From the Paper:

"There are many different styles of policing utilized today. In many instances the decision about which style to use depends on a combination of factors, including politics, population density, funding and law enforcement manpower. "
"According to James Q. Wilson's theory, policing can involve one of three styles. The first style is the legalistic style. In this style, laws and bills are passed that are used to insure the public's safety through their use in the criminal justice system. Whether it is a misdemeanor defendant going to court or a felon facing prison for the third time, the legalistic system provides methods to remand suspects to incarceration and keep them there for periods of time (Wilson, pp)."
