N2  - Research has supported the effectiveness of "proactive" (Braga, Papachristos, & Hureau, 2014; Weisburd & Telep, 2014) and "reactive" (Nagin, 2013; Paternoster, 2010) policing strategies in reducing violence, but no research has combined strategies of prevention and response to explain the relationship between the police and violence. The theory proposed in this chapter demonstrates the utility of explaining the instrumental and legitimacy functions of the police across various levels and brings under-protection to the forefront of research on policing and violence.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
