Returning Home? Conditions in Syria, Not Lebanon, Drive the Return Intentions of Syrian Refugees
[link removed]
Researchers: Ala' Alrababa'h, Marine Casalis, Dominik Hangartner, Daniel Masterson, Jeremy Weinstein, and Nasser Yassin
The civil war in Syria caused large-scale forced displacement, both within Syria and to neighboring countries. What factors determine whether Syrians return home? With support from IPA’s Peace & Recovery Program, researchers from the Immigration Policy Lab conducted a representative survey of over 3,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon from August-October 2019 to learn about their return intentions. The survey found that a majority wanted to return at some point in the future but thought it was too soon to go back within the next few years, and that refugees’ plans and aspirations to return are largely shaped by the situation in Syria and less so by the conditions in the host country.

FEATURED STUDY
The Impact of Community Policing on Citizen Trust, Police Performance, and Crime in Uganda
[link removed]
Researchers: Robert Blair, Guy Grossman, and Anna Wilke

Community policing, which aims to create opportunities for positive, mutually respectful interactions between civilians and the police, may increase citizen trust and enhance the ability of police to enforce the law, but little evidence has existed on this model outside of the U.S. and other developed countries. As part of a six-country initiative to generate generalizable findings on community policing in developing countries, researchers measured the impact of community policing in Uganda on trust in the police, citizen cooperation with the police, and crime and violence rates. Overall, the study found that the community policing program had no impact on the incidence of crime, perceptions of the police, or trust in police. While crime reporting and knowledge increased, the community policing program also appears to have increased police misbehavior, especially with regard to bribe-seeking and corruption.
