Police-Community Coproduction. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 160
Research in the fields of criminology and sociology
has examined the role of communities in public
safety and crime control. These studies have
demonstrated that socially organized communities are
more capable of exerting control over their local
environments and producing more favorable outcomes
for residents. At the same time, advocates of
community policing have argued that this reform can
positively contribute to the social organization of
communities. This has lead some to argue that
community policing may indirectly produce positive
outcomes through its impact on the social
organization of neighborhoods. This book relies on
interviews with neighborhood leaders to explore the
capacity of police and residents to improve
neighborhoods. Several models for understanding the
relationship between community policing and
neighborhood social organization are provided. This
book is designed to supply scholars, police
officials, and neighborhood leaders
with greater insight into the relationship and
capacity that exists between police and neighborhood
residents.
