SOC326H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Major Crimes, Compstat, .Rs
Document Summary
In light of the complexities of crime as it is happening globally, police experts are advocating for using other individuals that would best help policing. Policing began with a very broad definition and became more narrow policing is now turning back to a broader definition. Fundamental restructuring of policing have impacted current practice. Throughout the 20th century, each policing model has been framed as a reaction to alleged failures to prior models. Police scholars became aware that these models are available strategies police can use to face specific problems; not permanent, one-model only. It makes more sense to see police moving into the direction of a safety and security web. This is the loosening the idea of policing not to just cover the justice system but also now the education system and local healthcare providers. The canadian police system is fairly different then the us. The rcmp is relatively unique than the rest of the police in canada.
