      abstract = {This insightful volume examines key research questions  concerning police decision to arrest as well as police-led  diversion. The authors critically evaluate the tentative  answers that empirical evidence provides to those  questions, and suggest areas for future inquiry. Nearly  seven decades of empirical study have provided extensive  knowledge regarding police use of arrest. However, this  research highlights important gaps in our understanding of  factors that shape police decision-making and what is  required to alter current police practice. Reviewing this  research base, this brief takes stock of what is known  empirically about all aspects related to the use of  arrests, providing important insights on the knowledge  needed to make evidence-based policy decisions moving  forward. With the potential to better impact policy and  programs for alternatives to arrest, this brief will appeal  to researchers and practitioners in evidence-based policing  and police decision-making, as well as those interested in  alternatives to arrest and related fields such as public  policy. --},
