The text has been revised throughout to include the most current developments in the field, including discussions of the 2020 protests and subsequent calls for police reform, and the rapid development of alternative responses for behavioral health and other non-criminal 911 calls. "Spotlight on Community Policing Practice" features throughout the text focus on real-life community policing programs in various cities as well as problem-solving case studies.
