Brewster, JoAnne, et al. "Effectiveness of Citizen Police Academies in Changing the Attitudes, Beliefs, and Behavior of Citizen Participants." American Journal of Criminal Justice (Fall 2005): pp. 21-34.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the citizen police academies (CPA) in two cities were effective in changing participants' attitudes toward police. At the end of the CPA, participants in both cities rated themselves as having more positive attitudes toward police, and more willingness to engage in behaviors that would help police. There was also an increase in actual performance of some cooperative behaviors during the CPA.

Brogden, Michael and Preeti Nijhar. Community Policing: National and International Models and Approaches. Portland, OR: Willan, 2005. Call Number: HV 7936.C83B76 2005
Abstract: Research on community policing , for the most part, is very heavily weighted toward the reporting of "success stories" and seldom entails a reporting of lessons learned from failed efforts. This text is partisan in that in the post-modern age, it perceives the intrusions of state police authorities in civil society with a residual suspicion, based on the history of state police institutions. Finally, the text is selective but representative in its referencing.

Bucqueroux, Bonnie. "Leadership versus Management." [http://www.policing.com/]. December 2006.
Abstract: The best police departments benefit from excellent leadership and superior management. But what we must remember are the differences between the two--and the fact that the same person may not be good at both. If a police department is going to implement a change as profound as implementing community policing, it will need the skills of both.

Cordner, Gary and Elizabeth Perkins Biebel. "Problem-Oriented Policing in Practice." Criminology & Public Policy (May 2005): pp. 155-80.
Abstract: Interviews and surveys were used to measure the extent of problem-oriented policing (POP) by individual police officers in the San Diego Police Department. Officers tended to engage in small-scale problem solving with little formal analysis or assessment. Responses generally included enforcement plus one or two more collaborative or nontraditional initiatives.

Police in Providence, Rhode Island, are collaborating with a local university to tackle gun violence and other problems in the city. Other jurisdictions could also benefit from such collaborations.

Hoover, Larry. "Neighborhood Deployment: Conceptual Issues." TELEMASP Bulletin (September/October 2003): pp. 1-11. Notes: Available full text on CJPI
Abstract: A crucial factor beyond performance issues is community demand for neighborhood deployment. A better approach is the use of a performance based allocation tool, such as the Allocation Model for Police Patrol (AMPP) Model. The AMPP model calls for the user to specify the amount of time officers spend on proactive efforts. These proactive efforts include activities ranging from traffic law enforcement to attending community meetings.

Manning, Peter K. "Problem Solving?" Criminology & Public Policy (May 2005): pp. 149-54.
Notes: Available fulltext on CJPI
Abstract: Many researchers in police studies have been in a self-congratulatory pose for sometime now, which includes claims for massive change in police organizations, structural de-differentiation and smart management, policies that change behavior on the ground, and elegant new, well-crafted strategies and tactics. The facts on which the claims based are thin, various, contradictory, and often troubling.

Abstract: Community policing is both, a philosophy and an organizational strategy that allows the police and residents to work closely together to address crime, physical and social disorders, and neighborhood decay.

This study helps us to understand how fear of crime is reduced by the implementation of community policing.

Schafer, Joseph A. Community Policing: The Challenges of Successful Organizational Change. New York: LFB Scholarly, 2001. Call Number: HV 7936.C83S37 2001
Abstract: This text does not explore the merits of community policing as a program or a philosophy. Instead, it focuses on those obstacles which might impede organizational change in police agencies attempting to implement community policing.
Specifically, the text explores the change process in a medium-sized police agency seeking to shift from traditional to a community policing paradigm.

Schneider, Andrea, et al. Community Policing in ACTION! : A Practitioner's Eye View of Organizational Change. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Justice, 2003.
Call Number: J 1.2:C 73/11
Abstract: Law enforcement agencies are traditionally reluctant to reexamine processes that have proven effective, but what if there's a better way? Have you ever wondered what it would take to reorient your agency around the principles of community policing? This report charts the progress of a group of law enforcement agencies determined to do precisely that. Some got farther than others, some started farther ahead, but they all learned valuable lessons about the process. The COPS Office has collected these lessons in this report, and they truly provide a practitioner's eye view of the challenges and obstacles to implementing organizational changes in a 21st century law enforcement agency. Community policing is that better way, and the COPS Office helped these agencies embrace it.

Trapp, Clayton. "Community Policing in the United Kingdom." Law & Order (March 2003): pp. 42-6.
Abstract: Policing policies in the United Kingdom offer an opportunity to consider if the policies, whether adopted whole or integrated, might offer an opportunity to positively affect law enforcement in the states. The trend in the UK policing is to enforce variations of policies seen to work in the United States, notably zero tolerance concepts, New York's comp Stat model, and problem solving approaches in general.

Trojanowicz, Robert, et al. Community Policing: A Contemporary Perspective. Cincinnati, OH: Anderson, 2002. Call Number: HV 7936.C83T76 2002
Abstract: The police must develop strategies by which to implement the philosophy of community policing. Strategies provide guidelines for the development of specific programs. Community policing has at least three strategic dimensions. These dimensions include: (1) geographic focus and ownership, (2) direct, daily, face-to-face contact, and (3) prevention focus. These three parameters should guide operational planning when implementing community policing.

Wells, L. Edward, et al. "Community Characteristics and Policing Styles in Suburban Agencies." Policing Vol. 26, no. 4(2003): pp. 566-90.
Abstract: Recent policing reforms have strongly emphasized the role of community context in determining the form and content of effective policing, along with the traditional influence of organizational structures. Recognizing the increasing suburbanization of US communities, this study examines the empirical support for the underlying contextual and structural premises of these reforms in a sample of Midwestern suburban communities. The findings both support and contradict some basic assumptions of current community-oriented policing reforms, as well as some of the findings of prior studies. They underline the importance of empirically testing our theoretical assumptions in all types of community settings.

Wuestewald, Todd. "Shared Leadership: Can Empowerment Work in Police Organizations?" The Police Chief (January 2006): pp. 48-55.
Abstract: Participative management techniques have reaped great benefits for industry in terms of productivity, quality, and worker satisfaction, but such power-sharing arrangements seem to have found little acceptance in law enforcement circles. At a time when the police have been tasked with implementing proactive, community-oriented approaches to crime, employee empowerment may offer significant advantages over traditional top-down police administration.

Zhao, Jihong, et al. "Community Policing: Did It Change the Basic Functions of Policing in the 1990s?" Justice Quarterly (December 2003): pp. 697-724.
Abstract: This article examines changes in organizational priorities related to the three core functions of American policing crime control, the maintenance of order, and the provision of services-during the era of community-oriented policing(COP). The change in priorities is analyzed using panel data from three national surveys of more than 200 municipal police departments conducted in 1993, 1996, and 2000. The primary finding is that police core-function priorities remained largely unchanged during this period. However, the systematic implementation of COP programs reflects an all-out effort to address all three core functions of policing at a higher level of achievement.
