Document Summary
Definition: police & community work together to make and use solutions for crime, 3 features. Decentralization of the org: tackle issues of social disorder. Community: defn: real or imagined, live/work/play in a certain geographic area or neighbourhood. Origins of order: shift that police shouldn"t work against public but someone they can work w, partnership, public self policing. Brings about change in status as well. Org relations b/w key community figures and police. Solutions & accountability: what needed in specific communities, accountability to implement these solutions, focus on low level disorder, less finger pointing when something goes wrong. Police/community relations: some places/ppl where this wouldn"t work. Informal controls: all prone to criminality but things exerted on us that stop us from committing the crime, done by ppl in our lives that don"t have formal consequences, maintenance of order done by those in the public/community.
