Write an opinion on whether you think that police patrol is effective or is not effective police strategy in an Australian context. This opinion should be between 200 and 300 words in length (exclusive of references) and should use academic sources to support your argument. You should at the very least cite examples from the Drew and Prenzler (2015) Chapter 4 or Taylor, Koper and Woods (2011).
