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. 410 0$aCriminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aPolice-community relations$zMissouri 606 $aLatin Americans$zMissouri$xSocial conditions 607 $aMissouri$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aMissouri$xEthnic relations 607 $aLatin America$xEmigration and immigration 615 0$aPolice-community relations 615 0$aLatin Americans$xSocial conditions. 676 $a659.2/93632/089680778 700 $aCulver$b Leigh$f1971-$01869977 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960989803321 996 $aAdapting police services to new immigration$94478271 997 $aUNINA
