It sets out the development of a social cohesion approach to counter-terrorism policing based on extensive empirical research with police members, culturally diverse communities and through the close reading of counter-terrorism law and policy in Australia.

Notes
While there are many definitions of community policing, this study uses the following as a working definition: ‘[community policing is] a new philosophy of policing, based on the concept that police officers and private citizens working together… [in partnership] can help solve contemporary community problems related to crime, fear of crime, social and physical disorder, and neighbourhood decay’ [30].
