A description of a graduate seminar course in police-community relations conducted at Southern Illinois U with a group of Memphis (Tenn) criminal justice employees. One course requirement was to complete a study of a Memphis neighborhood's history & economy, its relation to the city's political structure, & how these factors affected police-community relations. In addition, students were asked to draft a "fantastic community" plan in which they were to assume that unlimited resources were at their disposal to solve problems between the police & the community. The special object of the research was to discover in their neighborhood those historical & economic factors that predominate in determining the present problems or lack of problems in police-community relations. The project allowed the police to look deeply into the historical, economic, political, & social underpinnings of the neighborhood, to connect these to national trends, & thus to create links to current neighborhood problems. Interacting with neighborhood residents, showing them that the police are interested & actually producing something of value to themselves & to the neighborhood (ie, a community study), had a positive effect of improving relations between the two groups. 14 References.
