This study analyzes community and conventional policing strategies in Sindh, Pakistan, focusing on their effectiveness in crime prevention and community engagement. Traditional policing has been criticized for its lack of adaptability, leading to the rise of community policing, which emphasizes public participation and trust-building between law enforcement and the public. However, despite its advantages, such as improved crime prevention and better police-community relations, community policing in Sindh faces challenges like limited resources, institutional resistance, and persistent mistrust within communities. Through a qualitative approach, including new artitles of law enforcement officials and community members, the study finds that community policing is more effective than conventional methods. Yet, its implementation remains hindered by various barriers. The research suggests increasing resources for community initiatives, addressing institutional resistance, and fostering sustained community-police partnerships to maximize the potential of community policing.
