For the purpose of this study, proactive policing was defined as all policing strat- egies that have as one of their goals the prevention or reduction of crime and dis- order and that are not reactive in terms of focusing primarily on uncovering ongoing crime or on investigating or responding to crimes once they have occurred (p. 1). The study was carried out by the Committee on Proactive Policing: Effects on Crime, Communities and Civil Liberties (hereinafter the Committee), chaired by David Weisburd and directed by Malay K. Majmundar. It was appointed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine following a request from the National Institute of Justice and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. The Committee included 15 prominent scholars from various disciplines, ranging from criminology, law and psychology to statis- tics, political science and economics, and two distinguished police practitioners. The Committee's work over a two-year period resulted in a thorough report of al- most 400 pages (published in 2018), which provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of what proactive policing is and what it does. * Tal Jonathan-Zamir and Gali Perry, Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
