A bibliography of works on community policing published in the United Kingdom is the starting point of this article, which summarizes the British experience with this policing style over the last 20 years.

Abstract

After analyzing the emergence or renaissance of community policing in Great Britain, the author concludes that community policing in the United Kingdom has been partially successful; however, the achievements of community policing have been tempered by the limits of its effectiveness and the selectivity of the variables used to measure policing effectiveness. At the same time, the author points to some lessons that the British experience with community policing can teach in the management and assessment of police organizations. 80 references
