Community Policing, Chicago Style

By Wesley G. Skogan and Susan M. Hartnett

Book Overview

Police departments across the country are busily "reinventing" themselves, adopting a new style known as "community policing." Chicago made the transition, embarking on what is now the nation's largest and most impressive community policing program. This book, the first to examine such a project, looks in depth at why it was adopted, how it was adopted, and how well it has worked.
