Police Quarterly (PQ)

Police Quarterly is a prestigious peer‑reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research on police science, law enforcement policy, and the practice of policing. Established in 1998, the journal has become an influential forum for empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and critical reviews that deepen scholarly understanding and inform evidence‑based policing practices. Its scope encompasses both quantitative and qualitative research that addresses a wide array of policing issues, ranging from police‑community relationships and organizational behavior within police agencies to crime prevention strategies, use of force, ethical dilemmas, and the impact of legal and social policy on law enforcement outcomes. Police Quarterly is known for its rigorous methodological standards and its emphasis on studies that contribute to policy‑oriented insights of interest to both academic researchers and policing practitioners. The journal is published by SAGE Publications in association with the Police Executive Research Forum and the Police Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, reflecting its mission to link academic scholarship with practical relevance for law enforcement professionals. Topics frequently addressed include organizational reform, evidence‑based policing interventions, community policing effectiveness, officer wellness and training, civil liberties issues, crime trends, and technological innovations in policing. Police Quarterly continues to serve as an essential resource for policymakers, police leaders, and criminal justice scholars seeking to understand and improve the practice and principles of modern policing.
