Community Policing: Broken Windows, Community Building, And Satisfaction With The Police, Robert M. Lombardo, Todd Lough

The concept of community policing dominates the law enforcement profession today. One would be hard pressed to find an advertisement for a police chief’s position that does not require a thorough understanding of this method of policing. Like the Kansas City preventive patrol experiment and the Rand report on the criminal investigation process, the call for community policing has led to dramatic changes in the way that police carry out their responsibilities. In spite of its popularity, there have been a number of challenges to community policing from social scientists who are particularly concerned about the ‘broken windows’ model of …

When implementing new policies, police chiefs need to develop strategies to identify potential supporters and mobilize their assistance. Some critics question the feasibility of implementing community policing in traditional organizations. Advocates, on the other hand, suggest these issues can be overcome by such common techniques as planning and training. We use principal-agent theory to investigate police chiefs' perception of support for community policing. Training and inclusion in planning are found to be associated with levels of support down through the rank structure. At the level of line officer, the picture is less clear.

Community Policing And Civic Journalism: Same Wine, Different Bottles?, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Community policing and civic journalism are strikingly similar, current movements within the social organizations of law enforcement and mass media. Defining civic journalism, best thought of as "community-focused journalism," has been problematic for the field of mass media but shapes the starting point for discussion. Identifying, analyzing, and contrasting commonalities within these two movements are the topics explored within this work. While the precepts of each movement are shaped by the respective organization, the inherent processes and goals remain notably similar. What are the comparative connections that shape community empowerment? How does each organization partner with its shared "community client" …
Exploring The Function Of The Media In Community Policing, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Exploring The Function Of The Media In Community Policing, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Identified by the late, Robert Trojanowicz, as one of the 'Big Six' necessary for successful implementation and maintenance of community policing initiatives, the exact function of the media in community policing remains largely unexplored and untested. While authors of case studies have sometimes examined the degree of favorability with which community officers were portrayed in various media, none have examined media function, per se. The task of this exploratory piece istwo-fold. First, general and community policing literature are reviewed in order to identify how its champions have historically viewed the media's role in the community policing movement. The function of …
