Abstract

ABSTRACT Recent uprisings have led to calls to defund police and invest in Black and Brown communities. This article explores the lessons learned about community safety from a four-year effort to reduce crime and improve safety in a predominately Latinx suburb of Washington, DC. It shows that programs that invested in building trust and rapport between police and community had little impact. Alternatively, efforts that built community, resourced and engaged residents, and invested in neighborhood infrastructure were more effective. The case highlights the critical role of community-based organizations in helping residents imagine and execute programs that improve community safety without relying on police.
超越社区治安:以社区发展为中心,努力改善拉丁裔移民社区的安全
最近的暴动已经引发了撤资警察和投资黑人和布朗社区的呼声。这篇文章探讨了在华盛顿特区一个以拉丁裔为主的郊区,四年来在减少犯罪和提高安全方面所取得的经验教训。它表明,投资于在警察和社区之间建立信任和融洽关系的项目收效甚微。另外,建设社区、为居民提供资源和参与,以及投资社区基础设施的努力更为有效。该案例突出了社区组织在帮助居民设想和执行不依赖警察改善社区安全的项目方面的关键作用。
