THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT INCLUDED PUBLIC CRIME PREVENTION EDUCATION, INITIATION OF NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAMS, AND THE PROVIDING OF MARKING TOOLS FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION. A COMPARISON OF 1975 AND 1976 OFFENSE DATA REVEALED NO CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF BURGLARY AND LARCENY INCIDENTS REPORTED, MOST LIKELY DUE TO HAVING CRIME REDUCTION EFFECTS OFFSET BY THE REPORTING OF MORE ACTUAL INCIDENTS. HOWEVER, ARRESTS ROSE 226.6% OVER 1975 AND THE TIME LAG BETWEEN BURGLARIES AND LARCENIES AND REPORTING WAS SOMEWHAT REDUCED. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PROJECT BE CONTINUED AND THAT A PROCESS BE DEVELOPED TO EVALUATE THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION, OR LACK OF INFORMATION, UTILIZED BY CITIZENS ATTENDING CRIME PREVENTION PRESENTATIONS. TABULAR DATA IS INCLUDED....ELW
