商品簡介
In this work for criminal justice professionals, Mishra, assistant inspector general of police in Madhya Pradesh, India, emphasizes that the transition to community policing must be guided by clearly stated ethics that provide the police organization and the public with a clear sense of the police's expanded focus and direction. Much of the discussion takes place in the context of traditional Indian self-policing societies in rural India, where caste 'panchayats' or tribal heads enforce the rules of the community. The first part of the book has ten chapters on the philosophy and concept of community policing, the multiple roles of police practitioners in community policing, and obstacles to community policing. The second part of the book offers four chapter-length case studies from East Timor, showing how community policing can address communal violence, domestic violence, and violence against women.
