ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that in cities of Norfolk, Baltimore, and San Francisco dynamics of "institutional selectivity" shaped community policing reforms, "organizing out" reintegrative approaches in favor of broken windows or environmental crime control strategies, or subsuming reintegrative approaches within a broken windows framework. It concerns community policing as a mechanism of social outreach, especially as this pertains to alternative drug control strategies. Community policing in Norfolk became narrowed around nuisance abatement and order maintenance concerns. Police-Assisted Community Enforcement (PACE) was promoted as a comprehensive approach to community policing featuring a range of problem-solving efforts including human service outreach. PACE's orientation around Nuisance and Environmental Abatement Team (NEAT)-related functions was apparent during observations of the "Problem-Solving School". The Family Assessment Service Team (FAST) Teams were intended as the primary mechanism of doing human service outreach under PACE.
