Publisher's Synopsis
Despite an ongoing national conversation on criminal justice reform, a critical piece is missing. This book calls for reform to occur in cities and towns across America. This is a how-to guide for law enforcement and criminal justice agencies seeking to improve community relations and make a measurable impact on crime. Intelligent Justice takes a stand against the Marxist calls to defund the police, while also addressing the need for improved community relations. This book provides strategies to help criminal justice organizations implement an intelligence-driven, data-informed, approach to criminal justice in the local community. Leveraging a decade in public service, Micah Gaudet details six strategies, which will allow law enforcement agencies to identify and appropriately respond to crime drivers. Heavily influenced by US Army Counterinsurgency doctrine, Intelligent Justice seeks to empower a vibrant relationship with law enforcement and the community they are sworn to serve and protect. Intelligent Justice also leverages Micah's time at the Ohio Statewide Fusion Center and Emergency Management by creating mechanisms for effective collaboration. All crime is local, so all criminal justice must be local as well.
