This book describes the experiences of law enforcement agencies in three Mid-Missouri communities and their efforts to adapt to their changing demographics while maintaining current relations with the majority population. The findings reveal that the relationship between law enforcement and the majority communities was positive and supportive. There were several challenges, however, to the development of a cooperative police-Latino relationship. These included the language barrier, fear of the police, immigration issues and the nature of contacts between the police and Latino community.Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Police-community relationsMissouriLatin AmericansMissouriSocial conditionsMissouriEmigration and immigrationMissouriEthnic relationsLatin AmericaEmigration and immigrationPolice-community relationsLatin AmericansSocial conditions.659.2/93632/089680778Culver Leigh1971-1869977MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960989803321Adapting police services to new immigration4478271UNINA
