Using data from 42 sizable American cities on their environments and police organizational structures, the book documents the importance of organizational structure on police action by predicting arrest rates for 2 types of serious criminal offenses. It applies this research perspective to neighborhoods in analyses of policing styles in three cities: Elyria, Ohio; Columbia, S.C.; and Newark, N.J. The study examines the kinds of data on police action available from a police dispatch log, as well as particular information recording processes used in the three sites. Two key indicators of police style are the rate of police aggressiveness and the degree to which local police work is legalistic, watchmanlike, or service-oriented. These measures are used to analyze variations in policing styles across both neighborhoods and cities, providing support to the theory that organization rather than environment determines local policing styles. This view receives additional support from indepth analyses of social, demographic, and economic characteristics of the three sites. Tables, references, and index.

Although law enforcement officials have long recognized the need to cooperate with the communities they serve, recent efforts to enhance performance and maximize resources have resulted in a more strategic approach to collaboration among police, local governments, and community members. The goal of these so-called "community policing" initiatives is to prevent neighborhood crime, reduce the fear of crime, and enhance the quality of life in communities. Despite the growing national interest in and support for community policing, the factors that influence an effective implementation have been largely unexplored. Drawing on data from nearly every major U.S. municipal police force, Community Policing in America is the first comprehensive study to examine how the organizational context and structure of police organizations impact the implementation of community policing. Jeremy Wilson’s book offers a unique theoretical framework within which to consider community policing, and identifies key internal and external factors that can facilitate or impede this process, including community characteristics, geographical region, police chief turnover, and structural complexity and control. It also provides a simple tool that practitioners, policymakers, and researchers can use to measure community policing in specific police organizations.

This guidebook presents a new and comprehensive organizational model for the institutionalization of effective crime reduction strategies into police agencies, called the Stratified Model of Problem Solving, Analysis, and Accountability (i.e., "Stratified Model"), along with the specific mechanisms, practices, and products necessary to carry out the approach in any police agency, no matter the size or the crime and disorder levels. Consequently, the purpose of the guidebook is to present the Stratified Model in a succinct and practical way in order to provide direction for institutionalizing effective crime reduction strategies and accountability. The goal is to discuss the applicability of the problem solving process and accountability procedures as well as present relevant analytical products that can immediately be used to systematically implement crime reduction strategies. Although any police leader will find this guide informative, it is mainly written for police managers and commanders who are seeking to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of their agency's crime reduction efforts. It will also be most useful to those with an understanding of basic organizational change and leadership principles and methods. This guidebook is not a primer to police leadership nor does it provide instruction on how to enact organizational change in a police agency. It simply presents an effective model that can be used as a template for systematizing crime reduction strategies, analysis products, and accountability processes. A model based on the assumptions that problem solving is an effective process for addressing simple and complex problems, that crime reduction strategies can and should be guided by analysis, and that an accountability structure is imperative for enacting and sustaining change in a police agency. The guidebook first presents the foundations and elements of the Stratified Model, then provides guidelines for implementing crime reduction strategies at different levels and evaluation of these efforts, as well as an organizational structure of accountability. Although the objective is to implement all aspects of the Stratified Model, an agency may choose to implement parts of the model as appropriate or to implement the model in phases. As a result, the guidebook provides a separate discussion of how problem solving, analysis, and accountability occur at each level of crime reduction-immediate, short-term, and long-term-that is followed by a discussion of evaluation and an organizational structure of accountability that would be used if all levels of crime reduction are implemented simultaneously. At the end of the guide, the information is synthesized into a table illustrating a framework that can be easily adapted for agencies that seek to tailor the model and implement it into their own organizational structure.

Traditional innovative concepts of police administration are examined in writings focusing primarily on alternatives to the quasi-military administrative style. The text presents background material on the status of police administration and suggests new directions that police agencies may take to improve the quality of law enforcement. Two alternatives to the classical organizational arrangement -- the human relations perspective (decentralization, participative-democratic leadership and decisionmaking) and the systems approach (data systems, identification of goals, control and coordination based on data analysis) -- are emphasized. The writings are divided into five areas: perspectives on the role of the police and of police administration; the police organization; organizational behavior in police systems; control processes in the police organization; and changing the police organization.

Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.
