New Zealand Police 2/6/2025 News Productivity on Patrol: Measuring Efficiency Gains from AI-Assisted Police Reports with a Global Malmquist Index Report writing constitutes an important yet time-intensive task within law enforcement, prompting the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve productivity. While such technologies are often promoted as solutions to administrative inefficiencies, their real-world impact in policing remains underexplored. This study investigates the effect of AI-assisted report writing on officer productivity and efficiency using data from a randomized experiment in the Manchester Police Department (NH). The results show substantial improvements in efficiency and productivity for both the treatment and control groups after the intervention; however, only the treatment group demonstrated statistically significant productivity gains attributable to AI adoption. These findings suggest that the anticipated benefits of AI in police report writing may be overstated, underscoring the importance of rigorous empirical scrutiny when integrating technology into public sector operations. CRIMRXIV 2/6/2025 Research article Developing Useful Evidence in Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Research: A Modest Case for Case Studies This paper identifies elements of a useful evidence base for Community Violence Interventions (CVI). It pays attention to their key objectives, including reducing violence; building community support and engagement; attaining political backing; and obtaining funding resources to ensure sustainability. I review methodological and analytic challenges inherent in evaluating CVI processes and impacts within a community-focused structure. Using existing research on community and organizational-level case studies, assessments of the current state of CVI evidence and practice, and an ongoing project in St. Louis (MO) as an example, I review possible advantages of case-based reasoning and analysis in compiling useful evidence about CVIs. Those advantageous characteristics include an intentional focus on understanding initiatives from a variety of community-centered stakeholder perspectives (both individuals and groups); an ability to incorporate multiple data sources for both breadth and depth; opportunities to identify the inner and outer implementation context; the potential to leverage unavoidable CVI actions and processes in data gathering and analysis; and applying contemporary quantitative analysis tools that can facilitate credible causal inferences in complementary fashion.
