          NIJ-SponsoredThe State of the Police Field: A New Professionalism in Policing?
    
        June 2010
      
            Panelists debate the premise of a Harvard Executive Session working paper that suggests police organizations are striving for a "new" professionalism. Leaders are endeavoring for stricter standards of efficiency and conduct, while also increasing their legitimacy to the public and encouraging innovation. Is this new? Will this idea lead to prematurely discarding community policing as a guiding philosophy?Curbing Police Brutality: What Works?
