Casey Foundation and the Police IExecutive Research Forum (PERF) have come together to produce this book on the past, present, and future of community policing. The mission of The Annie E. Casey Foundation is to improve the lives of disadvantaged youth and their families—particularly those in distressed areas. PERF’s mission is to improve policing services to all individuals. These missions intersect at community policing, which brings police and communities together to solve neighborhood problems and improve the quality of life there. While there are many factors and entities at work that determine the welfare of America’s children and families, certainly community policing is a significant one. With this mutual concern for communities plagued by violence, disorder, and fear, we have joined forces to produce this book to demonstrate the importance of community policing and reflect on its development, current status, and prospects for the future. There has been tremendous speculation about the future of community policing. Can it flourish in agencies that are still in the early stages of implementation? In agencies that have demonstrated their commitment to community policing, can it be sustained and even advanced beyond cur- rent models when there are so many challenges facing innovative policing professionals? This book addresses these important questions. The authors provide valuable information on the implementation of community polic- ing as well as informed opinions about what community policing may one day become. These national experts and leaders in policing speak out on ix frontmatter 12/6/04 3:28 PM Page x x critical issues and evaluate a decade of survey data. Their sometimes-dis- parate views reveal the many obstacles that must be overcome for commu- nity policing to meet its full potential. Among those obstacles are the demands created by ongoing terrorist threats and the organizational and cultural barriers to successful imple- mentation of community policing principles. Several chapters evaluate the impact of September 11, 2001, on law enforcement. Some observers are concerned that the nation’s focus on antiterrorist activities will be the death knell for community policing. This book assesses how new demands on police related to homeland security will affect community policing; and it underscores the very real contribution that community policing has made and will make to advance U.S. security interests. Among the many other factors the authors discuss are officer training, organizational changes in police agencies, new performance measures, management-union issues, and police-citizen partnerships. Part I describes the community policing model. While attempts during the past decade to develop a single definition of community policing have been controversial, consensus has emerged on three elements common to any community policing effort. These elements form the main themes of Chapter 1 written by Lorie Fridell. Mary Ann Wycoff then highlights best practices in community policing (Chapter 2), warning that the visible accomplishments of community engagement and problem solving will not be sustained without organizational transformation. In Chapter 3, Edward Flynn argues that community policing is fundamentally just “good polic- ing” and he reminds us—through reflections on his own experiences in law enforcement from line officer to leader—of the great transformation from traditional to community policing. Part II examines how community policing principles are reflected in policing practices and assesses whether community policing is “rhetoric or reality.” To conduct this assessment, PERF staff drew upon information obtained through national surveys of law enforcement agencies in 1992, 1997, and 2002. The data were used to report not only the extent to which agencies identify as community policing agencies, but also the specific man- ifestations of that orientation in terms of activities, training, and reorgani- zation. Because the three surveys were similar in content and implemented at three different times over a period of ten years, the reader can chronicle changes in community policing implementation in the United States for that decade. In the 2002 survey, law enforcement agencies added informa- tion about the impact of the terrorist threat on community policing, as well frontmatter 12/6/04 3:28 PM Page xi xi as how community policing practices help police address that threat. Lorie Fridell, in Chapter 4, discusses the results from the three surveys. In Chap- ter 5, Gary Cordner outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the survey data and highlights the aspects of community policing that have been most successfully implemented, as well as those features that agency executives need to give more emphasis in the years to come. In Part III, law enforcement practitioners and academic experts— reflecting upon the research results and their own experiences—discuss where law enforcement has been with community policing and where it may be going. These commentators provide practical direction for law enforcement professionals, particularly agency executives, on how the promise of community policing can be fulfilled in the challenging years ahead. Bonnie Bucqueroux (Chapter 6) draws on the survey data to demonstrate how departments have been deficient in their partnership work and she provides guidance on how to fully realize this critical element of community policing. Paul Grogan and Lisa Belsky (Chapter 7) describe the results of successful community development corporations-police partnerships across the nation, citing activities that reduce disorder, strengthen neighborhood social controls, increase the political power of residents, and promote economic development. Dennis Rosenbaum (Chap- ter 8) also addresses the importance of the relationship between police and the community—highlighting how new technologies can be harnessed to move community policing into the future. Barbara McDonald and Ron Huberman (Chapter 9) then describe one such technology: a very compre- hensive information system the Chicago Police Department uses to advance citizen interactions with police, facilitate problem solving and crime investigation, and promote effective performance measurement— particularly measures of community satisfaction. Nancy McPherson (Chapter 10) emphasizes the importance of structures and processes internal to police agencies that support community policing as they move into the future. She highlights the importance of leadership at the line level; the need for research, education and technology to support problem solving; internal organizational mechanisms that reinforce com- munity policing; ethical competence among personnel; and management- union collaboration. Jerry Flynn draws on his experience as a police officer and union leader to demonstrate how community policing can be advanced through the efforts of dedicated, creative street officers. Ellen Hanson (Chapter 12) raises the critical issue of resources for continued support of community policing.

Vol.8, No.2. � 2008 Academy of East Asian Studies. pp.163-177 On the Rooftop: A Study of Marginalized Youth Films in Hong Kong Cinema1 Xuelin ZHOU University of Auckland ABSTRACT Researchers of contemporary Hong Kong cinema have tended to concentrate on the monumental, metropolitan and/or historical works of such esteemed directors as Wong Kar-Wai, John Woo and Tsui Hark. This paper focuses instead on a number of low-budget films that circulated below the radar of Chinese as well as Western film scholars but were important to local young viewers, i.e. a cluster of films that feature deviant and marginalized youth as protagonists. They are very interesting as evidence of perceived social problems in contemporary Hong Kong. The paper aims to outline some main features of these marginalized youth films produced since the mid-1990s. Keywords: Hong Kong, cinema, youth culture, youth film, marginalized youth On the Rooftop A scene set on the rooftop of a skyscraper in central Hong Kong appears in New Police Story(2004), or Xin jingcha gushi, by the Hong Kong director Benny Chan, an action drama that features an aged local police officer struggling to fight a group of trouble-making, tech-savvy teenagers.2 The young people are using the rooftop for an “X-party,” an occasion for showing off their skills of skateboarding and cycling, by doing daredevil stunts along the edge of the building.

  • Benchmark Presentation Description
    ANALYT ICS ™ TRENDS IN POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY: Everything a Municipality Should Know and Ask Their Police Department In this session Ron Huberman will review a variety of new police accountability models being used around the country, as well as assessments of their effectiveness. Additionally, he will cover what is considered to be the 101’s of accountability that should be in place in every police department. Finally, Ron will provide a few case studies of what went right and what went wrong with recent highly publicized police shootings and other use-of-force incidents – and the aftermaths of those events. As police liability settlements continue to grow year after year, these new accountability systems aren’t just ‘nice-to-haves’, they are ‘must-haves’ for cities to demonstrate systematic approaches for the monitoring and intervention of problematic patterns of police officer conduct. Ron Huberman BIO Ron Huberman is currently CEO and Co-Founder of Benchmark Analytics, a police force management and early intervention software solution provider that’s dedicated to advancing officer career paths and overall department goals. During his 16-year career in Chicago city government, Ron helped tackle many of the challenges municipal governments face in a variety of positions, including: • Nine years in the Chicago Police Department — advancing to Assistant Deputy Superintendent, where he created the country’s most advanced policing technology system and developed innovative, community-based strategies that helped decrease crime. • Executive Director of the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications — where Ron created the state-of-the-art Operations ANALYT ICS ™ Center, which provides real-time intelligence to public safety and homeland security officials.

  • A Study of Militarization and Use of Force
    LIVING IN OCCUPIED TERRITORY: A STUDY OF MILITARIZATION AND USE OF FORCE Cori Pryor A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2020 Committee: Thomas Mowen, Advisor Steve Demuth Danielle Kuhl ii ABSTRACT Thomas Mowen, Advisor Police militarization is happening on a widespread scale across the United States. However, very little is known about its relationship with use of force. At the same time, there has been a growing focus on community policing. Given the concurrent establishment of both of these trends, it is problematic that we do not know how these two tactics interplay with one another, especially in regard to use of force. Additionally, though force is thought to be a mechanism of social control that is unequally distributed in nonwhite communities, studies examining the link between militarization and use of force have yet to include race/ethnicity into their analysis. This paper attempts to address this important gap in the literature by examining the relationship between militarization and use of force through the lens of minority threat theory. I use data from Law Enforcement Management and Statistics 2013, American Community Survey 2009, and Uniform Crime Reports 2013, as well as item response theory and multivariate regression techniques to study this relationship. Results show that militarization is positive and significantly related to the number of use of force incidents recorded by an agency. Additionally, community policing shares a positive and significant relationship with use of force. However, neither racial demographics nor community policing moderate the relationship between militarization and use of force.
