abstract="With the possible exception of the role biology plays in criminal behavior, few debates in criminology seem to get under scholars' skin more then the question of whether- or perhaps to what extent- the police matter and it comes to controlling crime. The most recent incarnation of the police-crime debate is that between Megan, Solow, and Lum (2015) and Pickett and Roche (2016). This debate is complex and the field will undoubtedly benefit substantially as we all wrestlewith how this group of accomplished scholaars are themselves thinkint about this issue.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
