Part of the Criminal Justice: Recent Scholarship series offering the latest approaches to crime in America, this book examines the decline of community policing. John M. Ray, the Executive Deputy for the Tarrant County Sheriffs Office, argues that while community policing is being rapidly replaced by data-driven technology like COMPSTAT, a rethinking of the theoretical foundation that directs community engagement may result in a resurgence of these practices. He begins by introducing the problems with community policing and then explores the theory of deliberative democracy and how it can be used to inform community policing.
