BiometricUpdate.com 8/12/2025 News Short infrequent police stops maximize crime-free time at street segments: Revisiting the Koper curve to establish optimal police dosage Establishing optimal police dosage is central to evidence-based policing. The current consensus is that 15-minute patrols represent the optimal level of such dosage. This study revisits this central assumption of police research and practice, by examining the relationship between the duration and frequency of police patrol and the timing of subsequent crime at the street segment level. Drawing on 21,581 GPS-tracked police stops and 45,987 citizen-reported crimes across 25,844 street segments in Antwerp, Belgium, during 2019, we employ accelerated-failure time survival models to estimate time-to-subsequent-crime. Our findings challenge the 15-minute standard: Shorter, infrequent police visits—particularly those lasting 6–15 minutes and occurring once every 24 hours—are associated with longer crime-free intervals across all street types, including hot spots and the most crime-prone ‘hottest spots’. In contrast, prolonged or more frequent patrols yield diminishing returns. These results suggest that tailoring patrol strategies to local crime concentrations and embracing variability in dosage may enhance deterrence while conserving police resources. We argue for a re-evaluation of the Koper Curve and call for more granular, context-sensitive approaches to patrol planning.

College of Policing 8/12/2025 Feature Can and should police tell victim-survivors ‘I believe you’ during sexual offence investigations? It is well-established that victim-survivors value feeling believed when they report sexual violence, yet there is often confusion about whether police can express belief in victim-survivors’ accounts. In this article, we seek to provide clarification regarding the communication of belief to victim-survivors during sexual offence investigations. We focus on the jurisdiction of Victoria (Australia) and draw on police policies and Australian legislation to argue that police can (and should) make genuine expressions of belief to victim-survivors. We unpack the purpose of the police investigation as well as the potential relevance of ‘belief’ expressions at trial. We also convey the importance of demonstrating belief through investigative actions and avoiding a climate of disbelief, particularly in terms of minimising trauma for victim-survivors and bolstering the evidence in sexual offence investigations. Implications for other common law jurisdictions are also discussed.
