Stealing tires or copper wires? How the national incident-based reporting system changed how the Arlington, Texas, Police Department addresses larceny-thefts
When the Arlington, Texas, Police Department (APD) began using the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), its understanding of local crime trends and the factors driving them was transformed. NIBRS has allowed APD to better identify the precise offences driving changes in more aggregated offence categories and to respond to crime more effectively. With larceny-theft as an example, we describe APD’s NIBRS transition, how it altered crim…
Using National Incident-Based Reporting System data to assess agency differences in clearance rates
The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) disaggregates crime clearances into crimes cleared by arrest and crimes cleared by exceptional means. This feature is an improvement to the Summary Reporting System and allows law enforcement agencies to perform cross-jurisdiction comparisons of their clearance practices and investigative performances. This study uses sexual assault clearance rates to demonstrate a method of cross-jurisdiction …

How much justice is denied? An estimate of unsubmitted sexual assault kits in the United States
Physical security and correctional disorder
One of the defining features of U.S. correctional facilities is their physical security. The perimeter fences, high walls, and locked doors meant to both protect society from convicted offenders and keep those inside the facility safe. Although some research suggests physical security features are salient correlates of correctional order, there is little empirical evidence to support this claim. This knowledge gap is problematic, because disorder…
Clearing homicides
Research Summary Since the RAND Corporation studies on investigations were published, there has been a widely held belief among scholars that police agencies and investigative effort matter little to solving crimes. A few researchers have recently challenged this belief, however, producing results that show that investigative effort does play a role in clearing crimes. In this study, we replicate the methodological approach of the RAND studies an…

Implications of Suburbanization for Metropolitan Political Organization
The development of politically independent suburbs began in earnest at the turn of the twentieth century, but their role in the metropolitan governmental complex is still being established. Efforts to consolidate and otherwise integrate fragmented local governments through massive political reorganization in the 1950s and early 1960s were essentially unsuccessful. In the meantime, other less gran diose devices for achieving a measure of metropoli…
The Development of the Private Sector of the Criminal Justice System
One of the more interesting questions that political scientists are likely to overlook in their analyses of public policy, the delivery of services, etc., is the continually changing mix of public and private provision of such policies and services. Present concern with the criminal justice system, in general, and the police in particular, is no exception. Political scientists are interested in questions of police organization, public accountabil…
