Abstract (2. Language): 
The effectiveness of crime prevention programs can be best understood through systematic analysis of the past studies that examined the effectiveness of crime prevention programs. The purpose of this paper was to show whether POP is effective in preventing crime and provide the most up-to-date information regarding the effectiveness of POP in crime prevention. Six of eight evaluation studies reviewed in this paper produced strong evidence that POP was an effective strategy in preventing all kinds of crime including serious violent and property crimes. Two evaluations found no positive impact of the programs on crime but these evaluations suffered from serious methodological problems. It is con- cluded that POP is an effective crime prevention strategy and should be continued to be supported.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Suç önleme programlarının etkinliği, en iyi, geçmişte yapılan ve suç önleme programlarının etkinliğini araştıran çalışmaların sistematik analizi ile anlaşılabilir. Bu makalenin amacı, bir suç önleme stratejisi olan problem odaklı polislik (POP) stratejisinin, suç önlemedeki etkinliğini değerlendirmek ve POP ile ilgili bu alanda en güncel bilgiyi okuyucuya sunmaktır. Bu makalede, POP programlarını inceleyen toplam sekiz bilimsel araştırma incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmalardan altı tanesi POP’un suçu önlemede, her türden suç için (cana ve mala karşı) etkinliği olduğuna dair güçlü bulgular sunmaktadır. Diğer iki çalışma ise, olumlu bulgular ortaya koymamıştır ancak bu çalışmaların ciddi yöntem zayıflıkları vardır. Sonuç olarak, POP etkili bir suç önleme tekniği olup, uygulanmaya ve desteklenmeye devam edilmelidir.
