| Abstract | Reforms were implemented at five selected police stations in Trinidad and Tobago. The reforms were designed to improve the services delivered by police stations, to reduce crime, and to increase public confidence in the police. The intervention involved improving police facilities, vehicles, and equipment, and enhancing station staffing, training, and technical assistance to improve basic police work and station management/supervision. It introduced service-oriented, problem-solving approaches to replace the traditional colonial and post-colonial models of policing.The evaluation of this intervention used a quasi-experimental comparison group design that included five comparison stations matched to the five model stations on crime and disorder. Face-to-face surveys were conducted with adults residing in the communities served by the model and comparison stations. Probability sampling of households was used to identify respondents. There were two waves of measurement, one before the start of the intervention and another one year later.Statistically significant results in the predicted direction were observed for five of 14 outcomes expected to changes as a result of the reforms: (a) customer orientation, (b) effective control of crime/gangs, (c) fear of crime, (d) perception of the crime problem in the neighborhood, and (e) perception of crime as the biggest problem in the community.The pattern of results is suggestive, albeit weakly so, that the reforms of the model stations initiative had positive effects. Furthermore, results were larger at stations with better implementation of the reforms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
