Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Community policing involves partnerships between law enforcement agencies and the community, including community organizations, businesses, and government agencies, to address crime and other issues affecting the community. Working together to repair urban decay is an example of community policing.

Answer: A 
 Taking seriously even minor crimes, such as public drunkenness, is an example of community policing as it involves a focus on quality-of-life crimes and proactive problem-solving rather than just reactive responses to serious crimes.

Answer: C 
 The installation of burglar alarms is not necessarily an example of community policing as it focuses on individual crime prevention rather than building partnerships and addressing community-wide issues.

Answer: D 
 Public shaming of offenders is not an example of community policing as it does not involve partnerships and problem-solving between law enforcement and the community. Additionally, public shaming is not an effective or ethical method of crime reduction.
