Description
Summary:It has been perceived that the police were historically an organization which derived its authority and legitimacy from the public. Contemporary police scholars have suggested that the professional model of policing does not control crime and that the police should focus more attention on community issues which generate crime and urban decay. The concept of community policing has received national attention. Yet there are relatively few examples of debates which have abandoned the failed professional model and successfully made the transition to community policing. This article addresses the issue of organizational change and organizational development in relation to community policing and performance modeling.
