ABSTRACT

This chapter provides an outline of key issues related to the predicted increase in extremist violence. As the reader knows, this predicted increase will spur the formation of a new policing model. Of course, the previous chapter discussed the triggers that will foster such violence. I do not pretend to provide answers to these vexing triggers. Instead, this chapter will attempt to address the “solutions” related to policing a violent society. The new policing model, of course, will not be a panacea. It is simply a pragmatic response to societal circumstances. Trying to understand the larger societal implications of this policing model is, in my mind, the only approach where actual “solutions” can be applied. In this way, we will focus on the “responses,” not the causes of the circumstances. I will leave the resolution of the causes-the triggers-to policy makers and political leaders. I hope this book will alert and articulate the implications of failing to adequately address these triggers. In any event, we will focus on specific recommendations and the implications of Public Safety Policing.
