  1. Police Crime and Policing in America How many are cleared - clearance rate? How are they cleared? How many are reported? Why are so few reported and cleared? CJS has little access to crime! What regulates crime? (aging in, aging out)

  2. Police Brief history of police Modern crime and police originate with industrialization and urbanization Surplus populations

  3. Police Policing in America Police and urbanization (and corruption!) Surplus pops move west (low crime rates) Reform and professional police (and alienation!) explain

  4. Police Contemporary Police What police do - patrol The Kansas City experiments - patrol has no effect on crime rates Police and social problems

  5. Police Police Culture (and educ and diversity) Clannishness and alienation (the "blue curtain" and "thin blue line") Racism and police culture (key is segregation) *** Police and Suicide

  6. Police Community Policing Police reform General aims of community policing

  7. Police Summary Because police are the "front line" of the CJS and clearance rates are chronically low, the CJS actually has little access to crime. So nothing that the CJS does or can do is likely to reduce crime very much, if at all. In short, "nothing works” with respect to reducing crime through CJ policy alone.
