Effects of Foot Patrol Policing in Boston, 1977-1985
This collection evaluates the impact of a new foot patrol
plan, implemented by the Boston Police Department, on incidents of
crime and neighborhood disturbances. Part 1 contains information on
service calls by types of criminal offenses such as murder, rape,
aggravated assault, simple assault, robbery, larceny, burglary, and
auto theft. It also contains data on types of community disturbances
such as noisy party, gang, or minor disturbance and response priority
of the incidents. Response priorities are classified according to a
four-level scale: Priority 1: emergency calls including crimes in
progress, high risk or personal injury, and medical emergencies,
Priority 2: calls of intermediate urgency, Priority 3: calls not
requiring immediate response, Priority 4: calls of undetermined
priority. Parts 2 and 3 include information about patrol time used in
each of the three daily shifts during the pre- and post-intervention
periods. Part 4 presents information similar to Parts 2 and 3 but the
data span a longer period of time--approximately seven years.
