{"product_id":"community-policing-in-indigenous-communities","title":"Community Policing in Indigenous Communities","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndigenous communities are typically those that challenge the laws of the nation states of which they have become—often very reluctantly—a part. Around the world, community policing has emerged in many of these regions as a product of their physical environments and cultures. Through a series of case studies, \u003cstrong\u003eCommunity Policing in Indigenous Communities \u003c\/strong\u003eexplores how these often deeply divided societies operate under the community policing paradigm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the local expertise of policing practitioners and researchers across the globe, the book explores several themes with regard to each region:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow community policing originated or evolved in the community and how it has changed over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe type of policing style used—whether informal or formal and uniformed or non-uniformed, whether partnerships are developed with local community organizations or businesses, and the extent of covert operations, if any \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role played by community policing in the region, including the relative emphasis of calls for service, the extent to which advice and help is offered to citizens, whether local records are kept of citizen movement and locations, and investigation and arrest procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe community’s special cultural or indigenous attributes that set it apart from other models of community policing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganizational attributes, including status in the \"hierarchy of control\" within the regional or national organization of policing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe positive and negative features of community policing as it is practiced in the community \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts effectiveness in reducing and or preventing crime and disorder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book demonstrates that community policing cannot be imposed from above without grassroots input from local citizens. It is a strategy—not simply for policing with consent—but for policing in contexts where there is often little, if any, consent. It is an aspirational practice aimed to help police and communities within contested contexts to recognize that positive gains can be made, enabling communities to live in relative safety.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262008381784,"sku":"9781138382176","price":78.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138382176_208fddfa-98b5-41ca-9ca2-a3592dd5b1ee.jpg?v=1779423366","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/community-policing-in-indigenous-communities","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
