Study Notes

Third-Party Policing

Goldstein's Hierarchy of Coercion: A framework for determining the level of police coercion required to address problems. Ranges from educational programs to civil actions.
Third-Party Policing: Shifting responsibility for crime prevention to third parties (e.g., landlords, bar owners)
Leveraging Legal Levers: Police utilize legal tools to encourage cooperation, such as civil code enforcement.
Cincinnati Code Enforcement Response Team (CERT): A program demonstrating the use of legal levers against business owners for compliance.
Problem Bars: Police use coercion through civil code enforcement, such as declaring a bar a nuisance, to hold bar owners accountable for crime prevention.

CHEERS Test

CHEERS: A helpful acronym for identifying genuine problems requiring CPOP projects, ensuring focus on recurring problems.
Community: The events should impact the community.
Harmful: The events cause harm to people or institutions.
Expectation: The community expects police intervention.
Events: The problem should be clearly defined & the events that constitute it.
Recurring: The harmful events happen repeatedly.
Similarity: The harmful events share common characteristics.

Identifying Neighborhood Problems

Community Role: Community members play a vital role in identifying problems, as they experience them directly and may report incidents unreported to police.
Collaborative Approach: Police and communities work together to address identified problems through CPOP projects.
Community Involvement: Partnerships with community groups enhance police-community relations and allow stakeholders to participate in policing decisions.

Partnering with Local Businesses

Business Involvement: Local businesses can collaborate on problem responses because they may be affected by crime or contribute to crime opportunities.
Business-Led Solutions: Businesses may be better positioned to address issues stemming from their own operations.
Neighborhood Business Districts: Examples of business groups taking proactive steps to improve their areas through funding and improvements.

Drawing on Other Governmental Agencies

Inter-Agency Collaboration: Collaboration with other city agencies (e.g., Buildings and Inspections, Public Health) is crucial to address various issues contributing to problems.
Analysis Phase: Identifying relevant agencies during problem analysis ensures effective utilization of their expertise.
Response Phase: Defining each agency's role in the response to address the identified problem.

Third-Party Policing: Extending the Reach

Beyond Law Enforcement: Partnerships with non-law enforcement entities (community groups, businesses) can effectively address certain problems.
Accountability: Police may need to hold individuals, businesses, or groups accountable for their role in problem creation.
Coercion Levels: The level of police coercion depends on the cooperation of the entity responsible for the problem.
