Title: The politics of community policing
First published: 1999
Description: "In an in-depth examination of community policing in Seattle, William Lyons explores the complex issues associated with the establishment and operation of this increasingly popular approach to policing urban communities. Specifically, the author examines the degree to which community policing strengthens those communities most victimized by crime or, conversely, reflects and enhances the power of those already in privileged positions."--BOOK JACKET.

"The Politics of Community Policing will be of interest to political scientists and sociologists engaged in the study of community power and local politics, criminologists studying police-community relations, and scholars in various fields interested in discursive analysis, social capital, or urban political reform."--BOOK JACKET.
