In modern industrial societies, the demand for policing services
frequently exceeds the current and foreseeable availability of
public policing resources. Conversely, developing nations often
suffer from an inability to provide a basic level of security for
their citizens. Community Policing and Peacekeeping offers a fresh
overview of the challenges of community policing in advanced
societies and peacekeeping in weak nations, demonstrating how going
beyond traditional models of police work can provide solutions in
troubled communities. Responding to the needs of the community
Featuring contributions from world-class scholars, this volume
emphasizes the importance of cultural and political sensitivities
in police work. Offering comparative perspectives from the United
Kingdom, Australia, the United States, South Africa, and China, it
explores the paradigm of community policing that involves
consultation with community members, responsiveness to their
security needs, collective problem-solving to identify the most
appropriate means of meeting these needs, and mobilization of
police services. Exploring the challenges and pitfalls of these
collaborative efforts, the book examines how traditional models of
police work have evolved to embrace the needs of communities.
Keeping peace at home and abroad The second part of the book
focuses on police peacekeeping efforts in countries torn apart by
civil strife. It includes chapters on police collaboration with the
United Nations, Australian and Canadian efforts abroad, CIVPOL
(civilian police peace operations), and programs in Papua New
Guinea and Cambodia. The book shows how expanding the role of the
police beyond the limits of fighting crime can help contribute to
safer, more stable communities.
