Putting POP to the pavement: captains in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department share their experiences

摘要

Problem‐oriented policing (POP) has been in existence for approximately 30 years. Very little research has examined officer perceptions pertaining to their engagement in POP. This research utilizes interviews with captains in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to explore officer behaviors and perceptions pertaining to their engagement in POP. A content themes analysis conducted on the captain interviews provides a discussion regarding what the captains feel is necessary to successful POP projects, what they feel has contributed to the success/failure of their projects, what they have learned from their engagement in POP efforts, how they have implemented POP and how they supervise officers engaging in POP.View full textDownload full textKeywordsproblem‐oriented policing, officer perceptions, POP, problem‐solvingRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15614263.2010.497354
