Abstract: This paper examines the evolution and significance of community policing, a paradigm shift from the traditional professional model of policing that emphasizes hierarchical structures and reactive crime response. The paper conceptualized community policing in terms of a collaborative partnership between the police departments and the communities they serve. The partnership is aimed at addressing the root causes of crime and disorder through constructive identifications of proactive problem solving police-community engagements. The paper further explores multifaceted nature of the concept of community policing, highlighting its socio-economic dimensions and the varying conceptions of both scholars and police agencies. Key elements of community policing including community partnership, organizational transformation and problem solving were analyzed within the contexts of crime reduction, community safety and building of community trust objectives of community policing. Benefits of community policing such as improved police community relationships, increased community capacity to address issues, enhanced perceptions of safety were also discussed. The paper also underscores the importance of community policing as a strategic framework for building safer, more resilient communities through collaborative efforts of the police and its host communities.

Abstract: Sustainable performance is the foremost dream of every manufacturing concern. The environmental consequences of business operations in developing nations were noted at higher levels. Green initiatives are primitive measures to address ecological issues. The purpose of this study is to research how green supply chain management practises affect company performance. The explanatory method was utilized to investigate the connection between GSCM and green performance. A total of 214 participants were randomly selected to provide responses for this study. AMOS was used to do the analysis on the data. The findings showed a favorable correlation between environmental performance and eco-design, green purchase, and reverse logistics. This paper provides practical and managerial implications for industries that help them to promote green practices in their business operations. In developing nations, most producers' top goals are to better their economic condition and minimize economic hazards. Businesses that focus on short-term profitability, on the other hand, would not be possible in the remote future if they neglect the environment. In the future, different GSCM practices can be used to enhance the GSCM understanding at the national level. Lastly, this research has used convenience sampling that compromised the generalization of results. In the future, probability sampling can be adopted after gaining the sampling frame.
