Abstract

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is perhaps the most prominent advocate for such partnerships. Problems confronting public institutions have become more complex in recent years. A number of fields and disciplines have recognized that one potential solution to address these concerns lies in the adoption of a ‘governance framework’ based on a process of shared responsibility among government institutions and stakeholders. The primary mechanism government institutions have used to foster such shared governance has been the formation of partnerships with other government agencies/entities, community members and organizations, private organizations, and academic institutions. Federal funding has provided perhaps the biggest impetus for the creation and growth of such partnerships. Agencies that had indicated participation in a research partnership were then asked to define the nature of their partnership commitment in order to differentiate between both the formality and length of such partnerships.
