Stratified Policing |
Sheriff’s Office Touts Statistical Policing
The Walton County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office is policing by the numbers, and the numbers indicate that this approach is effective in combating crime. The agency has developed and implemented stratified policing, an evidence-based approach to policing in the community. This model takes various policing techniques and initiatives, including hot spot policing, community policing, and intelligence-led policing, and combines them into one process to more efficiently deploy agency resources.

Human Trafficking |
SC Human Trafficking May Be More Prevalent Than Thought
Human trafficking in South Carolina may be more prevalent than previously thought, according to a study released by researchers at Clemson University. The study indicates that nearly 20 percent of past kidnapping and prostitution case files analyzed from police incident reports in Greenville County over a three-year period had markers indicating the presence of human trafficking. “Historically, human trafficking was viewed as a problem of smuggling and illegal migration, but it more recently has been seen as a problem of commercial sexual exploitation, especially of minors, and of forced labor, especially through the use of coercion or fraud,” said Mark Small, a professor in Clemson’s youth, family, and community studies department.
