Utilizing a mix of qualitative and quantitative techniques, this British study assessed whether a program of “crackdown and consolidation” could lead to measurable and sustainable reductions in domestic burglary. Under the reducing burglary initiative (RBI), individual projects were encouraged to experiment with innovative methods and implement conventional crime reduction or prevention techniques. This article is a case study of one of the southern projects, the Yew Tree SDP which attempted to implement a scheme of crackdown and consolidation and ran from 1999 to 2000. The intent of the project was to target and incapacitate known offenders and to reassure local residents. The impact of the project was measured in terms of the number of burglaries saved compared to area-wide trends. The Yew Tree project proved that a program of crackdown and consolidation undoubtedly has the potential to work, however the consolidation in this situation served only to prolong the impact of the initial crackdown. The choice of consolidation interventions may have been too ambitious in its range and intended outcomes. Tables, figures, notes, and references
