'''Problem-oriented policing (POP)''', coined by [[University of Wisconsin–Madison]] professor [[Herman Goldstein]], is a policing strategy that involves the identification and analysis of specific [[crime]] and [[Civil disorder|disorder]] problems, in order to develop effective response strategies. For years,{{when|date=December 2014}} police focused on the “means” of policing rather than its “ends”, according to Goldstein. Goldstein (1979) called to replace what he termed the reactive, incident-driven “standard model of policing”.<ref>(Weisburd 2010)</ref> This approach requires police to be proactive in identifying underlying problems which can be targeted to reduce crime and disorder at their roots. Goldstein's view emphasized a [[paradigm shift]] in [[criminal law]], but also in civil statutes and the use of municipal and community resources. Goldstein's 1979 model was expanded in 1987 by John E. Eck and William Spelman into the [[Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment]] (SARA) model for problem solving.<ref name="what">[http://www.popcenter.org/about-whatisPOP.htm Center for Problem Oriented Policing] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080505220324/http://www.popcenter.org/about-whatisPOP.htm |date=2008-05-05 }} - What is POP?</ref>
