NEW YORK – February 28, 2017 – Morgan James’s new release, Actively Caring for People Policing: Building Positive Police / Citizen Relations by E. Scott Geller and Bobby Kipper, argues for a paradigm shift in policing practices.

The negative, reactive face of law enforcement is highlighted in a society where police culture is typically defined as a system ruled by punishment and detainment. Geller and Kipper challenge this image with a positive proactive approach to policing. Rather than through primarily punitive means, crime should be quelled by growing a society where residents rely on and look after one another.

Police play a key role in creating a community of compassion. Geller and Kipper instruct how to create an Actively Caring for People (AC4P) culture. Inspired by behavioral science, Actively Caring for People Policing imparts seven critical lessons, real-world examples, and exercises for applying the lessons in readers’ communities. Law enforcement relations have been particularly tense in recent years, but with a better understanding of community and psychology, police and citizens can better communicate and ensure peace with Geller and Kipper’s research and guidance.
