Mission-Based Policing

By John P. Crank

Book Overview

Drawn from the work of scholars on the cutting edge of police research, this volume provides concrete recommendations for the fundamental reorganization of the policing institution. The authors present a comprehensive planning regimen for urban problems that encompasses security, urban reinvestment, and public planning. They introduce an innovative, practical model for problem-oriented policing in high crime areas and outline a specific methodology for police redeployment. Highlighting the importance of hot spot presence, command integrity, and fundamental organizational change, the philosophy's end goal is long term reduction in crime statistics through effective crime prevention practices.
