  • Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training: A case study of the perceptions of officers, leadership, and CIT trainers in a suburban-rural police department

    Open AccessYasemin Irvin-Erickson, Sue‐ming Yang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice2026References: 47

    Enhancing law enforcement agencies' capacity to respond to individuals in mental health crisis is crucial. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training is one of the best-known police-based approaches to addressing mental health-related crises in the community. Despite the increasing number of studies on CIT trainings' impact on use of force and other police-level outcomes using administrative and survey data, there is a need for more in-depth studies…

  • Place Matters: Criminology for the Twenty-First Century

    Open AccessDavid Weisburd, John E Eck et al.BOOKPlace Matters2015

    Over the last two decades, there has been increased interest in the distribution of crime and other antisocial behavior at lower levels of geography. The focus on micro geography and its contribution to the understanding and prevention of crime has been called the 'criminology of place'. It pushes scholars to examine small geographic areas within cities, often as small as addresses or street segments, for their contribution to crime. Here, the au…

  • Do Stop, Question, and Frisk Practices Deter Crime: Evidence at Microunits of Space and Time

    Open AccessDavid Weisburd, Alese Wooditch et al.ARTICLECriminology & Public Policy2015Cited by: 24References: 13

    Research Summary Existing studies examining the crime impacts of stop, question, and frisks (SQFs) have focused on large geographic areas. Weisburd, Telep, and Lawton (2014) suggested that SQFs in New York City (NYC) were highly concentrated at crime hot spots, implying that a microlevel unit of analysis may be more appropriate. The current study aims to address the limitations of prior studies by exploring the impact of SQFs on daily and weekly …

  • The Criminology of Place: Street Segments and Our Understanding of the Crime Problem

    David Weisburd, Elizabeth R Groff et al.BOOKThe criminology of place2012

    The study of crime has focused primarily on why particular people commit crime or why specific communities have higher crime levels than others. This book presents a new and different way of looking at the crime problem by examining why specific streets in a city have specific crime trends over time. Based on a sixteen-year longitudinal study of crime in Seattle, Washington, the book focuses our attention on small units of geographic analysis-mic…

  • Trajectories of terrorism: Attack patterns of foreign groups that have targeted the United States, 1970–2004

    Open AccessG Lafree, Sue‐ming Yang et al.ARTICLECriminology & Public Policy2009Cited by: 16References: 12

    Research Summary Although researchers began to assemble open‐source terrorism event databases in the late 1960s, until recently most of these databases excluded domestic attacks. This exclusion is particularly misleading for the United States because, although the United States is often perceived to be the central target of transnational terrorism, the domestic attacks of foreign groups targeting the United States are often ignored. We began this…

  • Trajectories of Crime at Places: A Longitudinal Study of Street Segments in the City of Seattle

    Open AccessDavid Weisburd, Shawn D Bushway et al.ARTICLECriminology2004Cited by: 144References: 54

    Studies of crime at micro places have generally relied on cross‐sectional data and reported the distributions of crime statistics over short periods of time. In this paper we use official crime data to examine the distribution of crime at street segments in Seattle, Washington, over a 14‐year period. We go beyond prior research in two ways. First, we view crime trends at places over a much longer period than other studies that have examined micro…

  • When can we Conclude that Treatments or Programs “Don’t Work”

    Open AccessDavid Weisburd, CYNTHIA LUM et al.ARTICLEThe Annals of the American…2003Cited by: 10References: 23

    In this article, the authors examine common practices of reporting statistically nonsignificant findings in criminal justice evaluation studies. They find that criminal justice evaluators often make formal errors in the reporting of statistically nonsignificant results. Instead of simply concluding that the results were not statistically significant, or that there is not enough evidence to support an effect of treatment, they often mistakenly acc…
