title = "Organisational Barriers to Institutional Change: The Case of Intelligence in New Zealand Policing",
abstract = "Over recent decades Intelligence-led Policing (ILP) has become a central component of the attempts by New Zealand Police (NZP) to engineer a transformative shift away from {\textquoteleft}reactive{\textquoteright} policing to more {\textquoteleft}proactive{\textquoteright} approaches to crime reduction. ILP appeared to offer an effective response to increasingly complex crime problems, an expanded {\textquoteleft}mission{\textquoteright} and growing public demand, by placing crime intelligence central to decision making. As part of an international study exploring police intelligence, we conducted 20 in-depth semi-structured interviews with Police Intelligence staff at all levels of the police hierarchy. Our findings highlight five critical barriers to implementing a successful ILP project in New Zealand. We suggest ILP has not delivered its promised effect of catalysing a major reorientation of the modes of frontline policing or its delivery and argue that this is due to the structural resilience of traditional police cultural reluctance to allow long-established practice and procedural norms to be fundamentally changed.",
