Abstract
The genesis of this report was a conference on policing in New Zealand in 2008. The contributors have all worked closely and collaboratively with police—in education and in the development of policing practice and community engagement, in policy and program management or on research projects. The collection seeks to provide an overview of what is currently known about community policing in Australia and to encourage further research and analysis of the issues and challenges highlighted in the report.
