Crime and the Tragedy of Public Housing in Chicago

The Hidden War

Providing a clear picture of trends amongst progressive police authorities, researchers from North America and the United Kingdom address the fundamental question - whether community policing is set to fulfil its many promises. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the authors present a thorough evaluation of the social and organizational processes involved in planning and implementing community policing as well as the effects of such programmes and policies on the police and the community itself.

The Challenge of Community Policing

Do citizen and police initiatives have any impact on the incidence and fear of crime? This volume brings together studies of several community crime prevention programmes that were introduced in major US cities. The book is unique in its breadth of focus: its contributors address a broad and varied audience, including practitioners, policy-makers, and scholars interested in community crime prevention and evaluation research.
