How should evaluations of problem-oriented policing and situational crime prevention projects be conducted? Although evaluation has been a driving force in the recent worldwide growth of the two approaches, both of which focus on reducing opportunities for committing crimes, there has been a growing consensus among researchers that evaluations of many such crime prevention programs have been unsatisfactory.
