Friends of the University of New Haven Library:Dr. Jenkins - 'Bringing Police into the 21st Century'

This video is from the University of New Haven's "Friends of the University of New Haven Library" speaker series. This discussion from October 25, 2012 features Dr. Michael J. Jenkins and was entitled "Bringing Police into the 21st Century: Police Leaders in the New Community Problem-Solving Era".

After 30 years of research championing the community problem-solving (CPS) era of policing, some police practitioners and researchers argue the policing profession has entered a new intelligence-led, predictive policing era. In this lecture, Dr. Jenkins suggests that these innovations do not signal a new policing era and that they are simply attractive additions to a police profession that is slow to adopt CPS policing. Dr. Jenkins presents his research in the Boston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Newark police departments, which reveals the most salient features of a police department’s successful implementation of a CPS strategy in the technologically savvy, post-9/11 and economically downgraded United States.
