The 22nd Annual Meeting of the International Police Executive
Symposium was held in August 2012 at the United Nations Plaza in
New York. Chaired by Dr. Garth den Heyer, the symposium focused on
the links between economic development, armed violence, and public
safety. Drawn from these proceedings, Economic Development, Crime,
and Policing: Global Perspectives presents the insight of police
leaders and researchers from a number of countries. They provide
worldwide perspectives and case studies about the complex
interrelations and influence of these issues on police practice in
developed, developing, and transitioning countries. Topics include:
Youth violence in society Economic downturn and global crime trends
Restorative justice and recidivism Community-based policing
Investigation techniques applied to financial crimes Policing gang
violence Implementation of the rule of law in postconflict
countries Policing transportation infrastructures The book
organizes these topics according to regional perspectives (global,
modern democracies, emerging democracies, and newly industrialized
countries). It highlights ongoing response efforts related to
challenges facing the police in emerging or newly democratized
states. The book concludes with a comprehensive review of the
fundamental elements of police reform and explores how such changes
might affect society. It discusses the role of society in reforming
police systems and suggests new directions for this broad research
agenda. This book is a co-publication with the International Police
Executive Symposium.
Exploring the complex and controversial topic of civilian oversight
of police, this book analyzes the issues and debates entailed by
civilian oversight by using worldwide perspectives, in-depth case
studies, and a wealth of survey data. Integrating and summarizing
decades of research from many locations around the globe, Civilian
Oversight of Police: Advancing Accountability in Law Enforcement
uses a very clear and consistent pattern of findings to address the
overall management of police conduct. The book examines the history
and performance of oversight agencies in multiple jurisdictions
around the world. The evidence used includes: Citizen, complainant,
and police views on oversight Stakeholder experiences with
different types of responses to complaints Data about police
conduct Emphasizing the concept of shared responsibility for
effective police integrity management, the book discusses what does
and does not work in maximizing police management and performance.
It presents a best practices model for managing police conduct and
describes the impact of oversight agencies on police policy,
including innovative means by which agencies can work with police
departments to improve police conduct. Civilian Oversight of Police
provides a critical resource on police conduct for professionals as
well as academics. It makes practical recommendations for achieving
a "win-win" balance in addressing the needs and interests of all
parties involved with the police complaints and accountability
process. It also marks a starting point to stimulate further
research as well as increased collaboration between researchers and
practitioners to enhance the stock of knowledge for effective
police integrity management and democratic accountability.
This book addresses the various strategies that are available to
police management, such as consolidation, regionalization, and
amalgamation of police agencies; new public management (NPM);
enhanced performance management; civilianization; and
organizational restructuring. It fills the gap in the research as
to how police agencies have reacted to the environmental and fiscal
changes since the 1980s. The book examines the strategies employed
and the effect on police and their delivery of service.
Contemporary police service delivery and performance are complex
phenomena. Law enforcement, particularly at the local level, must
therefore face the additional challenges of globalization,
cybercrime, counter-terrorism and calls for reform, at a time when
extreme budgetary constraints are being implemented. Policing
operations encompass multiple critical tasks and responsibilities
not routinely measured and evaluated, such as response to incidents
involving medical assistance, homelessness, mental illness,
community engagement, and neighborhood problem-solving endeavors.
This volume aims to provide government, criminal justice and
policing administrators, policy makers and criminal justice
scholars and researchers with comprehensive analyses of the
critical issues impacting the challenges inherent in providing
effectual public safety, security and service, all from a global
perspective. It takes into account popular criticism, extreme
budgetary constraints, and the relatively novel and overwhelming
challenges of terrorism and cybercrime. The book merges study and
practice to identify avenues to best serve community interests,
ensure organizational success, and enhance public confidence in
policing and in rule of law.
This edited volume examines the experiences and the roles of the
police deployed on peacekeeping and intervention missions in
Afghanistan, Bougainville, Cyprus, Haiti, Kosovo, Namibia, Solomon
Islands, Timor Leste, and Ukraine. Despite the extensive literature
that has examined the role of the military in peacekeeping and
intervention operations, little literature or information that
investigates the role and the work of the police or the methods
that they use to assist in the reformation of local police is
available. This book provides an overview of the history and role
of the police in peacekeeping missions, and discusses the principle
factors of police reform and development in post-conflict nations.
It includes case studies assessing the background of the conflict
and the police deployments, as well as their role, contributions,
and achievements. Including two in-depth surveys of police officer
experiences on peacekeeping missions, this volume will be of great
value to policing researchers and law enforcement leadership,
police historians, and students and researchers of post-conflict
development.
This book is a study of the response that the police take to modern
urban riots. It takes a principally police perspective on the
lead-up to a riot, the police response, and the evaluation of the
police response. The book is based on the development and analysis
of four extensive case study riots: France 2005, London 2011,
Ferguson 2014, and Baltimore 2015. The methodological approach to
the case studies is comparative and includes an interactive
framework that incorporates a number of key variables. These
variables examine how each riot began, how they developed, the
response strategies and tactics used by the police, and how the
riots eventually ended. The first section looks at defining riots
and examines the riot literature and research to date. The second
section analyses the current police response to rioting. The third
and final section includes an analysis and comparison of the case
study riots, along with an examination of how the police response
to riots could be improved. With its focus on police practices,
this unique volume will be useful for researchers, students,
police, law enforcement, and policy makers.

This volume provides a comprehensive examination and analysis of
the concepts and issues related to police use of force,
particularly the use of deadly force with a firearm, from
multi-faceted and international perspectives. It explores
innovative training, protocols, policies, tactical options for
de-escalation, and recommendations for the restriction of the use
of force by law enforcement officers in an effort to reduce the
likelihood of injury to police, the pubic and criminal suspects.
Additionally, it outlines tactics for effective crowd control at
demonstrations and during riots. This book specifically delineates
practical policy implications suggested from highly recognized
professionals with extensive experience in policing, training and
related research. It is ideal for graduate and upper level
undergraduate students, scholars, academics, researchers,
government and community leaders, and criminal justice and law
enforcement administrators and policy makers.
The volume aims to increase knowledge and understanding of how
evidence-based policing is being adopted and implemented by police
agencies in the United States and whether it is affecting the
agencies' processes, strategies, community relationships and
delivery of community-oriented policing services. This exploration
is based on data drawn from the literature, interviews and
extensive field research that resulted in the case studies
presented and discussed in the book. The goal of this text will be
to provide the reader with a thorough analysis of the concepts,
arguments and challenges facing evidence-based policing. The
history of evidence-based policing, how evidence-based practices
are used in the health and social sectors, and in the United
Kingdom will be examined. In addition, reasonable options for
improving the use of evidence-based policing will be proposed.
Overall, very practical policy implications will be outlined by a
highly recognized professional who has considerable experience in
policing and related research.

This book examines the contemporary rise in community violence
across the United States and globally from sociological and
criminological perspectives. It comprehensively investigates police
response to criminal incidents, engagements with criminal suspects,
use of force by law enforcement, and crime control measures
implemented or recommended to initiate effective crime control
measures so that the unwanted rise of violence and serious crime
can again be contained. The primary audience for the book will be
upper level undergraduate and graduate level students, criminal
justice and law enforcement practitioners, government policy
makers, community advocates, and researchers in sociology,
criminology, homeland security, criminal justice, public
administration, and political science.
This brief offers an overview of the prevailing debates in police
oversight and accountability through an analysis of policing in
Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan. It places emphasis on three major
controversies of oversight: professionalism, representation, and
empowerment. Arguing that traditional models do not accurately
depict variations in police systems in Asia, the volume aims to
bring attention to the implementation of these three concepts and
clearly articulate the power relationship within these Asian police
oversight mechanisms. This brief will be a useful resource for
researchers in policing as well as criminologists, political
scientists, and sociologists, particularly those specializing in
East Asia.

This insightful book examines the allegations against the
professionalism, transparency, and integrity of law enforcement
toward minority groups, from a global perspective. It addresses the
challenges inherent in maintaining strong ties with members of the
community, and draws attention to obstacles in ensuring public
confidence and trust in rule of law institutions. Most importantly,
the book provides insight into mechanisms and proposals for policy
reform that would permit enhanced police-community partnership,
collaboration and mutual respect. Acknowledging the consistency of
this concern despite geographic location, ethnic diversity, and
religious tolerance, this book considers controversial factors that
have caused many groups and individuals to question their
relationship with law enforcement. The book examines the context of
police-community relations with contributed research from Nigeria,
South Africa, Kosovo, Turkey, New Zealand, Mexico, Scandinavia and
other North American and European viewpoints. It evaluates the
roles that critical factors such as ethnicity, political
instability, conflict, colonization, mental health, police
practice, religion, critical criminology, socialism, and many other
important aspects and concepts have played on perceptions of
policing and rule of law. A valuable resource for law enforcement
practitioners and researchers, policy makers, and students of
criminal justice, Policing and Minority Communities: Contemporary
Issues and Global Perspectives confronts crucial challenges and
controversies in policing today with quantitative and qualitative
research and practical policy recommendations.

Despite the extensive amount of literature that has examined the
role of the military in peacekeeping and intervention operations,
there is little literature or information available that
investigates the role and the work of the civilian police, or the
methods they use to assist in the reformation of local police.
While the inclusion of police in peacekeeping missions is an
accepted mantra by both academia and practitioners, the role of
police in peacekeeping missions is not well understood by policy
and decision makers. Civilian police were first deployed by the
United Nations more than 50 years ago. After a lull of
approximately two decades, the number of civilian police on
peacekeeping operations increased from 1,677 officers in 1994 to
more than 10,000 officers in 2009. The role of civilian police has
continued to broaden from one of monitoring general elections and
providing training and basic security to one of patrolling and
developing local police capacity. Police reform is acknowledged as
a crucial element when establishing a sense of security and when
developing a post-conflict nation. While the principles and
practices of capacity development can be applied in most
development assistance programs, there are some additional
challenges to developing or rebuilding police capacity in weak,
post-conflict or failed countries. The major governance problem
experienced in peacekeeping missions is the use of Western
democratic policing models, ideologies, and technologies by
international policing deployments. When using Western democratic
policing models, members of international police usually fail to
take into account the local context and culture. Using Western
forms of policing raises a number of theoretical and practical
questions about imposing such models on post-conflict nations. The
imposition of Western models also raises questions about (a) the
changing role of the nation-state (Garland, 1996), (b) the
governance of intervention or reform policing, and (c) the growing
use of the police as modes and models of social and state
governance (Bayley and Shearing, 2001). The purpose of this book is
to understand the role that police play in the post-conflict
context, especially in regard to reforming local police. Through
the examination of 23 United Nations and European Union
peacekeeping missions that took place between 1999 and 2007, this
study develops responsive operational tools and policies that will
support the effective use of deployed police in their delivery of
service and in developing the capacity of local police. The
analysis of these operational tools and policies lead to the
designing of a generic police peacekeeping model for future
peacekeeping or reform missions. The police peacekeeping model
consists of a number of dynamic components that take account of
flexibility and local culture. Included in the model's components
are the implementation of a pre-deployment planning phase and the
necessity of objectives and evaluation. It is intended that this
study will assist in improving peace-building outcomes by
increasing post-conflict security, stability, and development.
Traditionally, police agencies have allocated resources in response
to their operational demands or requirements, with the majority of
resources being distributed in response to political demands and to
public calls for service. This study examines this issue through
the presentation of two quantitative econometric methods,
simultaneous linear regression and multivariate analysis based on
New Zealand social data. Three econometric models are applied to
the fifty New Zealand Police Areas for the period 1997 to 2002. The
results from the application of the three models are compared with
the actual number of police officers, level of crime and resolution
rate over this period. The difference between the actual figures
and those suggested by the models is the basis for investigating
Police Area effectiveness. The relationships between the three
models, the socio-variables and the Police Areas are explored and
analysed further by using five multivariate analysis methods to
investigate service delivery effectiveness.
This book addresses the various strategies that are available to
police management, such as consolidation, regionalization, and
amalgamation of police agencies; new public management (NPM);
enhanced performance management; civilianization; and
organizational restructuring. It fills the gap in the research as
to how police agencies have reacted to the environmental and fiscal
changes since the 1980s. The book examines the strategies employed
and the effect on police and their delivery of service.
