BSM 473 - Collab of Comm & EB Policing

Unit(s): 4

Introduces the concepts, strategies, and programs of community oriented lawenforcement. Students will analyze the theory and practice of a creative and sustainable partnership between the community and law enforcement as a model for service and reducing crime. Progressive new concepts such as procedural justice and values based policing will be explored. Organizing strategies for community outreach, including minority and disenfranchised groups, will be addressed. This course also examines the utilization of time sensitive computer analysis to target criminal trends in terms of incidents, suspects, locations and historical crime data to include predictive policing and “hot spot” mapping. The course will look at the compatibility of Compstat with community oriented policing and explore the potential conflicts, including racial profiling. Other evidence driven strategies and technology supported programs at all levels of government are discussed.
