About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Ron L. Dowell, a lifelong resident of the Watts and Compton areas of Los Angeles, has witnessed from the ground level the devastation wrought by two major riots, both sparked by incidents involving the police. With nearly four decades in public service—including 18 years with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department—Mr. Dowell has a unique perspective on what it takes to prevent rebellion and effectively serve urban communities. Compton 4 Cops was written to help communities make improvements in public safety service delivery. It looks at the most effective (and ineffective) methods of policing and controlling crime in disadvantaged, racially and ethnically diversified urban communities, including how to:
- Reduce and prevent crime
- Bridge the racial divide, and improve relations between community members and local law enforcement
- Increase feelings of safety and trust
- Provide satisfaction that justice is being served
This community-oriented policing model is a promising start to a new way of “policing from the inside.”
Deftly constructed at 242 pages, Compton 4 Cops: Community-Based Crime Fighting in Disadvantaged Racially and Ehtnically Diverse Urban Communities is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Political Science / Public Affairs & Administration category.
