Assignment 3c: potential intervention into Community Policing
Thoughts

Josh S

 * Common methods of community-policing
 * Being more specific on the types of methods ie: give examples of programs, community resource officers, community needs
 * Specific resources available to the community or those on probation and parole
 * Provide more information on Broken Windows theory, why or why not this does or doesn't work
 * Add more to the historical information, most importantly bring it more current
 * Talk about the lack of funding for programs to assist people that are on probation/parole, and funding issues

Adding more information on the creation of the police and the desire to have them a separate entity both in appearance and operational design. More information comparing the "traditional" sense of policing and how it has become a topic for controversy as of late would be beneficial to understand why community policing is a step to repair the policing image. Information on police living in the community versus commuting to the area they serve.

1."traditional policing", I would assist in adding a link explaining traditional policing.

2. Evaluation under the section Evaluation they mention "determining whether police or policies are effective or not can be done by evaluating the crime rate for a geographic area." this gets back to the notion of one of early class readers of policing being able to actually lower crime or fight crime being part of the impossible mandate. I would assist in adding that article to be utilized as a source in this area. (Manning, Peter K. 1978. “The Police: Mandate, Strategies, and Appearances.” In Policing: A View from the Street, edited by Peter K. Manning)

3. Adding a section to this article entitled "historical problems with some communities based off racial tensions" could be necessary. Some communities will not be to accepting to working with the police based on history accouterments of being misused. Some of these tensions has emblemed the black community to teach their off springs to avoids the police for their safety. Two article that will be valuable are  (Chambliss, William J. 1994. “Policing the Ghetto Underclass: The Politics of Law and Law Enforcement.” Social Problems 41 (2): 177–94. doi:10.1525/sp.1994.41.2.03x0433q.)and

 * The evaluation portion could use some work. There is quite a bit of information out there about how community policing could be improved, this could probably become its own section or subsection under the evaluation section.
 * We could talk more about the differences between reactive policing and community policing.
 * Needs more current information.
 * The community alienation section is a good start. We may need to add to it.

Potential Changes to Community Policing article


 * Mentions Broken Windows theory in the 2nd paragraph as a way to support community policing. On the talk page and under the history section, it is said that community policing is derived from this theory. Is this true? If not, we should fix that.


 * In general, there could be more added to the "History" section on how community policing came to fruition.


 * Not much current information or many current statistics shown on the success or failure of this policing strategy.

I added a citation to the community policing section on the comparison to traditional policing with the Brogden source to add to the notion of community policing being a rehash of past ideas.

DeMarco J
Added citation of "politics of vocation",

Adding sentence that declares a different notion of community based on the racial background of the community due to historic encounterments with the police.

added citations from the following

1. Wilson, James Q, and George L Kelling. 1982. “Broken Windows.” Atlantic Monthly 249 (3): 29–38

Makes a stronger claim of the use of police force to meet their aims or goals with an actual source or evidences to back it up. The author makes a lot of claims with out any supporting evidence.

I added a quote from Jauregui to the Community policing page.
