The change is defined by two developments: the pluralizing of policing and the search by the public police for an appropriate role. Restructuring is taking place under private as well as government auspices and will have profound effects on public safety, equity, human rights, and accountability. The restructuring is being driven by the fear of crime, the inability of government to satisfy society's desire for security, the commodification of security, the increase in mass private property, and cultural individualism. The writers discuss the effects that restructuring will have on society and what trade-offs they represent for public policy, and they conclude with a prediction about the future of policing and suggest policies that are required to avoid restructuring's harmful effects. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
