 Question 1

1.1. Differentiate between direct and indirect policing.

Direct Policing refers to law enforcement activities where police officers are physically present and
actively engaging with the public in real-time. The officers are visibly on patrol, investigating crimes,
responding to incidents, and interacting with citizens. It is characterized by the direct involvement of
law enforcement in crime prevention and control.

Indirect Policing, on the other hand, involves law enforcement strategies that do not require constant
physical presence or active interaction with the public. Instead, it may rely on surveillance
technologies (e.g., CCTV cameras, drones), community involvement, and partnerships with other
organizations, such as private security companies, to monitor and prevent crime without constant
direct engagement by law enforcement officers.

Key Differences:

Physical Presence:
 Direct policing requires the physical presence of officers (e.g., patrolling or responding to
crimes).
 Indirect policing may use technologies or other resources to monitor areas without constant
police presence.

Crime Prevention:
 Direct policing often involves immediate intervention in crimes or potential crimes through
arrests or patrolling.
 Indirect policing uses tools like surveillance cameras, community watch programs, or
intelligence gathering to detect crime and prevent it from happening.

Community Interaction:
 Direct policing involves face-to-face interactions with the community, such as when officers
respond to calls or conduct interviews.
 Indirect policing involves less direct interaction, instead relying on indirect methods such as
information sharing or partnerships with community groups.

Response Time:
 In direct policing, law enforcement's response is immediate as officers are already on-site or
nearby.
 Indirect policing may delay response time as it depends on detecting crimes through
surveillance or other methods and then deploying officers.

Resource Usage:
 Direct policing requires more human resources, as officers need to be physically present in
various locations.
