Community policing is "personalized policing" that involves the
same officer patrolling the same areas on a permanent basis,
operating from a decentralized ministation and working with
citizens to identify and solve crime problems.
Despite widespread public support for police department
decentralization, permanent assignments, and the development of
citizen/police partnerships with local communities, the issue
remains a controversial one. Community policing necessarily
requires a radical transformation of what police have traditionally
done. Full adoption of community policing involves substantial
organizational change, including the leveling of the bureaucratic
hierarchy, and, unsurprisingly, there is considerable resistance to
such changes within police departments.
This book is an examination of the development of community
policing in Seattle, Washington. Exploring the processes of
legitimation, urban politics, and micro-organization, the author
shows how one police department negotiated both the internal and
external political pressures to create community policing -- and
the level of success attained.
James J. Gibson's numerous theoretical and empirical contributions
to the understanding of how people perceive were innovative,
controversial, often radical, and always profound. Many of his
ideas revolutionized the science of perception, and his influence
continued to grow throughout the world. This book, originally
published in 1982, is a collection of the most important of
Gibson's essays on the psychology of perception. Drawing from the
entire corpus of Gibson's papers, the editors have selected over
thirty works dealing with such diverse topics as ecological optics,
event perception, pictorial representation, and the conceptual
foundations of psychology. The editors' goals in preparing the
volume were twofold: first to provide easy access to Gibson's most
outstanding papers and talks, including some that were previously
unpublished; and second, to provide an intellectual biography of
Gibson by including essays from the different periods of his
career.

Edward Reed is a unique artist who delights in the old-school
masters of pin-up like Vargas, Elvgren and Petty, yet he has a
fascination for photo-realism that borders on the surreal. He has
the practised ease of an expert when it comes to real-world
airbrushing, yet has no difficulty bringing that talent to a
computer screen. Whether analogue or digital, the finished
illustration is what's important, and Reed brings outstanding style
and beauty to all his creations. His women are classic in form yet
modern in sensibility - just the right mix for a 21st Century
pin-up artist! This first collection of this works - "Portraits
& Pin-Ups", is well named, as it showcases both his serious and
fun sides to an appreciative audience. Also an in-demand
instructor, Edward has assembled a fascinating step-by-step to show
how he creates such intricate and amazing masterworks.
