About this title

Review:

"I have reviewed and used numerous hooks for this course 'Community Policing: A Contemporary Perspective.' Simply said, Dr. Oliver's book covers the subject in a smart orderly manner for the student and the instructor." ― Bruce T. Smith, Ohio University, Chillicothe, OH

From the Back Cover:

The second edition of Community-Oriented Policing: A Systemic Approach to Policing reviews the development of community-oriented policing over the last two decades of the twentieth century and explores the future of this innovative approach to policing for the twenty-first century. It continues to combine the philosophical aspects with the experiential implementation of community-oriented policing, in order to derive a balance between theory and practice. It is intended for professors, students, and police practitioners interested in this progressive approach to policing.
