Title: Community Policing and Changes in the Organizational Structure
Abstract: This paperreviews arguments made by advocates of community policing concerning the need for organizational changes in the structure of police agencies. It examines how the organizational model produced in the previous period of reform lead agencies to develop a formidable command-and-control bureaucracy that deemphasized citizen concerns, and explores some of the internal and external consequences of these developments. Finally, elements of resistance to the community policing movement are surveyed and the broader social context surrounding the community policing movement is noted.
