Hot Spots of Crime: Social Structure and Social Context at the Micro Geographic Level
While hot spots of crime have become an important focus of study in criminology and an important focus of crime prevention in programs like hot spots policing, to date we know little about these places. Who lives in hot spots of crime? What factors lead to these places becoming crime hot spots? What other social and health problems are found in these places? The book draws on more than 7,000 surveys of people living on crime hot spot and non-hot …
Does a rising tide lift all boats: Evidence from a multicity randomized trial of procedural justice in hot spots policing
A recent multicity procedural justice (PJ) training experiment at crime hot spots showed that police could be trained to behave in procedurally just ways, and that this behavioral change could lead to reductions in arrests, improved citizen evaluations of the police, and decreases in crime. In this paper, we extend analyses of the original study to identify whether improvements in PJ behavior in interactions with citizens were conditioned by race…
Legal Cynicism and Drug Use at the Microgeographic Level: Evidence from a Study of Crime Hot Spots
BACKGROUND: A growing body of literature demonstrates that drug activities are concentrated in specific microgeographic areas, exhibiting strong street-to-street variability within neighborhoods. However, little is known about what affects the likelihood of illegal drug use at the microgeographic level. By applying a legal cynicism framework, we aim to explain the likelihood of illegal drug use at the microgeographic level. METHODS: We leverage s…
The Process-Based Model of Policing Revisited: Examining the Reciprocal Relationship Between Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy
Most research on the impact of procedural justice on police legitimacy has relied on cross-sectional data, with limited attention to potential reverse effects. This study examines the reciprocal relationship between procedural justice and police legitimacy (i.e. obligation to obey) over time using cross-lagged panel analysis of three waves of survey data (n = 617) collected largely from crime hot spots in Baltimore, Maryland. Findings showed litt…
Reducing Officers’ Resistance to Evidence-Based Policing: Does Police Self-Legitimacy Matter
In recent years, efforts to reduce police resistance to evidence-based policing (EBP) have gained increasing attention. Simultaneously, amid a global crisis of police legitimacy, scholarly interest in police self-legitimacy has grown. Using survey data from police officers in South Korea, this study examines the role of police self-legitimacy in reducing resistance to EBP, as well as its mediating role in the relationship between organizational f…
Antisocial and prosocial activities at crime hot spots: Rethinking conventional paradigms
Numerous studies emphasise that crime hot spots are antisocial activity nodes where disorder and crime are prevalent. However, researchers to date have not considered prosocial activities at crime hot spots, and how such activities compare to those at other streets in a city. We examine both antisocial and prosocial activities at crime hot spots and non-hot spots using unique quantitative and qualitative data collected in Baltimore City, Maryland…
Reassessing the process-based model: Do procedural justice and police legitimacy lead to reporting neighborhood problems to the police over time
The process-based model, which emphasizes enhancing procedural justice and police legitimacy, is regarded as a key approach to fostering community members' cooperation with police. Despite its prominence, research on how these perceptions influence actual cooperative behaviors remains scarce, particularly in the context of longitudinal data. This study aims to address these gaps. Multilevel logistic regression modeling was applied to three waves …
Exposure to citizen incivility, perceived public disrespect, and police stress: Evidence from front-line officers in South Korea
Public support for expanding DNA databases: Police empowerment and the normative and instrumental models of police legitimacy in South Korea
Despite the widespread adoption and expansion of DNA databases by countries around the world, few studies have investigated the factors that promote public support or opposition to their expansion. Drawing on the normative and instrumental models of police legitimacy, this study explored the mechanisms contributing to public support for expanding DNA databases in a national sample of approximately 1,000 adults in South Korea. Using structural equ…
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…

Disorder in the eye of the beholder: Black and White residents’ perceptions of disorder on high‐crime street segments

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.
