Résumé

"The phrase “law and order” can be misleading because it draws attention away from the incompatibilities between the two ideas. Order achieved through democratic policing is concerned not only with the ends of crime control, but also with the means used to achieve those ends. Responses to shooting incidents often highlight the underlying fears of the population being policed. Those people should send a signal to police executives that the balance between the two ideas may have shifted too much in one direction. As we approach the millennium, most European people are free from the tyranny of fascism and communism. As most people around the world are moving toward freedom, American policing ideas and American police practices inevitably become a model for democratic policing. Democratic policing is always in a tension among the touchstones of public safety, openness, and accountability. As the police enforce the laws of democratic governments in a free society, the balance among these touchstones should be properly maintained to reflect democratic values."--Includes text from Conclusion.
