Definition(s)

  • Community policing is essentially a conceptual frame for a new paradigm of policing that was developed in academic circles in the United States. The tumultuous events of the 1960s, including mass civil disorder and rising crime rates, prompted political effort to reevaluate police's effectiveness as an institution.
