· Wilson's 3 Styles of Policing:
Watchmen: Policing that emphasizes order maintenance and crime control. They only care about serious crimes, not really misdemeanors. Believe that domestic arguments are private and rather help juveniles solve their problems then just bring them to jail.
Legalistic: Believe that all citizens should be treated the same, so there is no discretion by police officers. They like to arrest people and "enforce the law".
Service: usually found in upper middle class, rural communities. Focused on serving the community. They take each call seriously and since they work for a wealthy community, they often patrol homes and neighborhoods for any strange activity. They use the criminal justice system (arresting) only when necessary.
