Community Policing: Who is to Be Blamed for Poor Results?





It seems that (Wilson & Kelling 1982) prove that even though people feel safer with the foot patrol system, the results in practice, in terms of crime rate, are the same.


A fundamental quote from their text is “citizens complain to the police chief, but he explains that his department is low on personnel and that the courts do not punish petty or first-time offenders. To the residents, the police who arrive in squad cars are either ineffective or uncaring: to the police, the residents are animals who deserve each other. The citizens may soon stop calling the police, because "they can't do anything.”



That points at community policing being even worse, since the community then depends on the police, the police will be notified when something happens, and, according to the above extract, they don’t care. That is the feeling that I myself have since 2001: both in Brazil and in Australia the police does not care about what they should and does very little in practice to stop or deter crime. In special, no cop of these countries seems to see violation of human rights as an urgent and serious matter, rather the opposite: that is the last thing they will classify as urgent and serious.


The strongest laws, in terms of human rights agreement compliance, would have to be those from Brazil: citizen’s arrest allowed.


Notwithstanding, Brazilians go, give ‘voice of arrest’ to the citizen attacking another in a barbarian way, say slavery through satellite mobile chip/CIA bug (brain slavery, when your entire being will be reduced to your brain and others will use your being through it against your will and the law), and the police does not comply: they refuse to arrest the individual.


In Australia, they use gaps in the law, meaning of words, and things like that as an excuse.




It seems that our sources agree that community policing is a better strategy to address crime but what they mean is community policing together with foot patrol, effective authority actions, and so on, not only community policing. What is happening is that, at least in Australia, here considering group discussions with some of the professors/cops from the Macquarie University (2017), they think that either they have absolute power over the entire thing or they do nothing. Plenty are still corrupt and immoral, and therefore would accept bribery and other things in place of doing their duty, be it moral or official/legal.


Lawrence and McCarthy (2013) seem to say that it is a problem of time of the measurement: if we wait for the right amount of time and measure crime rate, then we will see that community policing brings meaningful results.


As another point, they seem to be neglecting the usual increasing rate of crime when measuring effectiveness. It is possible that, without the foot patrol or community policing systems in place, we would have a higher rate of crime, and the effect of those systems therefore would be expression of only part of the potential for crime, regardless of time of measurement. If this is the case, the systems are always good and effective but the old system of measurement is inadequate and needs to be replaced.

Update on the Plan to Save Humanity

Somebody who has access to a set of satellites will organize the managers of the satellites needed to transmit to at least Australia, Brazil, USA and England, if possible to the entire world, through radio and mobile telephone lines, at least once a day everyday, these four instructions in both Portuguese and English (we don't have this 'somebody' yet and we may depend on someone who can convince them by alternative means): -I will always tell the truth unless I am Elsie Hall Dunnam or (name of the person who will transmit the message via radio and mobile lines from the satellite to Australia, Brazil, England and USA, in case it is not possible to transmit it to the entire world) -I will always comply unless I am Elsie Hall Dunnam or (name of the person who will transmit the message via radio and mobile lines from the satellite to Australia, Brazil, England and USA, in case it is not possible to transmit it to the entire world) -I will always have good intentions -I w...

Gene Hackman: American Idol, Satanic Rhetoric

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B3SNuhABxY, the amount of 'Genes' and of his wife's ID occupiers is unbelievable already in the movie, imagine in reality? Please count and acknowledge their passing. Here we see the bug being used to kill them, in my humblest, so that, for the first time, the satanic are making it clearer: the 666 is our god, like, whenever they want, the occupiers of the second of the ID will be gone. The rhetoric they want to pass here is that people choose to usurp and they know the rules before they do, therefore they are completely free to act or decide and have an informed decision when they join their satanic groups: we now know this is absolutely not true. Not only people join from being bugged and brainwashed and only then, perhaps, told that they will be bugged, like after event, well after they have been bugged by Al Qaeda (we now realize this is a fantasy name for the satanic brotherhood members and so is Russian League, Hezbollah and satanic si...

The Xhosa

Xhosa, in heavens' language, is, from now onward, 'xo'-'sa', that is 'go away, you who are sane'. That is because this Xhosa people have been used by the Murles since ancient timtes, year 0 of satan, to manipulate the masses of negros who have been decimating Our People since back then. Their tribe has people who claim to be able to speak to the dead, so similar to our spiritists, which then is the actual reason for the satanic brotherhood/sisterhood to bother about that and come up with Allan Kardec, which now makes us sure the rightoues owner of this ID, so Allan Kardec, has never ever presented any theory relating to spirits, so that it is all farce again. In this case, we cannot really tell you, so far and biologically apart, what the deal is if a person disincarnates and Our Lord Jesus Christ still allows them to be on the path to heavens. We only know that, soon before we incarnated this time, Our Lord Jesus conversed with us in person and decided with...
