The relative impotence of traditional, reactive policing methods against changes in the incidence and distribution of street crime and disorder has been a driving force behind community policing. In the process of applying community policing problem-solving strategies toward the “root causes” of this problem, adopting police organizations are finding that they must address a host of noncrime-related actions, as well as some inaction of a range of actors in the community that are perceived by the police and others to either contribute to or facilitate the escalating street chaos in urban environments. In so doing, community police organizations find that they must expand their domain to include the enforcement of social responsibility.
