Making Police Reforms Endure

Making Police Reforms Endure: The Keys for Success presents a framework that other police departments can use and test in their efforts to institutionalize police reforms. The points put forth are based on findings in the authors’ 2007 study of problem-oriented policing in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) Police Department, but have general applicability to various police reforms such as problem-oriented policing, community policing, and accountability measures.
