In recent years, county and city police departments have taken a greater responsibility on planning crime prevention strategy in order to implement tailor made crime prevention practices that suit local crime problems. Many police departments have dedicated on analyzing local crime incidents and designing the prevention practices. Taipei City Police Department is no exception. In fact, in addition to the characters and culture of organization and policy makers, rank and file officer’s concept, cognition, and attitude towards crime prevention are also crucial on successful crime prevention practices. In the past, the police viewed crime prevention as “not real police work” mainly because they simply doubted that crime prevention would work. However, the police skepticism on crime prevention has been challenged by new evidence. The current research aims to: interviews officers in Taipei and explain their cognition and experience of crime prevention, to compare domestic data with existing literature on the effectiveness of crime prevention, and to interpret crime prevention work by the police from a new perspective.
