Citizen Perspectives on Community Policing by Brian N Williams
A qualitative, non-experimental research design with focus-group interviewing is used to collect, explore, and examine the perceptions and attitudes of East Athens residents and community policing officers. The focus-group technique enables the researchers to gather in-depth data on the expectations of these inner-city residents and the implications for public administrations serving this community. The results of this study examine not only the police service delivery and community policing effort in question, but also more general efforts of implementation and evaluation of public policies.
"The author provides insight into the most important aspect of community-oriented policingSpecifically, he notes and shows that citizen support is a necessary component in the co-production of public services to neighborhood residents. This is an outstanding book. It deals with a topic relevant to communities and police departments across the country." — Wilson Edward Reed, University of North Texas
