The Journal (Republic of Ireland) 18/7/2025 News Do Police Stations Really Deter Crime? Many believe that the presence of a police station deters crime in the surrounding area. The source article tested this deterrence hypothesis and determined that when police stations were closed in a large metropolitan area, crime did not increase in the surrounding area (and numerous types of crime decreased). Some of these crime decreases may be a result of decreased crime reporting by the public when local police stations close, due to increased inconvenience, which suggests an easy to access online platform may assist in crime reporting if local police stations do close. This study suggests that a focus on other, more proven crime deterrence methods (e.g., hotspot policing) is more likely to reduce crime compared to a reliance on the simple presence of police stations in the area. Applied Police Briefings (Canada) 18/7/2025 Feature A 3.5 x 9-Inch Door Hanger Placed on Houses Reduced Certain Property Crimes This pilot study randomly assigned six neighbourhoods within a municipal police region to either an intervention or control condition. Following a burglary in an intervention neighbourhood, the community response team distributed door hangers with crime prevention tips, an overview of research on repeat victimization risk, and related information to the affected home and surrounding homes within a football field’s distance of the affected house. While there were non-significant decreases in the targeted crime type (burglaries), total Part 1 property crimes and thefts significantly decreased in “intervention” neighbourhoods relative to “control” neighbourhoods. This “super-cocooning” strategy informed the community about crime activity in the area and may have empowered affected residents to protect their property, lock-down valuables, and provide guardianship to the neighbourhood. Leveraging community-oriented specialized units instead of patrol officers to distribute information to the community may reduce patrol officer workload, support agencies in combatting property crime, and affect criminal opportunity structures.
