Abstract

In recent years, community policing as an agenda for policing reform has received a lot of global attention in a series of studies that stretch from organizational reforms to theories of modeling and implementation strategies. Community Policing: International Patterns and Comparative Perspectives, edited by Dominique Wisler and Ihekwoaba D. Onwudiwe represent a geographic anthology of various scholars and practitioners from different disciplines, such as, law, anthropology, criminology and sociology. Together, these policing authorities provided a vast array of thought-provoking and insightful perspectives in this fast extending and exciting arena of policing (see pg. v and xv for list of topics, contributors and background).
