One hardcopy reading is on reserve in the soci computer lab. It's: Van Maanen, John. 1978. "The Asshole." Pp. 221-228 in P. Manning and J. Van Maanen (eds.), Policing: A View from the Street. Santa Monica: Goodyear. Here are a few pieces that might support the view that the "public service" model might be more effective than the "crime control" models. Here is one article on theroots of community policing that you might want to compare with this one on the philosophy of community policing. In class, we mentioned the recent problems in Florida prisons. Although we'll address these issues in November, here are a few of the articles I drew my comments from: 1. The Hanging in the cell 2. The Murder on Death Row 3. The felony records of Florida's prison guards. 4. A summary of the prison problems in Floriday. NOTE: I'll likely add a few (non-required) news articles on police about Tuesday that came up in class.
