"This is one in a series of reports originally developed with some of the leading figures in American policing during their periodic meetings at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. The reports are published so that Americans interested in the improvement and the future of policing can share in the information and perspectives that were part of extensive debates at the School's Executive Session on Policing (1985-1991)."--Page 1.

Summary
"The purpose of this paper is to facilitate the search for a corporate strategy of policing that can deal with the principal problems now besetting urban communities: crime, fear, drugs, and urban decay. The paper first explores the strengths and limitations of the corporate strategy that has guided policing for the last 50 years-a strategy that has been characterized (perhaps caricatured) as "professional crime fighting." It then contrasts this concept with three other concepts that have been discussed, and to some degree developed, within Harvard's Executive Session on Policing. The other concepts are "strategic policing," "problem-solving policing," and "community policing.""--Page 2.
