Today I did research for a city in Texas on
a cost benefit analysis of crime prevention.
It was a data request more than an emerging practices
request. They were looking for
number that supported the statement that crime prevention deters crime. They wanted to say if we spend a% of
our time doing crime prevention we will see a decrease in y%. I found a couple of interesting sources
but probably too many. Here is what I found.
British Journal of Criminology – pg. 351 burglary, pg. 353
graffiti
Urban Institute – pg. 70 murder, rape, robbery, assault,
burglary
Other Resources and Strategies:
Crime and Delinquency – Community Activism
Urban Institute
Chicago, IL – New Chief of Police strategy
Rutgers University
Toronto
Multiple Canadian Cities
