Mission-Based Policing

Presenting the first new model for comprehensive redeployment of American policing in 90 years, top scholars in modern policing outline a plan based on stopping crime instead of merely responding to it. Unifying several security models, the book examines COMPSTAT, Boba's redesign of problem oriented policing, a population centric model of counterinsurgency by Nagl and Patreaus, and the integrative model of citizen involvement in crime and community well- being. It also considers a police command structure deployed according to the locations of serious crimes.
