FULL AGENDA TUESDAY, AUGUST 14TH INNOVATION HALL 103

PLACE-BASED RESEARCH AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE 9:25 AM - 12:15 PM

8:30 AM REGISTRATION - Innovation Hall - First Floor Lobby 9:15 AM WELCOME - David Weisburd, Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy 9:25 AM DO CRIME PATTERNS REMAIN CONSTANT OVER TIME AND ACROSS CRIME TYPES? Evidence- based criminal justice policy is, by definition, based on the analysis of historical crime data. Consequently, we must assume that the relationships we find continue to be present when policy is put into place. When considering spatial crime patterns, we often assume they are constant over time and constant across multiple crime types. In this paper, MARTIN ANDRESEN of Simon Fraser University, tests these assumptions and finds they are not always appropriate. 9:55 AM OBSERVING DISORDER AT PLACES. WHAT CAN WE LEARN ABOUT IT? Police surveillance should focus more on social disorder than on physical disorder, argues GERBEN BRUINSMA, of the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement. He presents results and policy implications from the first systematic observation of disorder conducted in Amsterdam and The Hague at very small street segments (200 meters). Researchers recorded physical and social disorders at 2,110 and 1,442 locations respectively. The findings show that physical disorder is much more often observed than social disorder and that these Dutch figures are higher than those observed in Chicago by Sampson & Raudenbush (1999). 10:25 AM SHORT BREAK 10:35 AM CRIME, PLACE AND THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM. Recent media attention has focused on the assumed crime increases that occur after rental assistance families relocate to new neighborhoods. In this presentation RONALD WILSON, of the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, will discuss the results from testing whether crime increases after assisted families relocate to new neighborhoods and what housing and criminal justice policies, including policing approaches, might be combined to prevent the emergence of social problems. 11:05 AM DOING MORE WITH LESS: STOP, QUESTION AND FRISK AS AN INDICATOR OF HOT SPOT POLICING. Do NYPD policing strategies fit an evidence-based model of what would be expected to be effective in reducing crime? If the police have an important role in the crime drop, how might crime have continued to decline during a period when the number of police has declined? BRIAN LAWTON, CODY TELEP and DAVID WEISBURD, of George Mason University, discuss whether policing could have contributed to the crime drop in New York City by examining these questions in the context of ‘stop, question and frisk,’ using GIS and spatial analysis. 11:35 AM DOES WHAT POLICE DO AT VIOLENT CRIME HOT SPOTS MATTER? The evidence base in support of focusing police efforts at hot spots of crime is large and growing. But which policing strategies are effective when directed at small, violent crime places is an open question. Here, ELIZABETH GROFF, JERRY RATCLIFFE, CORY HABERMAN and EVAN SORG of Temple University, examine the relative effectiveness of three different policing strategies: foot patrol, offender focus, and problem-oriented policing as compared to control sites across 81 of the most violent areas in Philadelphia. 12:10 PM Please follow signs and CEBCP staff to the Johnson Center, DEWBERRY for the Awards Luncheon
