Social context in police legitimacy
The history of policing in the United States is a history of tension between the police and the public, especially in marginalised communities, where the legitimacy of the police and their interventions has been most questioned. Marginalised and often minority communities often complain about over and under policing, that is, policing that harasses local residents but does not address serious crime. In recent years, concerns with the institutiona…
Revisiting the Classics
As a field of social science research, policing has been fortunate to have a number of influential academic researchers and a rich history of significant writing. This is something to be celebrated
Criminologists on Terrorism and Homeland Security
This volume presents 19 original essays addressing what is widely regarded as the most serious problem confronting America today and for years to come – terrorism – from the unique perspective of criminology. The chapters collected here address such issues as the prevention of terrorism, the applicability of community policing and routine activities models of crime to the problem of terrorism, how to balance liberty and security, and how to think…
Pioneers in police research
The tension between order and change corrodes and destroys many people and their ways, while blowing life into others. It has a vortex of anxiety, excitement, fear, and perhaps of madness. In the c

Drawing upon control theory, school climate theory, and social disorganization theory, this study examined the relative influence of individual, institutional, and community factors on misconduct in Philadelphia middle schools. Using U.S. census data, school district data, police department data, and school climate survey data obtained from the administration of the Effective School Battery to 7, 583 students in 11 middle schools, we examined the…

Street Blocks with more Nonresidential Land Use have more Physical Deterioration
Divergent theories offer two possible connections between nonresidential land use and physical deterioration among urban residential street blocks. Jane Jacobs's model of street blocks indicates that blocks with more nonresidential land use will be better kept; studies of territorial functioning indicate that nonresidential land uses interfere with resident-based informal social control. Here, a comparison of Baltimore and Philadelphia indicates …
Urban Crime Policy
Crime is not a problem of the justice system. Rather, criminal activity results from social factors beyond the direct control of justice agencies. There are limits to the ability of the justice system to reduce crime through more arrests, convictions, and harsher punishments. The authors explore the effects of crime control policy and debate beliefs held by victims of crime. Justice agencies, they argue, can contribute to improving the quality of…
Police and Community Perceptions of the Community Role in Policing
Police and community relations have long occupied the attention of the police and the public. The recent emergence of community policing philosophy emphasises closer involvement of police and community residents, yet to date has ignored the perceptions of the police and the public toward each other's role in affecting social control. Fifty Philadelphia police officers and 24 community residents, participating in a community/police educational pro…

Victim and Offense Characteristics
Research on police decision‐making has traditionally focused on the street‐level police officer's decision to arrest. This decision has often been characterized as one having low visibility and is thus highly discretionary. Although the on‐scene arrest is dramatic and fits the popular conception of policing, a great deal of police work involves follow‐up investigations of citizen complaints. While decisions about the level of investigative effort…
