Crime And Catch Fenders

The routine activities theory is based on the concept of the crime triangle. This triangle consists of a “motivated offender a suitable target and the lack of guardianship” (Cohen & Felson, 1979). When Hot spot policing is employed its focus is directed at two of the three elements of the triangle. Those elements are the suitable target and the lack of a capable guardian (Hoover, 2014). Some of the major tenants of this perspective are geographic targeting, focused patrol, saturation patrol, and interactive programs. There are other tenants such as simple visibility and foot patrol but I will focus on the three mentioned above. Geographic targeting uses techniques which address crime based on the “hot spot” theory. Hot spots are another

Hot spots policing revolves around the idea that crime is focused in small problem locales, and that crime can be more efficiently reduced if police concentrate their efforts on those smaller areas (Papachristos & Hureau, 2012). By stopping crime in smaller areas, it is easy to prevent it from growing in larger parts. Activities like patrolling high crime areas and presence of law enforcement officers in the area are performed will reduced crime (Hot spots policing, 2017, What is the focus of the intervention?). “When authors calculated the overall

It is my opinion, that Hot spot policing is a fantastic idea orf thought. Personally my worry would be that even thpough crime rate might slow down in the area disignated, that the criminals just caught on to the police coming to a particular area. So these indivuals are probaly still breaking the law just somewhere else. For example if you announce a road block, subrity check point, most of the poeple driving under the influence are going to go another route.

The integrated patrol strategy brings a community-oriented concept of supervising into play, which law-breaking prevention and reduction efforts are functional on a broader scale, rather than concentrating specifically on a group of people within a particular location. The integrated patrol strategy, also calls for more improved fact-finding processes and data distribution between organizations to help in effective solutions to resolving crimes and chase tendencies and configurations, as well as, the potential to toughen contacts between agencies at all levels. Paralleled to the traditional enforcement strategy which reacted to crime after the fact, and only relating different emphases to certain situations,

Police Foundation stated that because the majority of a police officer's time is typically spent on non-crime related matters, the amount of time spent on crime is any less important (Police Foundation, 2017). In my opinion, there are no strategies to deter crime because criminals are going to commit a crime regardless. In doing so, there should have been a better plan and strategies of where to put each police office to cover the area that seems to have a high crime rate and the area with the less crime rate would have a patrol officer to monitor that area for appearance for the security of the neighborhood.However, I commend the effort of trying to find a solution to deter crime in the city, even though it was stated that the experiment of Kansas city crime does not compare to other city but it has some similar crime with Detroit and San Francisco. The experiment can be used if the data was accurate to brainstorm by building off the Kansas City Preventative Patrol Experiment to another option to execute to deter crime in another

When looking at the Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) website we see that it provides information to law enforcement departments around the country giving them information on how to deal with a significant amount of community problems (Problem-Oriented Policing, 2017). The website of POP shows in details community issues such as vandalism, street prostitution, and domestic violence for law enforcement departments to gain ideas how they can be addressed. There have been large numbers of police departments that have taken advantage of the enormous amount of resources provided to them by the POP two such departments the Oakland Police Department in Los Angeles, and the other being Lindgate Police Department in Nevada (Calgues, 2015).

Kansas City prevention was a patrol experiment; (preventative patrolling). The results of police patrolling in high crime areas did not lessen criminal activity, however the reduction of police patrolling did not result in increased criminal activity. This research shined a new light on policing and helped pave the way for future community policing.

The research reinforced my thesis that response methods are vital in law enforcement agencies and what is needed to evolve with the inevitable changes occurring, the future trends emerging, and challenges that go with it. Addressing crime is the most important responsibility of law enforcement agencies and although there is an increase in crime and criminal acts, the research indicates that response methods will need to be enhanced in order for any law enforcement agency to be successful. The research collected in the literature review shows that present-day response methods do not have the capability to deal with the enhanced crime and criminal acts. Possible indication could be the expanding and uncertainty of the control of crime and offenders

The two most useful police tactics that need to be implemented in the Chicago Police Department are focused deterrence policing and hot spot policing. Focused deterrence policing focuses on bringing police and community groups together to signal major legal consequences of violence especially relating to a person's previous criminal record. Social services can also be offered to help someone stop living a dangerous lifestyle. Hot spot policing deploys police intelligently in specific areas with high crime rates which has a large impact on fighting crime and violence. This is an effective way to reduce crime without displacing it.

Studies suggest that there is a reciprocal relationship between the number of arrests and the number of crime in a given area. For this reason, the police more likely to patrol in those areas based on the principles of hot spot policing as discussed above. In order to capture this conception/construct, we employed three proxy variables. The first one is the block

In countless areas there are higher crime rates, and often specific locations stand out and require additional services. Police agencies have spent years trying to find the perfect technique for equally distributing effected resources to advance hot spots. The Mabry agency which is in Harmony, Florida is no different, since their crime rates are on the rise. Which is why we are implementing a new policing program that involves hot spots, and a planned outcome evaluation. The purpose for using hot spot policing in the town of Mabry is to simply cut down the amount of crime in those hot spot areas and the surrounding areas, by adding additional patrol vehicles and officers. This strategy is based on programs such as the broken windows

In policing a large city, there are multiple approaches that the police chief can use. Four of the main strategies are the standard approach, community-oriented policing (COP), order-maintenance policing (OMP) and problem-oriented policing (POP). Experts disagree on which approach is best, but each one has its own benefits and detriments. The standard model is the traditional reactive approach to policing. The key elements of the model are preventative patrols, emergency responses and follow up investigations.

Hot spots policing involves deploying officers to patrol very specific areas within their jurisdiction that have seen a very high amount of concentrated crime (Lum, Nagin, 2016). The idea of hot spots policing came about “from a striking empirical regularity uncovered by Sherman, Gartin, and Buerger (1989) when they found that only 3 percent of addresses and intersections (“places”) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. produced 50 percent of all calls to the police” (Lum, Nagin; 2016). There were a few other astounding statistics that were seen in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1989. All robberies were reported in only 2.2% of places. All rapes were reported in only 1.2% of places, and all auto thefts were reported at 2.7% of all places (SOURCE).

There have been several studies conducted on problem oriented policing which provide evidence that this method produces positive results. One example is the Jersey City Drug Market Analysis Experiment. In this experiment, Vice Police Officers were assigned to target areas (the variable) and control areas of high drug activity. Arrests were made in these areas and a follow-up was done with the landlords, local government regulatory agencies, and site-specific enforcement was recommended. After a week of follow up and monitoring the areas, the target area had a reduction in criminal activity, and it was found that this area fared better in reference to crime and deviant behavior compared to the control group (Weisburb et al., 2010).
