Police innovation requires a common ground of trust and a fair field of experimentation and exchange of ideas, both within and outside the police structure, and, perhaps most importantly, a recognition of the common stake of the entire community in better police services.
Community Policing research is an interdisciplinary field of research that focuses on the development, use, and evaluation of policing best practices combined with Societal, Ethical, Legal & Data Privacy, Criminology and Technological Applications related to the Geographic Information Systems, Smart Apps and integrated Networks.
During NGCP conference several stimulating forums will gather people from the international Stakeholders’ community as well as well distinguished members of the academia, EU Member-States and National government, and the industry. We hereby invite academic researchers from above-mentioned disciplines, as well as other related areas in order to scientifically contribute to the NGCP conference which will take place in October 25th-27th, 2017 in Heraklion, Crete, Greece.
Research should be relevant to Community Policing and advancing policing through innovation and science, including applications focusing on Crime Prevention, Increased Response Time, and Perceptions of Safety.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
All manuscripts/papers will undergo blind peer review. The Advisory Panel, comprised of renowned academics and practitioners, will review all submissions for their suitability for conference presentations and subsequent publication.
The abstract submission should be not more than 3600 characters and 55 lines, authors’ details and headers included. This also includes non-visible characters such as spaces as well as punctuation.
