Survey on Street Disorder in Large Municipalities in the United States, 1994-1996
The objective of this survey was to provide city officials
and police with information on how to carry out street disorder
enforcement strategies within the constitutional guidelines
established by the courts. To that end, a survey of 512 municipal
police departments was conducted in the spring of 1996. The agencies
were asked to supply data for the current year as well as for 1994 and
1995. Information was collected on the existence of particular street
disorder ordinances, when such ordinances were passed, the number of
citations and arrests resulting from each ordinance, and whether the
ordinances were challenged in court. Data covered the following types
of street disorder: panhandling, open containers of alcohol, public
intoxication, disorderly conduct, sleeping in public places,
unregulated day labor solicitation, vending, dumpster diving, camping
in public, and juvenile curfews. Departments were also asked about
their written policies regarding certain types of street
disorder. Other departmental information includes location, number of
personnel, and population of jurisdiction.
