The Move to Community Policing
Making Change Happen
- Merry Morash - Michigan State University, USA
- J. Kevin Ford - Michigan State University, USA
Community policing continues to be of great interest to policy makers, scholars and, of course, local police agencies. Successfully achieving the transformation from a traditional policing model to community policing can be difficult. This book aims to illuminate the path to make that change as easy as possible. Morash and Ford have produced a contributed anthology with original articles from a variety of well-known researchers, police trainers and leaders.
They focus on:
- Recent research for developing data systems to shape police reform
- Changing the police culture to implement community policing
- Creating partnership strategies within police organizations and between police and community groups for successful community policing
- Anticipating future challenges
I useful book covering much of our programme.
I am still looking through it but will definately be recommending it to our students.

The COPPS comunity policing and problem -solving adaptations are included in this text book and it gives the victimology students a look at where policing may be headed in the near future. I think it has a companion web site to assist the Instructor.
