is that, while the concept of hot spots policing is attractive, we should be concerned about how scholars have narrowly defined it in theory and research and how police organizations have narrowly practiced it. While recent experimental tests have improved the situation, in general, the practice of hot spots policing has failed to embody the fundamental principles of problem-oriented policing, community policing and procedural justice, which many scholars believe represent the basic pillars of “good policing” in the twenty-first century. Too often, place-based or hot spots policing fails to specify innovative strategies or tactics for police officers once they arrive at hot spots and the hot spots themselves are poorly specified. Consequently, the reliance on conventional enforcement tactics can lead to collateral damage to the community, especially people of color and those of low income.
