PCJ Hosts Workshop in Ethiopia on Measuring Community Policing

Indicators in Development: Safety and Justice

Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management (PCJ) Fellows and Researcher Mila Cerecina, Andres Rengifo, and Zinzi Bailey traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia late last month at the invitation of the Ethiopian Federal Police to conduct a special Workshop on Measuring Community Policing. This workshop was designed to bring together researchers from police commissions around Ethiopia to discuss the purposes of community policing and to strengthen their existing efforts to incorporate measures of community perceptions and experiences into the management and measurement of policing activities.

Learn more about our work in Ethiopia, as well as the PCJ's Indicators in Development: Safety and Justice project.
