Now includes a chapter on Community Crime Prevention. Profiles feature community policing programs in various cities, and problem-solving case studies cover special topics. Includes: The Ten Principles of Community Policing. Includes ten principles of community policing, profiles in community policing, and problem-solving case studies.
