Time and Opportunity
This chapter provides insights into often-observed temporal regularities of different types of crime. It begins by briefly appraising relevant theories that explain variations in time incidence. It then discusses methodological issues that are unique to temporal analysis. The bulk of the next section presents temporal patterns from four years of crime data recorded by West Yorkshire Police, UK. Several units of analysis are considered: years, mon…
Burglary Decisions
This chapter examines burglary event decisions, decisions leading up to the burglary, and the burglary characteristics that provide insights into them. It critically reviews the evidence on burglary decisions; highlights gaps in knowledge, methodologies, and aspects of theory; and discusses the potential for additional research. It draws on studies based on interviews and experimental research with imprisoned offenders and, less commonly, active …
Patrol officers and public reassurance: A comparative evaluation of police officers, PCSOs, Acsos and private security guards
The objective of this study is to establish how well the public distinguishes between different uniformed patrol officer patrolling shopping malls, and whether they have different effects on feelings of safety and worry about crime. It is based on interviews with a sample of 502 shoppers at five shopping malls in Southern England. Using photographs, most respondents correctly identified the police officer and the PCSO, whereas fewer recognised th…
Effective policing: Management influence and the commitment of senior police personnel
This study explores the factors influencing senior police officer (Inspector level and above) commitment and desire to remain with the police organisation. Previous research with lower level officers suggests that both are strongly influenced by how these individuals are managed. Yet, research largely neglects whether the same factors are salient to retaining the more senior ranks. Based on survey and questionnaire data from one Australian police…
Daylight and Darkness Targeting Strategies and the Risks of Being Seen at Residential Burglaries
In daylight, burglars minimized the risks of being spotted by selecting “up-market” targets with better front cover and low occupancy that reflected the occupants' higher employment levels. After dark, townhouses with less cover were popular despite victims, fewer of whom were employed, raising more alerts. Evidence indicates consistency with routine activity theory, and target strategies appear rational, though shaped by differences in risks and…
The Behavioural, Emotional and Psychological Effects of Street Robbery on Victims
This paper is concerned with the emotional and psychological impact of street robbery on its victims. Findings are presented from two sets of interviews with robbery victims sampled from police incident records, and conducted within three weeks and again nine months after victimisation. A majority of victims found street robbery to be a very frightening experience, and, as a result, fear of crime increased and many victims suffered serious psycho…
