Description
This book examines the evolution of the concept of community policing and the theory of broken windows (introduced by James Q. Wilson and George Kelling in a 1982 Atlantic Monthly article). The work makes policy recommendations for the future of policing in a post-September 11 world. From the Foreword: . . . a substantial contribution to the public policy debate . . . Readers, be they front-line police officers, those occupying leadership positions in police departments, elected or appointive city officials, academic researchers, or simply civic-engaged citizens, will profit enormously from Professors Weisss thoughtful, integrative, and challenging conclusions. Prof. Ralph A. Rossum, Claremont McKenna College
