In community policing, there are two key players, the community, and the police. In order to achieve community policing, there must be an equal amount of effort put forth by both parties. One component of community policing is “community partnership.” In the community partnership component, the primary goal is to create an atmosphere of trust between the police and the community’s citizens. Once trust has been established, the community becomes an active part of helping the police identify…

Community Events Reflections The relationship law enforcement has with the community it serves and protects is an extremely important one. If a positive relationship is forged then community members are more likely to afford law enforcement officers the respect they deserve and to reach out to those officers when they are in need. However, if a negative relationship is forged then community members are more likely to harbor hostility towards law enforcement officers and to be more negative in…

PART B, 1: Which policing style do you believe is the most effective in preventing crime? (e.g zero tolerance, community policing, POP etc.) Discuss why?

Police use the notion of moral panic created by the media in order to drum up support to expand their powers, resources and personnel. A key example of the interplay of traditional models of policing can be seen in the introduction of anti-terrorism laws within the last decade, specifically such acts as The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Legislation Amendment Act 2003 and the Anti-Terrorism Bill (No. 2) 2005 which passed through the Australian Parliament in 2005 (Rix 2006, p.2).…

The public’s perceptions about the lawfulness and legitimacy of law enforcement are an important part of policing.
