A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

The second edition of Community-Oriented Policing: A Systemic Approach to Policing reviews the development of community-oriented policing over the last two decades of the twentieth century and explores the future of this innovative approach to policing for the twenty-first century. It continues to combine the philosophical aspects with the experiential implementation of community-oriented policing, in order to derive a balance between theory and practice. It is intended for professors, students, and police practitioners interested in this progressive approach to policing.

New to the Second Edition:

• A new chapter titled "Comparative Community-Oriented Policing" that explores the concepts of community-oriented policing and how they have been adapted in other countries including Canada, Britain, and Japan.
• A new chapter titled "The Federal Role in Community-Oriented Policing" that explores the Crime Bill of 1994 and the "100,000 COPS" initiative by the Department of Justice's Office of Community-Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and how this has affected community-oriented policing throughout the Nation.
• Updated research, practical applications, and case studies.
• Updated "COP in Action" boxes that provide examples of the practical applications of community-oriented policing.
