"Public Engagement in Five Colorado School Communities","Kmcguane","The reforms which have swept through public education during the last two decades have largely been initiated in state legislatures or the United States Congress. The greater part of all these reform efforts have focused on the professional side of public education. These are not reforms initiated by local communities and have not been, for the most part, designed to permit influence and direction from local communities. In other words, school boards, in Colorado the traditional repository of community values and direction for our schools, are being hustled off to the side of the stage. It is the goal of CASB to revitalize the role of locally elected school boards in public schools in the face of comprehensive reform legislation initiated at both the state and federal level in the last three years. The role of local school boards may be revitalized only if boards find ways to meaningfully engage their publics.

"Community Policing in Chicago","Vbaj86","The Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) was launched in the beginning of April 1993 and was tested in five Chicago neighborhoods, after a brief developmental period. By May 1995 it had expanded to involve the entire Chicago Police's Patrol Division. This in turn led to the setup of beat meetings, which provide opportunities for residents and police who work for/live in these high-crime neighborhoods. These beat meetings have grown into major community meetings that help police identify and solve problems. Over time, crime rates in Chicago neighborhoods decreased."," Problems and PurposeThe Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) main goal was to open a two way channel of communication between the local public and the police department in order for them to work together to combat concerns and issues that each...","Tue, 12/07/2010 - 08:19","United States","Yes","Wednesday, March 31, 1993 - 16:00","","Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice, & Corrections","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation","Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers), Make public decisions (i.e. exert direct authority), Raise public awareness, Community building (e.g. social capital)","Open to all","Citizen Dialogue","Local (e.g. Neighbourhood, City/Town, Metropolitan Area)","Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City)","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial), Community Based Organization","Yes"
