Download or read book Community Policing written by Nigel Fielding and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1995 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community policing seems always in vogue, yet its essential qualities remain elusive. There has been a rush to evaluate community policing before commentators have got to grips with what community police officers do which is distinctive. This book demonstrates, in detail, how community policeofficers go about such matters as gathering crime-relevant information from people in the local community, how they apply informal social control to public disorder situations, and how they 'play' the police organization itself in order to obtain resources they need and to secure their ownadvancement. However, such a brief is not sufficient in itself. The point is to use such a discussion of working practices to assess the conceptual apparatus which has been developed to understand community policing, and to evaluate the potential of community policing to achieve the objectiveswhich policy-makers have set for it. That is the agenda of this book.
Download or read book Beyond Community Policing written by James J. Chriss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Community Policing uses history and general sociological theory to examine the trajectory of municipal policing from Britain in the 1830s to its adoption and evolution in the America. By analysing the uncertain and uneven historical development of policing, this book illustrates in great detail the functional connections between cities (or communities) and police departments. Chriss also considers the development of municipal policing in the American West between 1850 and 1890, which helps to situate the current discussion of policing in the post 9/11 United States.
Download or read book Illusion of Order written by Bernard E. Harcourt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to challenge the broken-windows theory of crime, which argues that permitting minor misdemeanors, such as loitering and vagrancy, to go unpunished only encourages more serious crime. The theory has revolutionized policing in the United States and abroad, with its emphasis on policies that crack down on disorderly conduct and aggressively enforce misdemeanor laws. The problem, argues Bernard Harcourt, is that although the broken-windows theory has been around for nearly thirty years, it has never been empirically verified. Indeed, existing data suggest that it is false. Conceptually, it rests on unexamined categories of law abiders and disorderly people and of order and disorder, which have no intrinsic reality, independent of the techniques of punishment that we implement in our society. How did the new order-maintenance approach to criminal justice--a theory without solid empirical support, a theory that is conceptually flawed and results in aggressive detentions of tens of thousands of our fellow citizens--come to be one of the leading criminal justice theories embraced by progressive reformers, policymakers, and academics throughout the world? This book explores the reasons why. It also presents a new, more thoughtful vision of criminal justice.

Download or read book The Challenge of Community Policing written by Dennis P. Rosenbaum and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-04-08 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community policing has become the new orthodoxy for police in the United States, as well as in other countries around the world. Although the movement's philosophies and practices are spreading rapidly, little is known about the range of ongoing activities, the components of these experimental initiatives, the problems and challenges encountered, and the level of success in achieving objectives. Providing a clear picture of national and international trends in progressive police administration, the book explores the cutting edge of this movement with some of the best empirical studies to date. The editor has gathered together the expertise of widely recognized researchers to address the fundamental question of whether community policing is on the road to fulfilling its many promises. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the authors present a thorough evaluation of the social and organizational processes involved in planning and implementing community policing, as well as the effects of such programs.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Police and Policing written by Michael D. Reisig and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police are perhaps the most visible representation of government. They are charged with what has been characterized as an "impossible" mandate -- control and prevent crime, keep the peace, provide public services -- and do so within the constraints of democratic principles. The police are trusted to use deadly force when it is called for and are allowed access to our homes in cases of emergency. In fact, police departments are one of the few government agencies that can be mobilized by a simple phone call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are ubiquitous within our society, but their actions are often not well understood. The Oxford Handbook of Police and Policing brings together research on the development and operation of policing in the United States and elsewhere. Accomplished policing researchers Michael D. Reisig and Robert J. Kane have assembled a cast of renowned scholars to provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the institution of policing. The different sections of the Handbook explore policing contexts, strategies, authority, and issues relating to race and ethnicity. The Handbook also includes reviews of the research methodologies used by policing scholars and considerations of the factors that will ultimately shape the future of policing, thus providing persuasive insights into why and how policing has developed, what it is today, and what to expect in the future. Aimed at a wide audience of scholars and students in criminology and criminal justice, as well as police professionals, the Handbook serves as the definitive resource for information on this important institution.

This book was released on 2024-01-19 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LATERThis book about theories and concepts of Community policing. According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau ( NCRB ) data, a total number of 2,243 ‘incidents of violence by anti-national elements’, including the Northeast insurgency, jihadi terrorists, left-wing extremism, and other terrorists were reported between the years 2017–2020. Community-oriented policing (COP) focuses on roots to curb vulnerability to indigenous sources, whilst simultaneously increasing resistance towards the subversion by exogenous forces. The goal of the Constitution is to establish a democratic society. We may recall the dictum of Abraham Lincoln, who said, “No Nation can survive half slave and half free “ The expectations of the public are changing with time. There is a challenge in front of the police to meet these expectations. Community policing will go a long way in meeting the changing expectations of the public. Public opinion is depicted by the pictures inside the brains of the people. Police should have capacity to guess changing hopes of People. This is a change over a period of time. Changing attitudes of public have become visible over a period of time particularly during last decade. Uniform application of law without discrimination is a basic principle of democratic system. For this purpose, almost every country has devised a law enforcement agency called 'police’. This agency is expected to render impartial service to law. But while performing these functions, the role of police has ever remained controversial. It has been witnessed the world-over that police are more used to abuse the powers vested in them. Still people are expecting that police organization should be “people friendly police”. There should be Involvement of people in the operational work of police. It is called as community policing. It keeps them at the centre stage.

Download or read book Community Policing in America written by Jeremy M. Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although law enforcement officials have long recognized the need to cooperate with the communities they serve, recent efforts to enhance performance and maximize resources have resulted in a more strategic approach to collaboration among police, local governments, and community members. The goal of these so-called "community policing" initiatives is to prevent neighborhood crime, reduce the fear of crime, and enhance the quality of life in communities. Despite the growing national interest in and support for community policing, the factors that influence an effective implementation have been largely unexplored. Drawing on data from nearly every major U.S. municipal police force, Community Policing in America is the first comprehensive study to examine how the organizational context and structure of police organizations impact the implementation of community policing. Jeremy Wilson’s book offers a unique theoretical framework within which to consider community policing, and identifies key internal and external factors that can facilitate or impede this process, including community characteristics, geographical region, police chief turnover, and structural complexity and control. It also provides a simple tool that practitioners, policymakers, and researchers can use to measure community policing in specific police organizations.
