Community Policing as Public Policy

Book Description

Keeping in view the role of the police in a modern society, the respect for the rule of law and the trust of the community as a critical resource, more and more police organizations around the world have embraced Community Policing with the objective of making the police sensitive to the needs of the community. However, in the absence of an institutional and legal framework and a resultant lack of understanding of the dynamics of policy processes, many such initiatives failed to stand the test of time. Against this backdrop, this book explains community policing from the perspective of public policy, not merely as an organizational philosophy to be adopted by police departments in a piecemeal manner, but as a long term, sustainable and robust organizational strategy. A model has been developed by triangulating the theories and praxis of Community Policing and organizing them in a Context-Process-Outcome matrix in respect of per-implementation, implementation and impact phases. As the net outcome of the field study, a set of challenges and recommendations have been spelled out to serve as guidelines for both policy makers and implementers in their efforts to introduce community policing as a public policy.

Product reviews for Community Policing as a Public Policy
“A must read for academics, researchers, activists and concerned citizens.” —Arvind Verma, Associate Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA

“The book is a penetrating analysis of the challenges of introducing community policing successfully in a post-colonial democracy.” —Jacob Punnoose, Former Police Chief, Kerala, India

“This book is highly contextual and relevant for modern day policing.” —G. Ramesh, Associate Professor, Chairperson of the Center for Public Policy, IIM, Bangalore, India

“The authors have gone to the heart of one of the most important challenges facing the policing system today – the relationship between the policy, police and the communities they serve.” —Gita Sen, Adjunct Professor, Global Health and Population, Harvard School of Public Health, USA

“This book provides an in-depth qualitative analysis of the three phases of the JSP policy process as experienced in Kerala and, in addition, uses this analysis to conceptualize a model that can be used to improve the community policing policy-making process.” —Larry Schroeder, Emeritus Professor of Public Administration and International Affairs, Syracuse University, USA

“The book incorporates a series of sound and pragmatic recommendations on community policing.” —Sankar Sen, Formerly Director, SVP National Police Academy, India; Senior Fellow, ISS, New Delhi
