DESCRIPTION:Moynihan Institute's program for the Study of Global Politics w
 elcomes&nbsp\;Graeme Blair from UCLA.Is it possible to reduce crime withou
 t exacerbating adversarial relationships between police and citizens? Comm
 unity policing is a celebrated reform with that aim\, now adopted on every
  continent. Yet\, the evidence base is limited\, studying reform component
 s in isolation in a limited set of countries\, and largely silent on citiz
 en-police trust. We designed six field experiments with Global South polic
 e agencies to study locally designed models of community policing\, with c
 oordinated measures of crime and the attitudes and behaviors of citizens a
 nd police. In a preregistered meta-analysis\, we find that these intervent
 ions led to mixed implementation\, largely failed to improve citizen-polic
 e relations\, and do not reduce crime. Structural changes may be required 
 for incremental police reforms such as community policing to succeed.Blair
  is an associate professor of political science. He serves as the co-direc
 tor of methods and trainings at Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP)
