Perceptions of the policing and crime mapping ‘Trailblazers’
Home Office Research Report 67 examines five ‘Trailblazer’ initiatives which aimed to provide the public with further information on policing and criminal justice.
The research involved interviews with key staff involved and focus groups with members of the public to explore their views and opinions on the initiatives.
