Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper on a successful community policing initiative.
Identify a specific community policing initiative that led to a reduction in crime. Detail the specific initiative and how the community assisted law enforcement in solving the problem. Do not use single instances of particular crimes, such as domestic violence issues; this must be a crime problem that affects the community as a whole. This also cannot be just “community policing;” there must be a specific, targeted program that leads directly to a reduction in crime. You must identify the source of your information as well as the required minimum number of peer-reviewed references.
Include at least three peer-reviewed references, none of which can be more than 10 years old that discuss criminal justice in the United States. Additional resources are highly recommended.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Fonts must be Arial or Times New Roman, 10pt or 12pt.
