             INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY-BASED POLICING.
             "In Philadelphia, a pulsating tavern juke box that has caused irate neighbors to.
             log 500 Police calls in six months, was moved away from a common wall with the.

             Community (Kelling, Moore, pg-5).
             Reform style Policing emerged in the 50s and 60s with rotating shifts and.
             frequent movement of officers, (to prevent corruption). Random patrolling (a.
             reactive police technique) was also detrimental to the link between Police and.
