Abstract

The primary motivation behind the this proposed research proposal study is to determine, whether or not, community oriented policing has any effect, positive or negative, on crime or the fear of crime. Through the use of quantitative research and meta-analysis, we attempt to discover if community policing reduces crime and criminal behavior. In order to gain the most current information, a wide range of sources will be used to gather the required information to conduct the research. Police databases, journals[RW1] , as well as, internetInternet sites will be used in the study. The greatest limiting factor, of this research endeavor, is the lack of research and theory development within community policing.

 

Introduction

Community-oriented policing is a philosophy of policing that emphasizes community involvement in crime prevention efforts, in contrast to the focus of traditional policing on law enforcement and order maintenance (Gill, Weisburd, Telep, Vitter, & Bennett, 2014). Police departments throughout the United States and around the world, have implemented community policing programs in an effort to reduce crime and become more involved in their local communities. In a 1997 Police Foundation survey, all police departments in the U.S. with populations greater than 100,000 who responded reported that they had adopted COP, with 85% of the total sample claiming that they had adopted or planned to adopt it (Skogan, 2004). Such policing efforts, have been touted by community leaders and police officials as being an effective tool against crime and disorder. However, research conducted in the Journal of Experimental Criminology suggest that community policing strategies have positive effects on citizen satisfaction, perceptions of disorder, and police legitimacy, but limited effects on crime and fear of crime (Gill, Weisburd, Telep, Vitter, & Bennett, 2014). Police operating strategies are constantly evolving during the 21^st century. Through trial and error, police administrators retain policies that work and discard those that are not working for the community or department. The key to the police staying on the forefront of crime prevention is to be willing to try new policing strategies. If police leadership is afraid of experimenting with new strategies, then innovation and creativity will be stifled. Problem oriented policing concentrates on solving problems, rather than solely responding to complaints, it offers agencies an opportunity to apply the technique to problems that exist within their organizations, as well as those occurring in their communities (Eisenberg & Glasscock, 2001). One of the drawbacks to problem oriented policing is that it takes too much time for busy patrol officers to problem solve each situation when they are expected to respond to calls for service at a moment’s notice
