Overview

"This title is part of The Wadsworth Professionalism in Policing Series, edited by Samuel Walker. This reader is a descriptive presentation of current practices within policing and juvenile justice (focusing on gangs) that utilize the community-policing model. By looking at specific strategies and their efficacy, the authors attempt to combat a major perceived problem with community policing; that the methodology of community policing can be subjective and nebulous, using ill-defined and misinterpreted practices. This book shows what is working for agencies across the country and how these ""best practices"" can be employed."

I think one of the most interesting things about this book is how each chapter is set in a different area. It allows the reader to compare recent gang policing strategies in different cities. Besides being able to identify which strategies are the most effective, the reader can also see how the effective strategy in one city was adopted and tailored in another city.
