PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE THIRD ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON CURRENT ISSUES IN COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY DEAL WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLICE AGENCIES AND SOCIAL SCIENTISTS.
Abstract
THE PRIMARY GUIDING PRINCIPLE FOR SELECTION OF PAPERS HAS BEEN WHETHER THE MATERIAL WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE READER'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS, ISSUES AND METHODOLOGIES INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING A WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLICE AND SOCIAL SCIENTISTS: EFFECTIVE APPROACHES FOR PROVIDING CONSULTATION TO POLICE AGENCIES; PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREAS OF CRISIS INTERVENTION AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS; AND METHODS OF ASSESSING AND EVALUATING POLICE SERVICES. TWELVE PAPERS ADDRESSING THESE TOPICS ARE INCLUDED.
