All of that's gone now: the failure to sustain police-youth programmes in Baltimore city - 2018 - p.150-172.



Extra-curricular programmes that unite police officers and youth (hereafter: �police-youth programmes�) have long been recommended to ameliorate the often-strained relationship between these groups. Baltimore�s history of police-youth programming includes initiating and discontinuing a variety of programmes. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews and focus group discussions among diverse stakeholders to identify barriers to sustaining police-youth programmes. Stakeholders described lack of political will, conflicting policing philosophies, and negative police-community dynamics. Participants were optimistic about the potential impact of quality programming, despite these barriers. Police-youth programmes have the capacity to improve police-youth relationships in Baltimore. Strategies to ensure sustainability and increase impact are discussed. - Reproduced.
