The Problem Solving Process



N.B Material for this section is taken with permission from the document edited by David Powell, Information Guide & Pre-Read. A Collective Approach to Problem Solving (2002). Home Office, Centrex & Nottinghamshire Police.

The problem solving approach is based on a clear identification of the source of a persistent recurring problem and the targeting of resources to provide long-term, sustainable solutions to the problems, rather than a short-term "quick fix". The SARA model has been developed by researchers as a simple problem solving model that can help in addressing any crime or disorder problem. SARA stands for Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment, and these terms describe the four key stages in the problem solving process.
