Book excerpt: Crime is not a random event that occurs evenly across time and space; instead, it is clustered in certain areas known as hot spots (Sherman, Gartin, & Buerger, 1989). Understanding patterns of crime and the reasons why hot spots exist provides a foundation for crime control and prevention strategies. This study provides an analysis of the distribution of break and enters in Regina, Saskatchewan using calls for service, both emergency and non-emergency, made to the Regina Police Service (RPS) in 2006. The researcher coded and analyzed the data using ArcMap, a Geographic Information System (GIS). Pairing calls for service data with census data from 2006 enabled the examination of break and enter occurrences using the variables outlined by Shaw and McKay's (1942) social disorganization theory. This study found that break and enters clustered both spatially and temporally. Furthermore, the strongest predictors of break and enter distribution were found to be ethnic heterogeneity, unemployment, and residential mobility. This study has the potential to shape future social disorganization research as it validates some variables of the theory and identifies which variables are not as useful in explaining where break and enters are likely to occur. Keywords: social disorganization theory, break and enter, crime mapping, hot spots, GIS, location quotients.
Download or read book Mending Broken Fences Policing An Alternative Model for Policy Management written by Anil Anand, BPHE, LLM, MBA, GEMBA and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police services across the globe are increasingly perceived as heavy handed, racist, and unnecessarily violent. As a result, large, sometimes even national demonstrations have been waged against police policy and strategy. Mending Broken Fences Policing provides a discussion on contemporary policing, the role of policing in modern society, and its relationship to the diverse communities represented in a postmodern world. Mending Broken Fences Policing provides a model, based on social cohesion and police intervention, intelligence-led and community policing (IP-CP); which, supplemented by a quality/quantity/crime (QQC) framework provide a four-step process for viewing policing services from a vantage point beyond Broken Windows and StatCom.

Book excerpt: Crime is not spread evenly across maps. It clumps in some areas and is absent in others. People use this knowledge in their daily activities. They avoid some places and seek out others. Their choices of neighborhoods, schools, stores, streets and recreation are governed partially by the understanding that their chances of being a victim are greater in some of these places than in others.

Book excerpt: An essential handbook of eye-opening—and frequently myth-busting—facts and figures about the real lives of Black Americans today There’s no defeating white supremacist myths without data—real data. Black Stats is a compact and useful guide that offers up-to-date figures on Black life in the United States today, avoiding jargon and assumptions and providing critical analyses and information. Monique Couvson, author of the acclaimed Pushout, has compiled statistics from a broad spectrum of telling categories that illustrate the quality of life and the possibility of (and barriers to) advancement for a group at the heart of American society. With fascinating information on everything from disease trends, incarceration rates, and lending practices to voting habits, green jobs, and educational achievement, the material in this book will enrich and inform a range of public debates while challenging commonly held yet often misguided perceptions. Black Stats simultaneously highlights measures of incredible progress, conveys the disparate impacts of social policies and practices, and surprises with revelations that span subjects including the entertainment industry, military service, and marriage trends. An essential tool for advocates, educators, and anyone seeking racial justice, Black Stats is an affordable guidebook for anyone seeking to understand the complex state of our nation.
