Victims of eligible burglaries were randomly allocated to intention-to-treat and control groups in three New Zealand Police districts. Following the qualifying burglary, intention-to-treat victims were offered free installation of window and door locks, security lights and improved lines of sight (foliage trimming). Revictimisation, perceptions of safety and police, and displacement outcomes were measured using police administrative data and a survey of victims. During the first trial year, there was no effect on revictimisation but positive effects on victims’ perceptions. Supplementary analyses suggest implementation and contextual factors which contributed to the lack of effect on revictimisation. The findings highlight the limitations of CPTED interventions in particular contexts and confirm the importance of delivering prompt, contextually tailored interventions for the prevention of repeat burglary victimisation. Journal of Experimental Criminology - Registration at source 11/1/2022 Research article The Potential Introduction of Police-Issued Family Violence Intervention Orders in Victoria, Australia: Considering the Unintended Consequences The Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence, in its landmark 2016 report, recommended that in five years – 2021 – the Victorian Government consider expanding police powers to include the ability to grant on-the-spot family violence intervention orders. Such orders would see a bypassing of judicial oversight where deemed appropriate, thus mirroring the Tasmanian model, where police can issue orders for up to 12 months, unless the respondent seeks to have the order varied or revoked in court. There is currently a division in the family violence sector as to the appropriateness of police-issued civil protection orders, with many family violence advocates raising significant concerns. This article considers current debates regarding police-issued civil protection orders and highlights the misidentification of women victim-survivors of family violence as predominant aggressors as a possible unintended consequence of such reform. With the Victorian Government due to respond to Recommendation 59 of the Royal Commission into Family Violence this year, this commentary provides a timely analysis of sector debates and reinforces the potential harms of increasing police powers in a space where they have historically responded poorly.
