Collaborative Policing

A collection of chapters authored by internationally known police leaders, academics, researchers, and professionals, this book focuses on the fact that the two worlds of practice and research are moving closer and closer. Using in-depth interviews and case studies demonstrating fruitful police–academic collaboration, it explores methods and programs for improving the quality of services provided by the police. It shows you not only that collaboration can occur, but that it can also enhance police service, which in turn improves the quality of life for the communities they serve.
