Crime Prevention - Cost Benefit Analysis


Mon March 12

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
