178 The “New” Police by J.F. Elliott.

Charles C. Thomas (301-327 East Lawrence Avenue, Springfield, Illinois), 1973, 72 pp., hardcover - $6.50. Subtitled “A Description of a Possible Form of What the Municipal Police Will Evolve Into, Why They Must Change, and How This Evolution May Be Accomplished,” this book discusses why change is necessary and what its direction should take. Elliott notes that the public is presently dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness of the police. He explains this ineffectiveness in terms of goals, strategies, tactics, and the persons using them, and the philosophy and techniques of the managers. Changes are proposed that would limit the goals of the police to crime and social disorder control, emphasize offensive strategies and intelligence systems used by college-trained personnel, and base management on major new philosophical changes. A broad plan for implementation is outlined.
