CRJ 757 Fall 2007
“The police are the public and that the public are the police; the police being only members of the
public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen.” Sir Robert Peel founded the police on this principle. Today, most doubt the reality of this sentiment and many even question the ideal behind it. From the founding of modern police to the present day, this class examines the relationship between the police and the community. A focus will be on police in urban minority communities.
