This book focuses on how Chicago actually tried to formulate and
implement problem solving as part of a thoroughgoing change in its
style of policing. It describes the five-step problem-solving model
that the city developed for tackling neighborhood problems ranging
from graffiti to gang violence.
Police departments across the country are busily "reinventing"
themselves, adopting a new style known as "community policing."
This approach to policing involves organizational decentralization,
new channels of communication with the public, a commitment to
responding to what the community thinks their priorities ought to
be, and the adoption of a broad problem-solving approach to
neighborhood issues. Police departments that succeed in adopting
this new stance have an entirely different relationship to the
public that they serve. Chicago made the transition, embarking on
what is now the nation's largest and most impressive community
policing program. This book, the first to examine such a project,
looks in depth at all aspects of the program--why it was adopted,
how it was adopted, and how well it has worked.
