Preface

The ninth edition of Police-Community Relations and the Administration of Justice continues the theme set in the first edition: citizen participation is critical to the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. This is especially true for the police. The police have a unique responsibility to encourage and facilitate citizen participation. This book addresses the internal and external communities served by the police and discusses past, present, and future practices that can create and sustain meaningful and successful police-community relations. Fully updated and revised, this ninth edition features the following:

1. As with earlier revisions, the data and references for this edition have been updated to reflect the current state of policing and police-community relations issues. In addition, there are several new ideas that we have introduced in this edition. We have included these new sections mindful that we should keep the theme of the previous editions of the book of not only synthesizing current state of empirical knowledge but also at the same time enhancing the practicality of the textbooks to increase the tools that police and the community might have to improve on their relationships.

2. We have provided more insights for police to examine police organization’s fit with the communities they serve. The objectives in this first sets of revisions is to provide the readers on the wide arrays of choices that are available for providing police services depending on the community that they serve. In this regard, we have included two major perspectives. We introduced the different types of communities in Chapter 3. Having this foundational knowledge, we begin to present in Chapter 4 the different types of policing models that are available and have been used. Chapter 15 ties up all these concepts on arguing for the right policing models based on the communities and the need of the communities.

3. We have enhanced the information about the dynamics of policing realities and the problems they pose for police community relations. We have discussed the different paradoxes in the police use of their coercive powers and argued that such paradoxes and other challenges that they face are responsible for the quality of police-community relations that emerge. These were done in Chapter 5 where we talked about the dilemmas and grave implications of policing special populations.

4. We have identified the different levels of communications and provide recommendations on how to improve the communications among the police and its various clients. Chapter 8 provides an analysis of the different levels of communications. We have also noted how ineffective communication might bring about distrusts and scapegoating between the police and the public.

5. We have untangled the various relationships between the media and the police including the implications of these relationships in Chapter 11. We have also included a presentation of how the police department can use social media as a tool for police-community relationships. We have also discussed in Chapter 13 how the current assimilation process of immigrants is presenting a challenge in the conduct of policing.

6. Lastly, we have merged Chapters 14 and 15 in order to capture both the problems of the police in enforcing order at the macro-level (i.e., the performance of police function as agents of the state) and at the micro-level where person to person conflicts might strain police community relations.

Summary

When examining the concept of justice, it is easy to understand why there is no “one” working definition for this word. Within this chapter, there are several different philosophies and written documents from which to draw a broad concept for the term justice. Even though it is nearly impossible to ascribe a single common agreement on this word, it is important to understand our country’s view of justice, as well as the rest of the world’s understanding of this virtue as well.Our country has a duty to understand, implement, and enforce laws through its various governmental agencies. Lawmakers are elected by a free citizenry, who in turn construct laws to represent our views on justice. These laws are then used to empower agencies on a federal and state level to enforce various statutes which are agreed upon in the legislative process.The U.S. justice system is a process that was formulated to ensure the rule of law, while protecting the rights of our citizens as defined in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. This process may seem slow and ineffective at times to our citizens. However, the need for justice, as opposed to “speed” is crucial for upholding the democratic principles of this nation.The police structure in this country is broken into the familiar sections of federal and state law enforcement agencies. These organizations work to uphold the laws that were set in place on a federal or state level. Even though there are times when there is an overlap in authority and function of these law enforcement groups, for the most part they work well in carrying out their various mandates set forth by our lawmaking bodies.

Law enforcement often becomes the object of animosity by the citizens against the establishment. The perform roles that are inconsistent with each other (ex. service vs. law enforcement) and at the same time are inconsistent with democratic values (ex. freedom vs. order). Because of these perceptions, police and community relations will continue to be of an adversarial nature in certain cultures within our society. Methods must be implemented to help alleviate tensions, and to increase cooperation between society and police.Police agencies generally reflect the community. If there are problems with the community, there will more than likely be problems within the agency. The reverse of this statement is true as well. Police agencies should continue to lead in areas such as relieving racial tensions between law enforcement and minority groups.The police should make every effort to understand the needs and goals of the community. There also needs to be an understanding as to what role the police officer should play within a community, and what role should not be carried out by law enforcement. Both police and society need to be aware of the dual role of the law enforcement officer: That of services provided by the officer and the enforcement of law for the protection of society.Progress is coming whether we want it to or not. How we face it as a community and as a law enforcement agency will be determined by our flexibility. We must remember that this progress is not a set and determined goal, but a process that will always continue. The media can mediate some of these societal changes that tend to reshape police roles and the changing nature of the communities the police serve.

Summary

Communities based on the systemic provisions of locality relevant functions. This variation on communities suggests that police departments must adapt to the needs of those communities. A harmonious relationship can only emerge with the police aligning the performance of their functions with the types of community that exists.

Police-community relations were built on the foundations of already-existing public relations programs, and like those programs, involved working with the community in ways that leave little or no room for recommending or effecting changes in departmental policies or procedures. In other words, there was no allowance for essential feedback.Police-community work concentrated precisely on the segments of the community (e.g., blacks, lower-class youth, and the poor) that were neglected by the earlier public-relations approach. Because of these previous failures, new attitudes and procedures needed to be implemented in order to correct past mistakes. If police wish to maintain ongoing dialogues with all members of society, community relations must be an ongoing and fundamental aspect of police work.A police agency is part of several systems and is also a system within a system. Each system in society must be engaged by the law enforcement agency to relate properly to it. The task of police-community relations appears increasingly complex as each community is considered. However, understanding the concept of police-community relations, the people who are involved in its process, the systems in which they function, the problems they encounter, and the successes they achieve provides a basis for improving police-community relationships in all communities.

Summary

The difference between public relations and community relations is not always clear-cut. The guidelines presented in this chapter can help an observer to make informed judgments about the nature and purpose of police activities, but only if the activities are studied in the context in which they occur. To what extent do primarily self-serving principles and practices affect a police agency’s receptivity to community output? The answer to this question ultimately determines whether the agency is operating under a public relations or community relations philosophy.Every police agency must rely on public relations to some extent to help ensure its position in relation to other forces at work within the community. Public relation activities can play a valuable role in community relations programs provided they follow strict guidelines of honesty and integrity, and make a goal such as image enhancement subordinate to providing better service.Crime prevention has become a household phrase, although not necessarily a household effort. For crime prevention to be synonymous with police-community relations, crime prevention efforts will need to meet police-community relations goals, something that seldom occurs in practice.The current philosophy in policing maintains the active participation of the police in the provision of safety. Over the years different forms of policing models have emerged that are shaped by the degree of participation by the police in the determination of their safety needs and the provision of that desired safety level. Although government has been permissive in the participation of citizens in policing, the level of this citizen participation remains sporadic despite the prevailing concepts of community policing and policing by consent.

other external organizations. These organizations are constantly affecting change in the other, as has been explored in this section. Some relationships between these various communities are usually competitive, often cooperative, and frequently in conflict.External communities include ethnic minorities, women, gays, youth, the elderly, the poor, religious organizations, civic organizations, labor unions, political organizations, other law enforcement agencies, the media, and a myriad of other community groupings.Internal police communities consist of the following: administrative personnel, support personnel, operational personnel management, civilians, minority groups, men, women, gays, religious groups, college graduates, union members, and other typologies by which individuals and groups may be categorized.To deal effectively with this complex hodgepodge of humanity, the police organization must be run in a fair and competent manner. This must be done in order to balance out all the competing internal interests that occur on a daily basis. Communication is not only the key to the police organization’s success in police-community relations, but to its own survival.

agency’s mission, a successful police officer must understand not only their own agency’s mission, but how this agency is organized as well. Because there are so many groups contained within a police agency, there are many complex and constantly changing relationships to contend with as well. The different functions within the groups, such as operations, administration, and auxiliary services must also be considered when evaluating the police organization.There are a number of possible organizational conflicts to consider when examining the interrelation components of police work, such as staff versus line conflicts, sworn versus civilian conflicts, interunit competition and how to manage inevitable change within the department itself. The categories of insiders with whom the officer must deal (superiors, subordinates, and peers) must not be overlooked. Each category of individual may require different responses on behalf of the officer.To sum up the spoken message: To be successful, police officers (regardless of rank) must be thoughtful, caring individuals who both understand their place within the organization and effectively interact with other people within their particular agency. The effective combination of interaction and understanding are enhanced by an effective bureaucratic structure that is designed to facilitate communication, coordination, and control within the police organization.

Summary

All of the aforementioned programs and the other ones in developmental stages are designed to help cope with problems associated with being a police officer. Police work is filled with paradoxes (i.e. contradictions) that police officers have perceptions of cognitive dissonance. Likewise, traumas associated with police work are real, regardless of one’s background. Even though these issues do not affect a majority of law enforcement personnel in a debilitating way, there are those who have difficulty dealing with the stressful circumstances associated with this high-stress occupation. Individuals within the department need to be aware, through their superiors or human resources, what programs and assistance are available to help them overcome their problems before they become more difficult to handle. As a society we ask much from our officers, and they deserve any support we can give them through excellent training facilities, a competitive salary package, and certainly a comprehensive health benefits program that includes counseling. To give any less would be unacceptable; if we desire the services and protection provided by this organization, it needs to be supported in like.

Summary

The quality of police-community relations depends on the quality of police-community communications. Understanding the elements and the identifying the levels of communication will place participants in a realization about their ability to express their thoughts and aspirations. Ability to identify the level of communication that police and the community has will drive them to pattern their communication to the desired level. Likewise, the level of communication could be a pseudo-representation of the state of police-community relations in a certain jurisdiction.

This section reiterates this position: Communication is an ongoing process, it does not have an ending point and it can be improved on many levels and sectors. Communication occurs on many levels; such as: intrapersonal, interpersonal, person-to-group, organizational, and written. All communication includes the elements of sender, receiver, and message in a situational context.The three basic modes of interpersonal communication are: (1) verbal, (2) non-verbal (paralanguage, kinesics, or body language, and proxemics or communication through the use of personal or social space), and (3) symbolic (the messages conveyed by style of

30

dress, personal appearance, one’s possessions, etc.). An officer must be able to implement these different modes of communication when dealing with citizens in order to fully carry out their duties of service and protection.An effective communicator is someone who not only sends, but receives as well. People hear words much faster than they can speak or listen to them; effective listeners are those who apply their spare thinking time to what is being said. Additionally, it is essential for the listener to “step into the other person’s shoes.” By attempting to empathize with the messenger, a good officer can develop good skills at not just communicating via words, but through listening and gaining some understanding into what the individual is attempting to convey.There are five common blocks to effective communication in police-community relations: community distrust of the police, police distrust of the community, poor training, police organizational issues, and scapegoating. There are also strategies for change that can eliminate or lessen these blocks to communication. Many of these strategies will be further explained in later chapters.

1. A foreigner friend of mine once said, “Americans are poor listeners. As soon as I begin to talk, I can already see in their eyes that they are not even listening; they are anticipating a time when they can simply respond to what I am asking or talking about.” How true do you think this statement is for Americans in general? What about yourself?

Summary

Police administrators will rarely admit that the law is selectively enforced by law enforcement officers. However, the very nature of law and our criminal justice system gives our officers wide discretion in deciding when and how our laws should be enforced. On the administrative and operating levels within the department, there are often very good reasons for selective law enforcement (e.g., budgetary constraints, outdated statutes) and on occasion, some very bad reasons (e.g., bias against a segment of the community).To prevent abuses, selective law enforcement policies should be formulated and implemented in an open, orderly manner. The means for accomplishing this exists. Such action would benefit both the police and the community and would increase the positive nature of their ongoing relationship.

Would this bring a more balanced approach?

Summary

The provision of police services in the United States has seen considerable changes over the past two centuries. Initially, citizens were responsible for policing themselves, due to lack of adequate police organizations capable of providing police services. As police organizations have evolved, they have utilized a variety of service delivery styles. Unfortunately, efforts to enhance discipline, effectiveness, and efficiency have too frequently resulted in isolation from the communities being served. Today’s community policing strategies seek to restore the ties to those communities.Like its predecessors, community policing as a model of police service delivery is in a constant state of evolution. Problems of conceptual complexity and difficulty of implantation have yielded mixed results among strategies utilized thus far. Police scholars and practitioners are currently seeking to develop a community policing model that addresses these issues. Despite these challenges, community involvement in the delivery of police services is the police style of the future.There are several observations that tend to persist in the examination of the evolution of policing. Definitely the technology, both soft and hard, have evolved but the basic principles remain the same. Police-community relations remain the backbone of effective policing. Early policing with its hue and cry have evolved into the Amber Alert but the principle of the community responding to the call for participation in apprehending suspects remain the basic strategy. Likewise, crime prevention as both a police goal and a community relations tool was the centerpiece of community policing efforts.

Summary

The media represent a principal link between police agencies and the public they serve. Media impact on virtually every citizen is enormous, and crime news is a major media topic. Except for the relatively few people who become directly involved with the police, private citizens learn of police activity, of crime prevention, of the pursuit and apprehension of criminals, and their disposition in the courts by what they read in their newspapers and see and hear on television and the radio. All of these media outlets influence American citizens when it comes to their perceptions of the police.Even though there are times when conflict arises between the services provided by the police and media, these institutions both have an interest in the security of its citizens and the preservation of law and order in society. The First Amendment provides the right to having a free press. There is also the balance of allowing those who are in a court of law to have a fair trial; where the person being convicted of a crime be protected from having public opinion turn against them and result in a biased trial. The police are usually in the middle of this conflict, and should therefore come up with guidelines in which to conduct official policy in regards to law enforcement issues with the media.When terrorist attacks, riots, or kidnappings take place, there needs to be “rules” in which the media can abide by without having their right to cover a story effectively censured. Police also need to understand the role of media within the bounds of a free society. Even

though there will be conflicts from time to time, it is essential that media outlets be able to conduct their affairs as along with the police, and perform their duties to the public.

Summary

Many resources are available to help police meet the needs of special populations. Some may be used intact; others will require adjustments to meet specific needs. New resources will be developed. The agency that truly wishes to successfully meet the needs of the young, the elderly, the disabled, and the homeless will need to address the following areas when planning and delivering services:

1. Increased training of officers in developmental issues of special populations, in self- awareness, and in strategies for meeting the needs of even difficult-to-reach individuals in these populations.

2. Ongoing awareness of community resources.3. Planning and implementation of programs that actively involve special

populations and foster their input and interaction in a meaningful way in all stages of development and delivery.

4. Planning and implementation of programs that do not increase fear or reduce quality of life.

5. Increased efforts on the part of all officers to build interpersonal relationships with special populations within the community.

Student Checklist

Summary

People usually behave in culturally defined ways, and their behavior can often be understood in the context of culture. Positive police-community relations are easier to achieve in a community that is relatively culturally integrated. They are most difficult to achieve in fragmented communities that are culturally diverse and where cultural rules are in transition and unclear.We rarely have the ideal as an option, but even in the most fragmented community an aggressive ongoing program for improving community relations in the context of culture can be effective. The key elements of a successful program include: appreciating the cultures; understanding the language(s); getting involved in meaningful ways; making a firm, full commitment; and creatively overcoming barriers.It is important to remember that we are one culture as well as many. We have some basic values and goals in common. We share common feelings of anger, sadness, happiness, and fear. We also wish to be valued and to belong.

Summary

Order maintenance is one of the most difficult aspect of police work. It involves clashes of people’s rights and the duties of the state to maintain peace. Change and resistance to change are part of every system. For change to occur, some amount of “deviance” takes place and the “normal way of things” is disturbed. Dissent—acts designed to bring about needed social, legal, and political change—grows out of the people’s own will to be in charge of their destiny.The political view of letting people dissent is a precarious one. People have to be able to express themselves through various means; if there is no outlet to have “one’s” voice heard, things could become violent. Letting citizens protest is like letting the steam out of a kettle; better it be let out in a responsible and measured way rather than in violent clashes with police officers.Police officers must be mentally ready to face such situations within a democracy, either to protect an unpopular group (such as the KKK), or dealing with disenfranchised people at the WTO protests. Knowing your boundaries, protecting the rights of citizens to dissent, and maintaining a peaceful environment can make for a much safer and better atmosphere for our country’s varied political, social, and religious beliefs.Conflict management will become an increasingly vital area of police work in the new century as the U.S. population expands and changes. Disputes will continue throughout these changes and police need to be aware of the social, economic, and ethnic changes which are rapidly occurring in our country.Police need to develop and maintain good working relations with civic organizations, churches, the media, and other neighborhood organizations to help in assisting them when trouble starts. These departments, in conjunction with some of these various institutions, need to conduct training of specialized persons to handle conflict management.

Police must use other options besides the power to arrest when dealing with unrest. An officer with good communication skills can deal with a problem before it becomes a crisis. By using all the resources available to an officer, and using them in proportion to the situation, it will usually make for a much better outcome rather than “fighting fire with fire.”

As long as the criminal justice system fails to do what citizens expect it to do, demands for community control/participation will exist. Because police, or indeed the justice system as a whole, cannot function properly in a free society without the help and support of the people it serves, community participation is essential for success.Many models of community participation already exist. The trend is evolving towards the greater participation of communities in the definition of safety as well as the decision on how these safety needs could be satisfied. Choosing the “best” model in a specific situation is a matter of understanding the unique characteristics of the community, its citizens, and its criminal justice system.

Chapter 1 Essay

Answer the following questions.

1. Discuss the need for justice.

Answer: The authors note that nations cannot exist without systems of justice. In addition,

these systems must be acceptable to those who are governed. There must also be a belief among

those who are governed that obeying the government and its rules is preferable to disobedience

because disorder in society will result in negative consequences. Disobeying a government and

avoiding compliance with rules and regulations could result in a very dangerous situation such as

a rebellion or a situation in which the strong take advantage of the weak. In evaluating a system

of government in terms of justice at least two factors should be taken into consideration. For

example, do the citizens have basic human rights as needed to survive in a society? These

include food, shelter, and medical care which are critical to function in any society. In addition,

how extensive are the civil rights afforded the citizens of a society. These civil rights should

include the right to be treated equally, the right to speak freely and express oneself, and a basic

protection against government abuse. It is obvious that without a just society or a feeling of fair

treatment among its citizens, a society will be replete with complex problems endangering its

existence.

2. Discuss various types of justice.

Answer: There are different types of justice found in a society. For example, social justice is

rendering to everyone that which is due. Social justice may be either distributive or

commutative. Distributive justice seeks to distribute items of value fairly in a society.

Commutative justice seeks to ensure equality among citizens. Civil justice refers to the system

that regulates the relationships between individuals and focuses on the regulation of noncriminal

behaviors within society. Interestingly, it is in the area of civil law that the poor and the middle

class are more likely to experience inequitable treatment. Restorative justice seeks to mitigate

adverse relationships between individuals. It seeks to avoid formal adjudication by using

arbitration to resolve conflicts. Restorative justice may take place in lieu of civil litigation, and it

may also be used as an alternative to criminal prosecutions. Criminal justice is the system that

the readers of this text are interested in and it interacts with other systems of justice. The

criminal justice system is a system that relies on procedural laws as well as substantive laws.

Procedural law relates to how substantive law may be applied while substantive law refers to

particular forms of behavior. No matter what type of justice is present, the fact remains that the

concept of justice is one that is valuable to the maintenance of an orderly society.

Answer: One of the major principles of the American Constitution is that of federalism which

means that citizens of the United States are affected by two main types of government, one being

the national or federal government and the other being the state government. Federalism has

resulted in the United States having a large number of different police agencies. For example,

there are 100 different federal police agencies. The largest of the federal police agencies are

formally located within the Justice Department and the Treasury Departments. Examples of

federal agencies which relate to law enforcement are the Drug Enforcement Administration, the

U.S. Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation which is primarily an

investigative agency. The Department of Homeland Security is rather recent in coming on the

scene being created in 2002, in an effort to better counter terrorism. In addition to federal

agencies the states, counties, and cities have their own police forces. This is a result of the Tenth

Amendment which reserves the police power to the states. Every state with the exception of

Hawaii has a state police force of some type. Most counties in the United States have a sheriff’s

department. Sheriffs are usually elected to their position. However, the majority of law

enforcement officers are employed by a city or municipality. Most of the municipal police

departments are small having ten or fewer officers. Yet such departments are very important

because citizens are more likely to have contact with them than any other type of law

enforcement agency.
