“…Intelligence-led policing (ILP), first implemented in the early 1990s primarily in the UK, is a proactive approach to policing intended to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of police organizations. It was introduced in the UK alongside the National Intelligence Model as part of the 'reimagining policing' discourse (Burcher, 2020;NCIS, 2000;Ratcliffe, 2003), in an attempt to overcome the limitations of traditional reactive policing methods (Carter et al, 2014;Collier, 2006;Ratcliffe, 2003Ratcliffe, , 2016 and address the challenges posed by, among others, organized crime, technological developments, and outdated police infrastructures.…”

Intelligence-led policing (ILP) was introduced in the 1990s as a proactive approach to policing, but to date, there is a lack of studies that have synthesized and summarized the central characteristics and insights of (quasi-)experimental studies related to ILP. This study aims to address this gap by synthesizing and characterizing the central characteristics of 38 quasi-experimental and experimental studies related to ILP. In this study, a scoping review is conducted on different quasi-experimental and experimental studies that relate to the framework of ILP. It was found that most studies within the domain of ILP focus on testing the crime reduction effects of using spatio-temporal crime intelligence to deploy police resources more efficiently and effectively. However, some studies have combined different types of crime intelligence or used solely offender-related intelligence. Several statistical-methodological challenges were also identified that should be considered when designing experimental research within the domain of ILP. Additionally, most studies focused solely on measuring crime reduction, with few focusing on secondary effects of interventions. The review concludes that future evaluation studies should consider evaluating the use of different types of crime intelligence and establish specific, objective, and realistic criteria for measuring specific performance measures such as crime disruption. Future experimental research within the domain of ILP should consider applying the 3-i model, evaluating each leg of ILP thoroughly. The limitations of the study are also discussed. This review provides valuable insights for future research and development of ILP-related approaches.
