Document Summary
Goff - criminal justice in canada: chapter six. One-size-fits-all approach: treated all crimes in all places in exactly the same way. Police reacted quickly in middle and upper class communities but residents of the working class communities had difficult experiences with the police. Legal cynicism: cultural orientation in which the law and its agents are viewed as illegitimate, unresponsive and ill equipped to ensure public safety. Proactive: police need to collect and analyze information in order to understand the nature of crime: led to changes. Multi-agency policing: partnerships with other criminal justice agencies. Crime-attack strategies: focus on specific types of criminals in specific areas at specific times in order to prevent or interrupt crimes and arrest criminals. The professional model of policing: the reactive approach. Response time were thought to make or break good policing. Police patrol goals: maintenance of a police presence in the community, a quick response to emergencies, detection of crime.
