Although law enforcement officials have long recognized the need to
cooperate with the communities they serve, recent efforts to
enhance performance and maximize resources have resulted in a more
strategic approach to collaboration among police, local
governments, and community members. The goal of these so-called
"community policing" initiatives is to prevent neighborhood crime,
reduce the fear of crime, and enhance the quality of life in
communities. Despite the growing national interest in and support
for community policing, the factors that influence an effective
implementation have been largely unexplored. Drawing on data from
nearly every major U.S. municipal police force, Community Policing
in America is the first comprehensive study to examine how the
organizational context and structure of police organizations impact
the implementation of community policing. Jeremy Wilson's book
offers a unique theoretical framework within which to consider
community policing, and identifies key internal and external
factors that can facilitate or impede this process, including
community characteristics, geographical region, police chief
turnover, and structural complexity and control. It also provides a
simple tool that practitioners, policymakers, and researchers can
use to measure community policing in specific police organizations.
