Strategies for Community Policing - Tapa blanda

Appropriate as a supplemental text for undergraduate and graduate students in courses on Community Policing, Police Administration, Contemporary Law Enforcement, and related courses. Presents a comprehensive, real-world guide to implementing community policing, particularly in medium-sized and larger municipal police departments. It provides an in-depth understanding of the concept of community and its relationship to policing practices.

Strategies for Community Policing is a comprehensive treatment of the procedures involved in transforming a conventional, traditionally-organized municipal police department into a community policing agency. With thorough attention to both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject, co-authors Elizabeth M. Watson, Alfred R. Stone, and Stuart M. DeLuca describe the steps from the initial development of a community policing concept to the evaluation of ongoing community policing implementations.
