Searching for a big score: Analyzing drug yield from search warrant executions
Beyond the “Ferguson Effect” on Crime: Examining its Influence on Law Enforcement Personnel
The purpose of the current study is to examine the influence tensions over high-profile officer-involved shootings have had on Atlanta police officers’ ability to do their jobs and whether these impacts vary by officer race. Data was collected between August and October of 2016. A total of 241 police officers across six zones completed the self-administered survey. Findings indicate that while white officers, on average, felt the impacts of recen…
The behavior of police: Class, race, and discretion in drug enforcement
Police officers act under highly variable constraints. Some drug arrests occur on routine patrols in which officers’ exercise discretion, others are a product of departmental priorities, and the remainder occur after police are called to the scene. In his treatise on the Behavior of Law, Donald Black asserted that law behaves directionally according to rank, status, and social integration. Using multilevel data on felony drug arrests in one metro…
Disorder in the eye of the beholder: Black and White residents’ perceptions of disorder on high‐crime street segments
Research Summary Although broken windows theory has had strong influence on policy and practice in policing, there are still many questions and debates about the nature of disorder itself and, particularly, how people perceive and define it. The current study aims to examine whether Black and White residents living on the same street segments in Baltimore City, Maryland perceive similar levels of social and physical disorder. We find strong and s…
Examining impacts of street characteristics on residents' fear of crime: Evidence from a longitudinal study of crime hot spots
Place Matters: Criminology for the Twenty-First Century
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…
A New Look into Broken Windows: What Shapes Individuals’ Perceptions of Social Disorder
The Importance of Randomized Experiments in Evaluating Crime Prevention
Is problem‐oriented policing effective in reducing crime and disorder: Findings from a Campbell systematic review
Research Summary We conducted a Campbell systematic review to examine the effectiveness of problem‐oriented policing (POP) in reducing crime and disorder. After an exhaustive search strategy that identified more than 5,500 articles and reports, we found only ten methodologically rigorous evaluations that met our inclusion criteria. Using meta‐analytic techniques, we found an overall modest but statistically significant impact of POP on crime and …
The irony of broken windows policing: A micro-place study of the relationship between disorder, focused police crackdowns and fear of crime
Does Crime Just Move Around the Corner? A Controlled Study of Spatial Displacement and Diffusion of Crime Control Benefits
Recent studies point to the potential theoretical and practical benefits of focusing police resources on crime hot spots. However, many scholars have noted that such approaches risk displacing crime or disorder to other places where programs are not in place. Although much attention has been paid to the idea of displacement, methodological problems associated with measuring it have often been overlooked. We try to fill these gaps in measurement a…
