Abstract
Finally, in Chap. 5, we explore the future of police pursuits research and policy, reviewing what we have covered throughout the book. We discuss the benefits of an evidence-based approach to pursuits, including more analysis and evaluation research on pursuits and pursuit tactics, improved and national data collection, and greater examination of pursuits policies as important steps forward in this policy arena.
