Special attention will be lent to illustrate the effectiveness of the paramilitary style of dress, loyalty, and discipline in relation to the traditional style of policing in America; casting particular illumination on the organizational structure of the traditional police department. In addition, the solid, familial bond of brotherhood and sisterhood that exists within the casing of the traditional style of policing will also be presented and explained. Community oriented policing is the second side of policing that we are going to deal with; focusing on its American roots, effectiveness, and future direction of community-oriented policing. A brief biographical sketch will be painted of the person who many law enforcement researchers and analysts have credited with the implementation of the community-oriented model of policing. His basis, reasoning, and a cross-section of his 9 Policing Principles will also be discussed.
Community Policing: a Partnership in Law Enforcement Since the creation of the first modern American city police force in New York City in 1844, law enforcement agencies throughout the country have been charged with the responsibility of maintaining order within society and protecting the citizens within their jurisdiction from the criminal element. Over the years since then, the law-enforcement model has changed and evolved in response to the changing demands of society. The current trend in the policing model, community policing, has proven thus far to be one of the most successful and widely used models throughout the history of law enforcement. Community policing can be defined as a "philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime" (US Department of Justice, 2008). In essence, the concept of community policing is to create a partnership between formal law enforcement and the community of citizens it is charged with protecting in an effort to reduce crime, decrease fear in the community, and to solve crime related problems within society.

Summary of Policing In America Chapter’s 1 – 3 I found chapters 1-3 of “Corrections in Brief” to be very insightful as to how corrections was formed, and how it has transformed into the industry as we know it today. When I first began reading these chapters, one of the first questions I had was “how is corrections defined?” After reading chapter one I learned that corrections is defined as an institution in which society send those members who are in violation of established laws. I think one of the main purpose of corrections is to hold violators of crimes accountable for those crimes that he/she commits against society. And the main focus of corrections should be on rehabilitating violators of the law from a life a crime, while teaching
The protection of individual liberties were(and still are) highly emphasized in America, therefore limits were placed on governmental and police authority. In the American system of law enforcement, police are controlled at the local, state, and federal level, although the majority of departments are local municipalities. A related defining feature of American policing adopted from English heritage is that of a highly decentralized and fragmented system of law enforcement. Police in America changed dramatically during the twentieth century. There are three principle forces that underline this change: police professionalism, modern technologies, and the civil rights
