The Complexities of Community Policing
This chapter examines the historical evolution of community policing as a strategy influenced by radical movements and urban unrest in the 1960s and 70s. It critiques the dual nature of community policing, highlighting how it presents a friendly facade while reinforcing systemic violence and repression within marginalized communities. The narrative further explores the nuanced interactions between police and local populations, especially in racially charged environments, and critiques the efficacy of reforms intended to address deep-rooted social inequalities.
