- Summary:
- "COMMUNITY POLICING AND PROBLEM SOLVING: STRATEGIES AND PRACTICES, 6/e" is about policing at its most important and challenging levels-in neighborhoods and communities across the nation and abroad. Unique in perspective, its focus is on community policing and problem solving-and the processes that are being implemented under COPPS to control and prevent crime, disorder and fear. Extremely applied, this text focuses on daily processes and tactics and how and why agencies are revolutionizing their traditional philosophy and operations.
