Sommario/riassunto

Originating during police reform efforts of the 1970s, the philosophy of community policing is currently widespread. What sorts of collaborative partnerships have evolved between policing agencies and the individuals and communities they serve? How do police departments engage in systematic examination of identified problems to develop effective responses? How have police departments aligned their organizational structures to best support community partnerships and proactive problem solving? Just how effective have efforts at community policing been? These questions and more are explored in this new reference work.
