Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Citizen-based policing reform emphasizes involvement of the public in the practice of police work, in order to build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. This approach includes community policing, which establishes partnerships between police and citizens to solve community problems and increase public safety. Giving greater authority to the police (A) does not necessarily address the root issues of distrust and often exacerbates them. Standardization of crime control practices (B) is important but it does not necessarily involve citizen participation. A return to traditional police roles, strategies, and tactics (D) does not address the need for community involvement and may not be effective in modern policing.
