Jerome H. Skolnick, Wesley G. Skogan, Susan M. Hartnett

Open publisher page 549 citations

Abstract

Police departments across the USA are busily reinventing themselves, adopting a new style known as community policing. Police departments that succeed in adopting this new stance have an entirely different relationship to the public that they serve. Chicago made the transition, and this book examines why it did, how it did it, and how well it worked.
