Environmental justice (EJ) activists have long worked with abolitionists in their communities, critiquing the ways policing, prisons, and pollution are entangled racially constituted. Yet, much EJ scholarship reflects a liberal Western focus on more equal distribution of harms, rather than challenging underlying systems exploitation these harms rest upon. This article argues that policing facil...

299 Community Policing in America: Changing the Nature, Structure, and Function of the Police

New experimental evidence shows that policing behaviour by dominant monkeys stabilizes and integrates macaque societies.

Hymenopteran societies are non-clonal. As a result, there is potential conflict among individuals or groups of individuals over reproduction. One area of conflict is male production. In most eusocial Hymenoptera, workers cannot mate but retain functional ovaries. Hence, workers can manipulate their colony's male production simply by laying eggs. Individual workers should gain from causing the c...

An influential body of research into policing and security has suggested that routine policing in Western European democracies has been subject to a process of ‘securitisation’. Securitisation refers to the identification of ‘existential threats’ which require emergency powers and extraordinary counter-measures outwith ‘normal’, democratically accountable, government (Weaver, 1996). Such is the...

In this paper we explore, via an extensive simulation study, the performance of Call Admission Control (CAC) and Traffic policing mechanism proposed for transmitting multiple-layered videoconference movies over a wireless channel of high capacity, depending on the user’s needs and requests. We focus both on MPEG-4 and H-263 coded movies, and in the latter case our scheme achieves high aggregate...

Packet classification plays an important role in nextgeneration Internet routers in providing various services such as packet filtering, policy routing, traffic policing, and load balancing. In this paper, we propose an original field-level trie classification (FLTC) scheme that accommodates classifier (rule database) with multiple fields specified in different forms (prefix and range). The FLT...

W e propose a microeconomic approach to service provisioning in ATM networks. Our provisioning procedure consists of two algorithms, one executed by the network and the other by individual users. The network offers directly for rent its bandwidth and buffers. Users purchase freely resources to meet their desired quality based on their own trafic parameters and delay requirements. The network pe...

Departments considering the move to community oriented policing must collect systematic data to help in their strategic planning deliberations. One method for gathering useful data is through the collection of survey information from officers in the department. The Michigan State University (MSU) School of Criminal Justice, in cooperation with various police departments throughout the state of ...

In the overzealous drive to criminalize and target the homeless for offences that are mostly related to their poverty status, this article makes the argument that homelessness produces targets for policing, and by extension, punishment. Drawing upon empirical evidence carried out in England, this article highlights the challenges that having no fixed abode presents within the criminal justice s...
