Assessing Trends and Best Practices of Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Programs in the United States, 2003
This trends and best practices evaluation geared toward
motor vehicle theft prevention with a particular focus on the Watch
Your Car (WYC) program was conducted between October 2002 and March
2004. On-site and telephone interviews were conducted with
administrators from 11 of 13 WYC member states. Surveys were mailed to
the administrators of auto theft prevention programs in 36 non-WYC
states and the 10 cities with the highest motor vehicle theft rates.
Completed surveys were returned from 16 non-WYC states and five of the
high auto theft rate cities. Part 1, the survey for Watch Your Car
(WYC) program members, includes questions about how respondents
learned about the WYC program, their WYC related program activities,
the outcomes of their program, ways in which they might have done
things differently if given the opportunity, and summary questions
that asked WYC program administrators for their opinions about various
aspects of the overall WYC program. The survey for the nonmember
states, Part 2, and cities, Part 3, collected information about motor
vehicle theft prevention within the respondent's state or city and
asked questions about the respondent's knowledge of, and opinions
about, the Watch Your Car program.
