•Military law enforcement and military justice are based on the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) rather than on state or federal criminal codes.

Operational Strategies5.9Police scholar James Q. Wilson proposed that, rather than viewing police behavior as random and independent of community values, the style of policing—and hence the behavior of the police officer—should be viewed as closely related to the type of city government and community expectations.

Focuses on maintaining order and is associated
with declining industrial, blue-
collar communities
According to Wilson, there are three styles of policing:
CJ2015James A. Fagin
Copyright © 2016 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights Reserved
Common Characteristics of Community Policing5.9
1.Focus on decentralized strategies that promote crime prevention rather than rapid response, crime investigation, and apprehension of the criminal
1.Focus on promoting the quality of life of the community and public order rather than law enforcement
2.Use of alternatives other than arrest and force to solve the problem, rather than respond to the symptoms of the problem

Community Policing5.9• Broken Windows Theory
Developed by James Q. Wilson, who believed that ignoring public-order violations and disruptive behavior leads to community neglect, which fosters further disorder and crime
• Zero Tolerance StrategyStrict enforcement of the laws, even for minor violations, with the design to send the message to more serious lawbreakers that if minor offenses are noticed by the police, more serious offenses will surely bring prompt police action

The Main Emphasis of Problem-Oriented Policing5.9
1.Increased effectiveness by attacking underlying problems that give rise to incidents that consume patrol and detective time
2.Reliance on the expertise and creativity of line officers to study problems carefully and develop innovative solutions
3.Closer involvement with the public to make sure the police are addressing the needs of citizens

Policing in the United States is a decentralized system with approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies. There is no central authority in our nation to coordinate law enforcement
activities. This serves as checksand balances of policing powers.
Federal law enforcement agencies are under the administrative control of the executive branch of the federal government. There are three distinctively different types of
federal agencies: military police, Native American tribal police, and civilian police.
State police agencies have jurisdiction that is limitedby state boundaries. State law enforcement agencies are
divided into three types: traffic enforcement, general criminal investigations, and special investigations. Some
state agencies, such as the highwaypatrol, are limited to only traffic enforcement. Other state
police agencies have law enforcement to conduct general and specialized criminal investigations.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
CJ2015James A. Fagin
Copyright © 2016 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights Reserved
The sheriff's office is the oldest local law enforcement agency in the United States. The sheriff is the only head law
enforcement executive who obtains his or her position by election. The sheriff has jurisdiction over
an entire county.
Municipal policing is the most visible and largest type of agency in the United States. These local law enforcement
agencies are responsible for many services, including traffic enforcement, accident investigation,
patrol and response to criminal activity, and order maintenance situations. Police departments have a system of
military-style ranks and a chain of command.

Police recruits are sent to an academy for training and then typically
placed in an in-service field-training program for further evaluation of their aptitudes. Most police departments are
organized by division for patrol, detective services, and support services.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
CJ2015James A. Fagin
Copyright © 2016 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights Reserved
Law enforcement officers have a unique profession because of the facets of shift work, as well as stressors and danger. Law enforcement work is a highly stressful environment and
one in which individuals mayexperience great personal danger, including death. Long-
term interaction with people in crisis can impact an officer's personality and mental health. The threat of injury or death
to law enforcement officers may require an officer to use deadly force.
Special police have limited jurisdictions; examples are airport police, park police, transit police, public school police, game
wardens, and other special investigative units. Private protection services can be hired
through contractors who offer security officers or even private investigators.
5.7
5.8
During the 1960s and 1970s, as crime rates rose, a new strategy called team policing was adopted. Team policing was short-lived, but it served as the foundation of the concept of
community policing. Community policing focuses on preventing crime, dealing with quality-of-life issues, and
solving root causes of problems.
