QUESTION 1
1.1 Differentiate between proactive and reactive policing, support your answer with practical
examples.
1. Proactive Policing:
- Proactive policing focuses on preventing crime through community engagement and problem-
solving strategies.
- An example of proactive policing is the implementation of community policing programs where
law enforcement officers work closely with residents to address local concerns and build trust.
2. Reactive Policing:
- Reactive policing involves responding to incidents after they occur.
- An example of reactive policing is when law enforcement officers respond to a 911 call
reporting a robbery in progress and take immediate action to address the situation.
3. Comparison:
- Proactive policing aims to prevent crime by addressing underlying issues and building
relationships within the community, while reactive policing responds to crimes as they happen.
- Proactive measures are geared towards long-term crime prevention and fostering a sense of
security, whereas reactive measures focus on addressing immediate threats to public safety.
In conclusion, proactive policing focuses on crime prevention through community involvement
and problem-solving, while reactive policing deals with incidents as they arise. Both approaches
are essential in maintaining law and order within society, with proactive measures helping to
create a safer environment and reactive measures responding to immediate needs for public
safety.

(6)
1. Explicit Service Delivery:
- Explicit service delivery refers to the direct and clearly stated provision of services to individuals or
communities. It involves the explicit communication of services being offered and how they will be
delivered. An example of explicit service delivery is a government program that clearly outlines the
services it provides, eligibility criteria, and application process. The information is straightforward
and easily accessible to the recipients.
2. Implicit Service Delivery:
