Publisher Synopsis
The persuasive evidence in The Limits of Community Policing raises very serious questions about the basic procedures for engaging the community in community policing programs and other police programs with a similar purpose. Based on five years of observational research on community meetings in Los Angeles, the authors persuasively document how police officials control the procedures and the outcomes of neighborhood meetings. In addition to controlling agendas, officials respond to the expressed concerns of meeting participants by accepting some, deflecting others away from police responsibility, or resisting them altogether. The most urgent community concerns about policing, in short, are never fully addressed. This is an extremely important book for scholars, police officials and policy-makers. -- Samuel Walker,co-author of The New World of Police Accountability, Third Edition This meticulously researched ethnographic study of community policing in Los Angeles addresses the larger racial dynamics of the interaction between Black and Brown communities and the LAPD. In doing so, the authors offer compelling insight into the citizens wishes, and the departments response. An important work for anyone studying Los Angeles, or those examining the relationship between minority communities and police departments in challenging times. -- Jeannine Bell, author of Hate Thy Neighbor: Move-in Violence and the Persistence of Racial Segregation in America Through extensive ethnographic research, The Limits of Community Policing challenges the taken for granted value of community policing by showing the ways that police produce and manage it and in the process exacerbate core problems of inequality in the Los Angeles landscape. -- Alex S. Vitale,author of The End of Policing There are many books on community policing, but this is the first to provide a detailed, reflective interdisciplinary approach to finding solutions in the 21st century. The Limits of Community Policing is an important book. * Choice * Read more...
