Overview
Community policing continues to be of great interest to policy makers, scholars and, of course, local police agencies. Successfully achieving the transformation from a traditional policing model to community policing can be difficult. This book aims to illuminate the path to make that change as easy as possible. Morash and Ford have produced a contributed anthology with original articles from a variety of well-known researchers, police trainers and leaders.
Synopsis
A textbook for graduate and undergraduate courses on contemporary issues in policing, emerging from an extended program at Michigan State University's School of Criminal Justice to help police departments implement community policing approaches. The 14 studies look at developing data-driven systems, changing the police culture, creating partnerships, and dealing with ongoing challenges. Annotation c.
