Book excerpt: The death of Michael Brown at the hands of a white Ferguson police officer has uncovered an apparent legitimacy crisis at the heart of American policing.

Through site visits, personal interviews and a survey of the available literature, the author became acquainted with various innovative programs aimed at improving police-community relations. The general strategy recommended emphasizes the need for stressing improved community relations in all major police activities.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this text is to provide a resource for training police officers in the complexity of community and human relations. The text recognizes that law enforcement is faced with the need to develop line officers who are capable of not only enforcing the law but also of participating in the resolution of social problems associated with crime. The text approaches social problems from the point of view that police are primarily responsible for enforcing law and only indirectly responsible for the resolution of social problems. The authors acknowledge the importance of strengthening police-community relationships. Such relationships have a direct bearing on the character of life in cities and on a community's ability to maintain stability and solve its problems. At the same time, a police department's ability to deal with crime depends to a large extent upon its relation with citizens. Since a community's attitude toward the police is influenced by the actions of individual officers, courteous and tolerant behavior by police officers in their contacts with citizens is essential. If law enforcement programs ignore the conditions that motivate the behavior of minority groups, especially in cities, police officers will continue to act in ways that invite hostility, anger, and violence. The text discusses the effect of social problems on law enforcement, equal justice for minority groups, social change and community tension, implications of group behavior for law enforcement, the link between attitudes and prejudices and the police, and community and human relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 45 articles dealing with the context of police community relations, the police role, tensions and conflicts, police-community interaction, and improvement of police community relations. The articles selected for this anthology tend to support the position that police community relations should not be treated administratively within the police department as a separate unit. Instead, it is suggested that every officer be held accountable for relating with citizens. Among the specific topics addressed in this text are definitions of police community relations, the ways in which police respond to the multitude of demands from the community, standards and goals of policing, and the ways in which the community affects police systems. Also examined are the tensions between police and other criminal justice agencies, police corruption, typical police community relations programs, and police productivity and accountability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Courage to Commit: A Guide to De-escalating the Crisis of Citizen-Police Relations is designed to inspire vital dialogue regarding the United States' founding principles, its social covenants, and the relationship between its police force and its communities. Featuring diverse perspectives, the text illuminates the needs to both enact significant changes in policing and examine and fix police-citizen culture. The book considers the characteristics that make up a good police officer, the place of power in the actions of police officers, Sir Robert Peel' s principles for police work, and the often-tenuous relationship between the police and the community. It also addresses the role of the police during turmoil, the use of force, conflict management, crisis intervention, and de-escalation. Chapters examine the importance of training and supervision for police-citizen encounters, as well as police response to families in crisis. The book discusses potential solutions and presents readers with a framework for improved police-community relations. Throughout the text, vignettes and case studies bring the material to life and encourage lively discussion and debate. The Courage to Commit is an essential textbook for courses and programs in policing and law enforcement management and administration. It is also an ideal resource for community members, community leaders, elected and appointed officials, and all concerned citizens who are interested in improving police-citizen relations.
