About this Item

364 Pages Indexed. Police-Community Relations and the Administration of Justice, Eighth Edition, continues the theme of citizen participation and emphasizes why it is critical to the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. It focuses on the importance of and strategies for positive police-community interactions and addresses the internal and external communities the police serve. The text's interdisciplinary approach draws data and discussions from a wide range of disciplines and gives students a well-rounded perspective to help them better understand and practice positive police-community relations. Every edition of this book has been organized around the same theme: Each criminal justice system (the police, the courts, and corrections) must develop and maintain meaningful, two-way communications among the agency, its service area, and populations served. This communication leads to community-agency partnerships that facilitate problem solving. As the gatekeepers of the criminal justice system and the most visible representatives of our form of government, the police have a unique responsibility to engage in partnerships with their communities. These partnerships, once developed, can create a sense of safety, problem solving, and good quality of life for all served. This book addresses all the communities the police serve and discusses past, current, and future practices that can create and sustain meaningful and successful police--community relations. This text is designed for use in a one-semester course on Police and the Community, Police- Community Relations, or Police and Society. It is an overview of the topics covered and much more can be said about every topic. We address the topics in the context of community relations and encourage the reader to pursue further study in areas of special interest.
