I think that concepts such as community-oriented policing and problem-policing are old strategies dressed up as new programs. However, with how far technology has advanced I do think that with some of these policies it has represented real change in provision law enforcement services. For example, there have been many different types of problem-oriented policing such as Nixon’s war on drugs. With that policy it was a huge presence of law enforcement in high drug or crime areas, but it also presented many problems with people getting racially profiled or having their rights not taken into consideration. Problem-oriented policing is defined as “an approach to law enforcement that emphasizes identifying and solving specific problems (e.g., speeding, panhandling, drug sales, etc.)” (Worrall, 2015). As I stated back in the day Nixon tried a form of problem-oriented policing which now has a different name, if we think about it these new types of policing that are generated by old ones can be more efficient due to the technology we have. “problem solving is about identifying areas, times of days, specific crimes, individuals” (Worrall, 2015). Using technology such as a crime mapping or identifying repeat offenders, being able to look up people’s crime history is all due to our technology. In short yes, such policies are old strategies dressed up as new programs but because of our technological advances these are real changes in provision of law enforcement.
