Community Policing in Baltimore, 1986-1987
This data collection was designed to investigate the
effects of foot patrol and ombudsman policing on perceptions of the
incidence of crime and community policing practices in Baltimore,
Maryland. Data collected at Wave 1 measured perceptions of crime and
community policing practices before the two new policing programs were
introduced. Follow-up data for Wave 2 were collected approximately one
year later and were designed to measure the effects of the new
policing practices. Included in the data collection instrument were
questions on the perceived incidence of various crimes, police
effectiveness and presence, disorder, property and personal crime and
the likelihood of crime in general, feelings of safety, crime
avoidance behaviors and the use of crime prevention devices, cohesion
and satisfaction with neighborhoods, and awareness of victimization
and victimization history. The instrument also included demographic
questions on employment, education, race, and income.
