Police Oracle - Subscription at source 30/4/2025 News The effect of police force size on the reporting of nonphysical injury crime This study examines the effect of police force size on the reporting of violent crimes, using data from 220 U.S. cities across three time periods (2013, 2016, 2020). Employing a cross-lagged panel model, we investigate the relationship between police presence and citizens’ reporting behavior, distinguishing violent crimes by the presence or absence of physical victim injury. Results indicate no significant cross-lagged effects between police force size and nonphysical injury crime reporting, suggesting increased police presence does not amplify reporting of less severe crimes. These findings challenge assumptions about police visibility’s impact on crime reporting and imply that reallocating resources to social services may better reduce crime and improve community safety.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 30/4/2025 Analysis, Feature, Innovation Effects of CCTV on Fear of Crime: A Systematic Literature Review This systematic literature review examines the effects of closed-circuit television (CCTV) on fear of crime. Although extensive research has explored CCTV’s impact on crime rates, studies focusing specifically on fear are fewer and often inconclusive, despite fear reduction being a common motivation for CCTV installation. Applying strict inclusion criteria, 15 eligible studies were reviewed. The results were inconsistent: some studies reported reductions in fear, while others showed mixed or negligible effects. Notably, affective measures, particularly feelings of safety, tended to yield more positive outcomes than cognitive or behavioral measures. The review highlights significant methodological challenges, including vague survey items, limited demographic reporting, and small sample sizes, which complicate the interpretation of findings. It emphasizes the need for more rigorous, well-designed studies to better assess CCTV's impact on fear of crime and calls for greater attention to survey design and measurement validity.
