Publisher: Pearson Education (US), 1997

This textbook takes the reader through an historical review of police and community relations and demonstrates how the concept of Community-Oriented Policing has evolved and then walks the reader through the theory and practical application to arrive at a consensual definition. It then proceeds to discuss how the police and community must begin to change to achieve the benefits of this paradigm in policing. This textbook is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students, professors and police practitioners needing a broader understanding of the philosophy and concepts of Community-Oriented Policing. This textbook presents Community-Oriented Policing in both a theoretical and applied sense, mixing that which is academic with that which is practical. This textbook comes with an Instructor's Manual and Testbank for the Instructor's use, both written by the author.

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

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.
