Citations in the corpus

• The effectiveness of vehicle security devices and their role in the crime drop (2011, background): “Significant falls in crime have been identified in other countries including Australia, Canada, Japan and elsewhere (see, for example, Rosenfeld, 2009; Rosenfeld and Messner, 2009; Tseloni et al., 2010; Zimring, 2007).”
• Public Safety through Private Action: an Economic Assessment of BIDS* (2011, unknown): “…private actions arguably deserve a more central role in the analysis of crime and crime prevention policy.1 But the leading scholarly commentaries on the crime drop during the 1990s have largely ignored the role of the private sector (Blumstein and Wallman, 2000; Levitt, 2004; Zimring, 2007).”
• The typification of Hispanics as criminals and support for punitive crime control policies (2011, background): “…that a variety of other social structural factors have contributed to a reduction of crime and that criminal justice measures may only be minimally and inconsistently related to it (Clear, 2008; Zimring, 2007).1 Crime clearly does not account for the changes the American penal system has witnessed.”
• An Analysis of the New York City Police Department's “Stop-and-Frisk” Policy in the Context of Claims of Racial Bias (2007, background): “Police Department (NYPD) during the 1990s has been widely credited as a major source of the city’s sharp crime decline (Zimring 2006).”
• Saving Human Lives: What Complexity Science and Information Systems can Contribute (2014, unknown): “Beside structural factors, such as unemployment [48, 49] and economic deprivation [50], a number of studies have highlighted the influence of demography [51], youth culture [52, 53], social institutions [54] and urban development [55].”
