Publisher's Synopsis
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.
They focus on:
- Recent research for developing data systems to shape police reform
- Changing the police culture to implement community policing
- Creating partnership strategies within police organizations and between police and community groups for successful community policing
- Anticipating future challenges
