I was working CIC and watching the traffic. Training on West RADAR was in progress. We observed the Center descend C680 through our airspace without coordination. We had traffic at 8;000 FT in close proximity as the aircraft descended out of 10;000 FT. Because of the controller program; there seems to be an attitude that deals don't matter anymore. This is not the first time I have seen the Center not coordinate for aircraft cutting through our airspace. There needs to be some balance between an attitude of punishment as there previously was; and what is in place now.
TRACON Controller observed the associated Center descend an aircraft through their airspace without coordination; the reporter noting a Controller attitude change regarding separation after the advent of the ATC ATSAP program.
