Indigenous communities are typically those that challenge the laws
of the nation states of which they have become-often very
reluctantly-a part. Around the world, community policing has
emerged in many of these regions as a product of their physical
environments and cultures. Through a series of case studies,
Community Policing in Indigenous Communities explores how these
often deeply divided societies operate under the community policing
paradigm. Drawing on the local expertise of policing practitioners
and researchers across the globe, the book explores several themes
with regard to each region: How community policing originated or
evolved in the community and how it has changed over time The type
of policing style used-whether informal or formal and uniformed or
non-uniformed, whether partnerships are developed with local
community organizations or businesses, and the extent of covert
operations, if any The role played by community policing in the
region, including the relative emphasis of calls for service, the
extent to which advice and help is offered to citizens, whether
local records are kept of citizen movement and locations, and
investigation and arrest procedures The community's special
cultural or indigenous attributes that set it apart from other
models of community policing Organizational attributes, including
status in the "hierarchy of control" within the regional or
national organization of policing The positive and negative
features of community policing as it is practiced in the community
Its effectiveness in reducing and or preventing crime and disorder
The book demonstrates that community policing cannot be imposed
from above without grassroots input from local citizens. It is a
strategy-not simply for policing with consent-but for policing in
contexts where there is often little, if any, consent. It is an
aspirational practice aimed to help police and communities within
contested contexts to recognize that positive gains can be made,
enabling communities to live in relative safety.
