Understanding and Place: A Primer for Local Leaders Implementing Place-Based Crime Initiatives

There are many reasons to focus on specific places when fighting against crime in a community. www.lisc.org/BCJI A location won’t move and often has a steady set of characteristics, so researchers have an opportunity to study how and why crime occurs regularly at that place and targeted place-based anti-crime and quality-of-life strategies can have an impact over a relatively short period of time. It can be possible to identify “who owns crime” at a place—that is, who is in charge of a location (owner, manager, or other) and can be compelled to come into compliance with the law with persuasion or penalties, including to the loss of property. In contrast to focusing on criminality in offenders, focusing on the criminality of places can be more efficient, and potentially more cost-effective, because there are fewer targets.

For community-based organizations, local social service agencies, residents, The BCJI Approach and other leaders in Byrne Innovation Program (BCJI) These powerful themes run communities, the concept of focusing on high crime areas might make intuitive through all BCJI projects. sense. It is also useful, however, to understand how the study of crime and place, sometimes called environmental , is supported by research DATA-DRIVEN and experience. BCJI targets crime hot spots – often streets, properties or public spaces in communities Environmental criminology includes a focus on examining how the geographic that have struggled with crime for or physical characteristics of a place can make that place more susceptible to years. Researchers are engaged criminal activity, and then how those opportunities can be altered or removed in the day-to-day work, helping partners examine problems, assess to reduce crime. “Routine activities theory,” for example, suggests that crime evidence-based solutions, and only happens when a victim and a motivated offender meet at the same place monitor progress. and time, in the absence of capable guardianship. If we remove one of these COMMUNITY-ORIENTED: elements, the crime cannot occur. Traditional policing focuses on the offender. BCJI champions active roles for Place-based crime prevention efforts aim to change and/or remove the residents in identifying problems, opportunity for crime in locations where are known to occur relatively selecting strategies and creating safe and healthy environments. frequently. SPURS REVITALIZATION: Typical of academic research, environmental criminology defines its terms BCJI tackles problem very specifically and carefully measures the impact of programs and initiatives. properties, unsafe streets and parks, unemployment, transit Partners from universities and law enforcement may use the terms and barriers and service gaps related concepts from this research when suggesting strategies and ideas, or present to crime. case studies or datasets that reference these ideas. This paper provides the BUILDS PARTNERSHIPS: basics on the state of the art of what is known about place-based crime and BCJI taps the resources of initiatives to reduce it, giving an overview of the terminology of the field and public, nonprofit and community leaders to bring more resources how a researcher understands the basic building blocks of crime and place. and different approaches to bear on longstanding crime challenges

Place-based Policing More than simply policing that occurs at a specific location, place-based policing theoretically aims to alter the emphasis of an entire police organization from offenders to the places and contexts where crime occurs. Place-based policing is often linked only with hot spots policing, but it can also include responses informed by problem-oriented policing, community policing, broken windows policing, place management, CPTED/ defensible space, crime pattern theory, routine activities theory, and situational crime prevention, among others. www.lisc.org/BCJI Problem-oriented Policing www.lisc.org/BCJI POP is a theory that attempts to refocus police from When first introduced, few agencies were willing to the means of policing (how activities are carried out) try POP because there wasn’t a specific step-by-step to the ends of policing (reducing crime). POP broadly explanation of the process. Eck and Spelman, working aims to identify long-term problems that are of concern with the Police Executive Research Forum, came up to the police and the community, thoroughly examine with the acronym SARA, which stands for Scanning, the problems and their potential causes, develop Analysis, Response, and Assessment. After any one step, multi-pronged responses aimed at eliminating the participants may need to repeat an earlier step (e.g., if problem (beyond the traditional response), and then a response isn’t working, to go back to scanning and assessing the impact to see if further work is needed. analysis to revise problem definition). Note, though, that SARA is not a simple step-by-step guide for conducting POP. Both programs are much more complex than they might initially appear to be.

POP was popular among police agencies in the 1990s and early 2000s, and thousands of POP-inspired projects have been conducted throughout the world. In recent years, many departments have taken on fewer true POP projects but do use some POP techniques to supplement their CompStat, hot spot, or community policing efforts. Unfortunately, due to weak assessment capabilities of most police departments, there are only a handful of true evaluations of POP. A meta-analysis of ten rigorously evaluated POP projects found “an overall modest but statistically significant impact of POP on crime and disorder,” and a wider examination of less rigorously evaluated projects found an overwhelmingly positive impact from POP.”

Risk Terrain Modeling A GIS process introduced by Caplan and Kennedy in 2011, risk terrain modeling aims to incorporate past crime events and community features (such as density of bars, parks, bus stops, and liquor stores) to identify where the risk of future crimes is highest. Risk terrain modeling may be viewed as an advanced form of hot spot mapping. However, there are debates as to whether it actually provides an added benefit for planning police deployments beyond what can be gleaned from hot spot maps, as well as whether the process actually predicts future risk or is FUNDAMENTALS only a reflection of past risk.
