Strategies and Responses to Crime: Thinking Locally, Acting Globally

Every year, esteemed scholars and practitioners meet at the International Police Executive Symposium to discuss contemporary issues in policing and share ideas about effective strategies in their jurisdictions. Drawn from the proceedings at the Thirteenth Annual Meeting held in Turkey and updated with new developments since the conference, this volume describes how local police agencies are addressing issues of crime that have global implications. Topics discussed include community policing, performance management systems, handling the mentally ill, racial profiling, cybercrime and child sexual abuse, drug trafficking, crime scene management, and emerging administration strategies.
