With over 28 years of experience as a police executive, Dr. Raimundo Socorro has become a transformative leader in redefining modern policing. Early in his career, he was driven by a "crime control" mission, determined to arrest and convict offenders at all costs. However, over time, he discovered a more humane, effective approach-one rooted in Procedural Justice.

While earning his Ph.D. in Leadership, Dr. Socorro deepened his understanding of this method, which emphasizes fairness, transparency, and community engagement. As Dean of the School of Justice at Miami Dade College, he has spearheaded efforts to recalibrate police training, integrating Procedural Justice principles into the academy's curriculum to address the shortcomings of traditional reactive and paramilitary policing models.

Dr. Socorro challenges the outdated "crime control" approach, particularly its reliance on excessive force and its disproportionate impact on minority communities. He introduces a new vision: policing that integrates into the "stream" of community life rather than standing on the sidelines. By understanding the structural and cultural forces that contribute to violence, law enforcement can become active participants in community conflict resolution.

Central to this vision are strategies like focused deterrence and the use of violence interrupters-locally trusted individuals who mediate conflicts at the grassroots level. These efforts create respectful dialogue between law enforcement and communities, breaking down barriers and fostering collaboration.

Procedural Justice prioritizes legitimacy through public trust, emphasizing the importance of fair treatment, impartiality, and transparency. Its core principles-giving the public and offenders a voice, ensuring fairness, demonstrating neutrality, and maintaining transparency-offer a pathway to rebuilding relationships between police and the communities they serve.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
