Enforcing Social Responsibility and the Expanding Domain of the Police: Notes from the Portland Experience.

Williams, E. J.

Crime and Delinquency, v42 n2 p309-23 Apr 1996

In the process of applying community policing problem-solving strategies toward the causes of urban decay, police organizations are finding that they must address a host of noncrime-related actions, as well as inaction by community members. In doing so, community police organizations find that they must expand into the enforcement of social responsibility. (JPS)
