Community Policing (eBook, ePUB)

International Patterns and Comparative Perspectives

Produktbeschreibung

Bringing together the research of anthropologists and criminologists, this volume explores the concept of community policing from a world-wide perspective. International experts provide case studies from a variety of communities that purport to espouse community policing. The book asserts that there is no consensual view of community policing, as each culture's philosophy is shaped by existing social and cultural traditions and structures, conventional methods already in place, the cultural and ideological language that sustains these practices, the efforts of entrepreneurs to argue for or against new ways of policing, and the social capital base found in the society.
