Events in the United States during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s
created tectonic shifts in how the police operated. This was
especially true in terms of their relationship with society. These
events included, among others: the due process revolution, which
guided how police were to do their job; social science research
that called into question that efficacy of the professional
policing model; and race riots against police activity, which were
the result of poor police-minority community relations. This book
outlines these (and other) changes, explores their implications for
the relationship between society and the police, and suggests that
a knowledge of these changes is imperative to understanding trends
in contemporary policing as well as the direction policing needs to
take. As policing becomes more technologically savvy and scientific
in its approach to fighting crime (for example, the SMART Policing
Initiative, COMPSTAT, and problem oriented approaches such as
Project Safe Neighborhoods) in a time when governments are faced
with austerity, it is important to reconsider how policing got to
the point it is so that, as police and governments move forward,
constitutional guarantees are protected, communication with
citizens remains viable and salient, and crime prevention becomes
an empirical reality rather than a pipe-dream.
