Opis

Community policing is a recent and, to some, controversial approach to combating crime, particularly in larger urban areas. This book is a comprehensive examination of the implementation of community policing in the United States. It examines the influence of the task and institutional environment on community policing implementation and investigates the relationships between organizational structure and community policing. Key contributions of this work include: providing a theoretical framework for community policing; identifies internal/external factors that facilitate and/or impeded implementation; examining organizational structure and implantation.
