Findings indicated that crime decreased by 48 percent in the poor section and rose by 15 percent in the rich section. However, the researchers found no statistical evidence to support their hypothesis that the police intervene less forcefully with upper-class offenders or respond more attentively to upper-class victims. Although the police behaved more aggressively in the poor section, they also developed more intimate ties and even took part in community gatherings. Possibly as a result of greater trust, lower-class victims were more prone to involve the police, while upper-class victims often settled conflicts themselves. Overall, upper-class victims seemed more distrustful and less knowledgeable of police responsibilities than did lower-class victims. Foot patrols improved public attitudes toward the police in both neighborhoods. Findings suggested that the decreased victimization and increased police popularity make this more systematic approach a step toward improved crime control. Table and 16 references
