Look Inside

Transforming Community Policing: Mobilization, Engagement, and Collaboration, 2nd Edition

Hugh C. Russell, Sulaimon Giwa

“A major contribution to an expanding field in which a clear understanding of a significant shift in the approach to public safety and its practical application are often difficult to come by. The authors’ work is prodigious and extremely valuable.”
 
—Gloria J. Epstein, KC, Court of Appeal for Ontario

Creating sustainably safe neighbourhoods is something even the most effective and efficient police services can’t do alone. Transforming Community Policing demonstrates how police can empower community actors to address complex social issues in a way that fosters community growth and development, minimizing the need for police-led emergency response.

By reviewing theories and philosophies of community policing and translating them into practical strategies, this text will teach readers to recognize social risk factors, foster community development, identify crime trends, and confront today’s challenges to community policing.

Topics such as community mobilization and engagement, risk-focused policing, crime prevention, interagency collaboration, and police legitimacy are explored in terms of the impact they have on communities both in theory and in practice. Supplemented with scenarios based on real-life incidents from communities across Canada, this essential resource will demonstrate how a community policing framework can be applied to all crime and social disorder threats.

Drawing on years of experience and community-based research, authors Hugh C. Russell and Sulaimon Giwa provide readers with the information necessary to promote and maintain communities that are happy, healthy, and safe.

Chapter 1: Communities, Crime, and Social Disorder

“Transforming Community Policing is an excellent text that outlines not only the importance of community policing but also how it can and should be implemented. Many currently serving community policing officers don’t have this level of knowledge and understanding regarding community policing, and this text would be useful for police departments to use in their training.”

— Kelly Bramwell, Mohawk College

“I worked 36 years in policing with 10 in community policing and I found many of my personal experiences reflected in this text.… This text forms the basis for making community work. The author is not shy about dealing with the various roles the community members have and the responsibility that ultimately falls upon them to make a transformation in their own communities.”

— Michael Burns, Confederation College

“Given the current emphasis on police–community relations, this textbook provides an excellent basis on which future police officers can change those relationships into something better.”

— Rick Sinnamon, Conestoga College

“As a police leader with two decades of municipal policing experience … I wish to say that Transforming Community Policing provides the most comprehensive and informative overview of community policing in Canada that I have read to date. Dr Russell provides the insight and a multitude of practical tools enabling community and neighbourhood officers to strengthen relationships, collaborate with community members, and solve problems at a local level. This book strives to showcase methods designed to improve community safety and strengthen police legitimacy. I would recommend this book to any student or professional who has the ambition to learn more about the benefits and future of community policing.”

— Paul B. Rinkoff, PhD

“Almost every chapter highlights the one factor that underpins transformative community policing: relationships. Relying on the latest and best research in “police legitimacy,” plus practical experience with street checks and other police-public interactions, Russell asserts that police cannot simulate community action if their relationships with the community are not positive and strong. Therein lies a challenge for the future of policing.

This is an excellent teaching book. It should be the cornerstone for all justice and police foundations programs and the bible for active police officers.”
