Problem Specific Guides
http://www.popcenter.org/guides/
http://www.popcenter.org/tools/?action=alpha
Problem-oriented policing focuses, one-by-one, on specific problems of crime and disorder with the intention of identifying and altering the particular factors giving rise to each problem. The problems addressed in problemoriented policing tend not to be confined to just a few police jurisdictions, but are more widely experienced. It is therefore likely that some other agency has tried to solve the kind of problem that you are dealing with now. Or perhaps some researcher has studied a similar problem and learned things that might be useful to your work. You could save yourself a lot of time and effort by finding out what they did and why. In particular, you can learn which responses seemed to be effective and which were not. So long as they made available a written report of their work, this guide will help you discover what they did.

Occupational Hazard: The Arrogance of Power

Sitting in positions of power, prestige and privilege can easily seduce people into thinking that they got there solely by their own abilities and assets. They can begin to assume that rules that apply to others don’t apply to them. Think about Hitler, Lenin, Marx, and the current leaders of places like Iraq and North Korea. Then think about whether you have ever been tempted to become puffed up when you win an award, get voted into leadership, or find out you are becoming popular with the “right” crowd.

King Uzziah of Judah fell into that pitfall of pride (read 2 Chronicles 26) when he came to the throne, but he succeeded because he honored God and listened to the wise counsel of the prophet Zechariah. But in his later years, after he had achieved many military victories, he made the mistake of presuming to perform temple rites reserved only for the priests, which led to his downfall.

Arrogance is an occupational hazard for those in authority

Contempt of Cop (citation)

What caused General McChrystal's poor judgment?

Published on June 25, 2010 by Renee Garfinkel, Ph.D. in Time Out

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/time-out/201006/occupational-hazard-the-arrogance-power

We all watched General Stanley McChrystal succumb to an occupational hazard common to high-level leadership in fields ranging from politics to business to religion. Powerful leaders are susceptible to the arrogance of power.
People who become leaders often start out with personalities that have more than the average share of narcissism. This is particularly the case for politicians, who first must believe that of all citizens, they are the best-suited and most qualified for leadership. Aspiring politicians then spend months - and in the case of the presidency, years - convincing large numbers of voters to agree.
Military leaders do not have to promote themselves in quite the same way. Instead, they grow and develop their leadership roles within an authoritarian organization that serves as a kind of hothouse for narcissism. Beginning with basic training, the military instills the sense of pride and honor on which it depends. Often, these qualities slip over the boundary and mutate into a sense of superiority and exclusivity. "Proud to be army" becomes "we're so much better than those civilians." The very factors that help create a new identity for the individual soldier, an identity that bonds him to his buddies, and to the service as a whole, can become a problem. This may be what happened with McChrystal and his staff. Psychologically speaking, "Us & Them" thinking is probably appropriate, even desirable, when facing an enemy on the battlefield. But it can only be destructive when applied to fellow citizens.

When threatened - whether with physical injury and death, or with failure or humiliation - people tend to draw closer to their own, and become more hostile and suspicious toward "outsiders." These dynamics may have also played a role in bringing McChrystal down.
Powerful people in every sphere tend to be surrounded by approving and admiring subordinates. Powerful people are seldom criticized or challenged. Their lives are lived in a bubble of shared perspective and agreement, a perfect medium for growing arrogance.
Ideally, other perspectives get through to civilian leaders through contact with people outside of their work world, who do not necessarily share the same assumptions. Civilian leaders hear from their husbands, wives, parents or children. They hear from their constituents, or their clients and customers. And some of their work may be open to scrutiny. Lacking the constant exposure to these relationships, the risk of arrogance looms even larger for military leaders. They tend to live and socialize in an all-military world, as if breathing their own recycled air.
Military leaders are deprived of the fresh air generously provided to politicians (who may not always appreciate it!) - by reporters, pundits, and the next elections.
