From the Back Cover:

"An excellent collection that combines the theoretical underpinnings of community policing with recent research on the reality of community policing as implemented at various municipalities." -- Darek Niklas, Rhode Island College

"Once again, Community Policing: Contemporary Readings lives up to its name by giving us a truly contemporary overview. This book will continue to serve as the leading collection on the subject." -- Willard Oliver, Radford University

"Of all the edited volumes on policing (and community policing), this collection of essays is unique and informative. It does a great job of touching on the critical issues and barriers associated with community-oriented policing. Unlike similar publications, it escapes redundancy and addresses the real issues that researchers and practitioners face." -- Allison Chappell, University of Florida

"A good mixture of topics and scholars. It makes a very nice compilation that offers background, practice, and future dimensions." -- Mark L. Dantzker, University of Texas, Pan American
