Measuring Police-Community Interaction Variables in Indianapolis, 1999-2000
This study, funded under the Measuring What Matters
Program, was conducted to identify general neighborhood strengthening,
or community building, processes and police contributions to them. The
purpose of the study, also known as the Police-Community Interaction
Project (PCIP), was to conceive, identify, or define recognizable
patterns of interaction and to find ways to treat these as quantities
that vary in amount and can be shown to fluctuate over time or across
places. To that end, researchers conducted surveys of block clubs,
neighborhood associations, and umbrella groups to gauge the issues
that were important to them, steps they were taking to address these
issues, and the ways in which they interacted with the police.
Researchers also attended the meetings and events held by the Westside
Cooperative Organization (WESCO), an umbrella group, and gathered
coded data about the meetings, events and issues discussed. Specific
variables in the study include demographic variables about the blocks,
neighborhoods, and districts represented by the organizations,
descriptive variables on the organizations themselves, variables
describing issues of importance to the organizations and steps those
organizations were taking to address the issues, variables to describe
the interaction between the organizations and police, and variables
describing police involvement in community activities.
