The Globe and Mail (Canada) 11/2/2025 News Testing application-based tasking and hotspots policing in a geographically large, non-metropolitan police service: a two-in-one randomised trial Purpose: Test the impact of mobile application-targeted patrols of Joint Operations Unit officers at hotspots of violent crime on levels of patrol conducted, and levels of violence in those locations. Methods: Crossover-randomized experiment, with hotspots (n = 45) randomly allocated using a mobile phone-based tasking application, with half allocated each day. Impact on levels of patrol and of violent crime were examined using t and chi-squared tests. Results: Tasking via app led to dramatically increased officer time in hotspots. An 8.74% decrease in violent crime was seen but was non-significant, and with lower effect sizes than have been found elsewhere. Conclusion: Using a tasking application provided a cost-effective mechanism for achieving hotspots patrols using business-as-usual resources. Traditionally designed hotspots didn’t appear optimal for policing violent crime in Thames Valley, and these need to be redesigned to work for the geography and crime density in Thames Valley. Further research should test redesigned hotspots. Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing 11/2/2025 Research article «262263264265266267268269270Next ›Last » Upcoming events View all events
