1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Resource for Law Enforcement, November 10, 2001

By	Colin Cleary (Harrisburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book reads like a series of articles one would find in a free local shopper newspaper. Many of the chapters are only a page or two long, and none of the ideas presented are explored in any detail. The book presents some common sense ideas about community policing, but these ideas are so basic any entry level criminal justice text will cover them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Community Policing Guide in print., July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This book is one of the best I have seen in print. It is easy for the average citizen to read. It is filled with good ideas, thoughts, and concepts about community policing. -Well done! Does the author have other books? Good start-up for police officers and citizens who want to bring their local police and residents together. Thanks.

2.0 out of 5 stars mediocre at best, July 23, 2005

By	D "dbosig" (CT United States) - See all my reviews

The review from Nov 2001 hit it on the head. Formulaic, although easy to read. Yes, some good info, but very simplistically presented. Also, a bit of an ego issue here as the author apparently feels his philosophical musings carry the same weight as Plato or Lincoln. Along the same lines, it is AMAZING how many ground-breaking community police initiatives were apparently newsworthy from the community of Nutley, New Jersey (the one the author happens to hail from).
