  1. Securing communities: the what and the how of community policing

    Publication - Research reports and studies - 24 July 2013
    Lisa Denney and Sarah Jenkins
    Community policing has gained popularity amongst donors, governments, police departments and communities as a mechanism for achieving a diverse range of goals – from crime reduction to improved state-society relations.
