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.
