How can police remain effective and vital in an era of
unprecedented technological advances, access to information, and
the global transformation of crime? Written by a long-serving
officer, Canadian Policing in the 21st Century offers a rare look
at street-level police work and the hidden culture behind the
badge. Robert Chrismas shares experiences from his years of service
to highlight areas where police can more effectively enforce laws
and improve relations with the communities they serve. He proposes
tactics for addressing widespread social issues such as gang and
domestic violence and strategies for cooperating in international
networks tackling human trafficking, internet-based child
exploitation, organized crime, and terrorism. Chrismas stresses how
changing demographics related to age, gender and racial diversity,
and increased dangers and demands, require intensified training and
higher education in policing. He highlights the need for more
effective collaborative relationships between police and local,
provincial, and federal governments, non-government agencies, and
their communities. While the principles and goals of policing
remain largely unchanged, police challenges, tools, and strategies
have evolved dramatically. Chrismas's vantage point as an officer
and a scholar provides an illuminating account of the Canadian
justice system, and road-maps to future success.
Sexual exploitation and human sex trafficking is a
multi-billion-dollar international industry that preys on youth.
Written by veteran police officer Robert Chrismas, Sex Industry
Slavery is an impactful read for anyone who wants to know more
about this serious Canadian problem. Many young women are coerced
into oppressive relationships in the sex industry, often starting
in childhood. There are numerous barriers and challenges for
children who are vulnerable to exploitation as well as for
survivors striving to leave the sex industry; however, there are
also many opportunities to help them. Based on Chrismas's
award-winning research in Manitoba, this book includes
gut-wrenching stories from survivors, social workers, police
officers, lawmakers, and activists. Representing decades of
collective knowledge, Sex Industry Slavery presents first-hand
perspectives on the problem and proposes practical solutions.
This book serves as an important link between conflict resolution
practice and education by providing research from the unique
perspective and approach of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace
and Justice, one of the world's leading academic programs for PACS
research: storytelling, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation.
Each chapter presents original research in critical issues in the
field of PACS, and provides recent research for the future
development of the field and the education of its practitioners and
academics. The book has a wide audience targeting students at the
undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. It also extends
to those working in and leading community conflict resolution
efforts as well as humanitarian aid workers. Exploring the issues
facing the field provides a means by which academics, students, and
practitioners can develop theory, practice, pedagogy, and
methodology to confront the complexity of contemporary conflicts
while expanding opportunities for future research and practice.
Contributors to the book are recognized scholars and practitioners
in their respective fields. The authors' take a holistic approach
to the study, analysis, and resolution of conflict at the personal,
interpersonal, societal and cultural levels. The book is a
retrospective of the Mauro Centre and through its content, explores
the roots of a major contributor to PACS scholarship. The
scholarship represents those who come to the PACS field with a
diversity of ideas, approaches, disciplinary roots, and topic
areas, which speaks to the complexity, breadth, and depth needed to
apply and take account of conflict dynamics and the goal of peace.
This book reflects the unique model and approach of the Arthur V.
Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice at the University of Manitoba in
central Canada: conflict transformation, peacebuilding, and
storytelling. Based in the doctoral theses and in celebration of
the first decade of Canada's only doctoral program in PACS, this
volume, co-edited by three of the graduates of the program and
written by colleagues, presents and explores a number of these
issues while presenting new and leading research across the broad
spectrum of Peace and Conflict Studies.
