Community Policing in Action: A Practitioner's GuideJuta and Company Ltd, 1995 - 143 sivua Community Policing in Action - A Practitioner's Guide presents a clear statement of the philosophy and practice of community policing. Drawing on experience in Britain and South Africa, it provides practical guidance to practitioners, students and academics on the possibilities and barriers to effective implementation. Each chapter concludes with a series of questions designed to stimulate the reader to consider the effects and consequences of action. A central theme underlying the text is that community policing is more than a way of thinking: it is a way of providing policing services that meet the needs of diverse communities. Community safety is conceived of as a human rights issue. An essential ingredient for success is thorough consultation in which the police are one of the key elements in ensuring community safety in a democratic society. |
