Examining the Impact of Permitless Firearm Legislation and Covid-19 on Crime and Arrests in Three Urban Cities
While the number of state legislative changes to relaxed concealed firearm carrying laws continues to increase, research examining the impact of these laws on changes in criminal behavior, particularly in urban contexts, has not kept pace. To enhance our understanding of the potential impact of permitless carry legislative changes, we examined the temporal association between legislative changes and changes in illegal and dangerous behavior most …
Implicit bias training for police
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to estimate the behavioral impacts of training police officers in implicit bias awareness and management. HYPOTHESES: Training police in implicit bias reduces racial and ethnic disparities in stops, arrests, summonses, frisks, searches, and/or use of force. METHOD: A cluster randomized controlled trial using the stepped wedge design was applied to 14,471 officers in the New York City Police Department, wit…
Assessing the impact of de‐escalation training on police behavior
Research summary Changing police use of force policies and training to incorporate de‐escalation tactics is one of the most routinely recommended police reform measures. Despite widespread promotion and proliferation of de‐escalation trainings, to date, no research has empirically demonstrated that these trainings reduce use of force in the field (Engel, R. S., McManus, H. D., & Herold, T. D., 2020). Therefore, it is unknown if de‐escalation trai…
Community-Based Crime Reduction in Tulsa
The most fitting way to celebrate Joan Petersilia’s numerous advancements within the field of criminal justice is to deliberately practice the two most important lessons that perhaps best define her legacy. First, embedded research should drive collaborative partnerships to foster real-world change based on science. Second, such real-world change should reduce the consequences of crime as well as the social costs of heavy-handed criminal justice …

The Impact of Police on Criminal Justice Reform
Research Summary Despite significant national reductions in crime during the past three decades, a comparable reduction in adult arrest rates has not occurred. In addition, scant attention has been paid to the role of the police in pretrial justice and other criminal justice reform efforts, despite their role as gatekeepers to the criminal justice system. A key inquiry that must be addressed by both academics and practitioners is whether it is po…
Most Challenging of Contexts
Research Summary The use of focused deterrence to reduce lethal violence driven by gangs and groups of chronic offenders has continued to expand since the initial Boston Ceasefire intervention in the 1990s, where prior evaluations have shown relatively consistent promise in terms of violence reduction. This study focuses on the capacity of focused deterrence to impact lethal violence in a chronic and high‐trajectory homicide setting: New Orleans,…
Perceptions of Police Practice, Cynicism of Police Performance, and Persistent Neighborhood Violence
Revisiting broken windows theory
Are suppression and deterrence mechanisms enough? Examining the “pulling levers” drug market intervention strategy in Peoria, Illinois, USA
Attempting to reduce firearms violence through a Comprehensive Anti-Gang Initiative (Cagi)
Overview of
Research Summary Pulling levers policing draws upon the focused deterrence framework, which has shown considerable promise when directed at youth, gun, and gang offenders. However, much less is known about the viability of pulling levers when applied to different contexts as well as to diverse groups of offenders. We examine the High Point (North Carolina) Drug Market Intervention (DMI), the first site to use pulling levers as a place‐based polic…
The Impact of Drug Market Pulling Levers Policing on Neighborhood Violence

Reducing Homicide Risk in Indianapolis between 1997 and 2000
The Roles of the Police in the Offender Reentry Process
The increasing number of former inmates returning from prison to the community, coupled with the high level of reoffending among former inmates, raises public safety issues for society in general as well as for particular communities in which significant numbers of former inmates reside. From a problem‐solving perspective, crime generated by recently released inmates with persistent high rates of offending is one chronic crime problem calling for…
