Community-Oriented Policing and Technological Innovations

Edited by Georgios Leventakis, M. R. Haberfeld.

Community policing started in the United States in the second half of the century when the rise of social disorder and crime rates was so high that LEAs had to rethink about the efficiency of their relationship with citizens and about the crimefighting model in place (Crime Stoppers International 2017). The need for a new police model involved also Comparisons across Eastern and Western Europe in Europe. Recognizing that police can rarely solve public safety problems on their own, community policing encourages interactive partnerships with relevant stakeholders. Its philosophy influences the way that departments are organized and managed (personnel and technologies), encouraging the application of modern management practices for efficiency and effectiveness.
