FINAL REPORT ON A PROJECT TO REDUCE BURGLARY BY 10 PERCENT IN THREE PATROL TEST SECTORS IN SEATTLE THROUGH A PROGRAM TO INVOLVE CITIZENS IN PREVENTION EFFORTS AND TO INCREASE APPREHENSION AND CLEARANCE RATES. |
| |
|
| Abstract: |
THE PROJECT WAS CONDUCTED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 1973 AND SEPTEMBER 1974. ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM INCLUDED TARGET HARDENING BY CITIZENS; FORECASTING PROBABLE TARGETS AND DEVELOPING TEAM POLICING AND PATROL TACTIC PLANS ACCORDINGLY; DEPLOYMENT OF POLICE PERSONNEL FOR ON-SCENE ARRESTS BASED ON FORECASTS OF TARGET PROBABILITY; AND THE USE OF PORTABLE STAKEOUT ALARMS AND VULNERABILITY FORECASTING TO INCREASE CLEARANCE RATES FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES. A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN THE BURGLARY RATE OCCURRED IN ONLY ONE OF THE SECTORS, AND DATA INSUFFICIENCY MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS A RESULT OF INCREASED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN OTHER SECTORS. FOR A FINAL EVALUATION OF THIS PROJECT, SEE NCJ-39819....EB |
