Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proactive policing involves actively seeking out potential criminal activity and taking preventive measures, such as making arrests and detaining suspicious persons. This approach has been shown to be effective in reducing crime rates in jurisdictions that practice it. Reactive policing involves responding to crimes after they have been committed, which may not deter future criminal activity. Neighborhood snitching is not a recognized policing approach.
