Are U.S. Cities Underpoliced? Theory and Evidence (2017, background): “Declines in crime have been linked to the adoption of “hot spots” policing (Sherman & Rogan, 1995; Sherman & Weisburd, 1995; Braga, 2001, 2005; Weisburd, 2005; Braga & Bond, 2008; Berk & MacDonald, 2010), “problem-oriented” policing (Braga, et al., 1999; Braga et al., 2001; Weisburd et al., 2010),…”
Criminal Deterrence: A Review of the Literature (2017, background): “…to spatial displacement have been linked to the adoption of “hot spots” policing (Sherman and Rogan 1995, Sherman and Weisburd 1995, Braga 2001, Braga 2005, Weisburd 2005, Braga and Bond 2008, and Berk and MacDonald 2010), “problem-oriented” policing (Braga et al. 1999; Braga et al. 2001;…”
Crime and Economic Incentives (2000, background): “The latter literature on deployment is then marked by a tactical focus that covers hot-spots research in criminology (e.g., Braga 2005, Sherman & Weisburd 1995) and quasi-experimental work on large-scale police operations (as in DiTella & Schargrodsky 2004 or Draca et al. 2011).”
The Predictive Policing Challenges of Near Repeat Armed Street Robberies (2012, background): “…body of empirical research demonstrating the effectiveness of different hot spot policing tactics in crime hot spots (for general summaries, see, Braga, 2005; Lum et al., 2011; for a specific example , see, Ratcliffe et al., in Press), it seems to make more sense for police commanders to focus…”
Is Gun Violence Contagious? A Spatiotemporal Test (2018, methodology): “Non-diffusion models, by contrast, suggest the need for placebased interventions that address persistent underlying structures (Braga, 2005; Weisburd et al., 2012) To test these alternative possibilities and to more precisely describe the spatiotemporal point process of contemporary gun violence,…”
Effects of Improved Street Lighting on Crime (2008, background): “This proliferation of projects led to a detailed review of the effects of street lighting on crime by Tien (1979), as part of the National Evaluation Program of Law Enforcement Assistance Agency (LEAA) funding. Their report described how the 103 street lighting projects originally identified were ev”
Publication bias as a threat to the validity of meta-analytic results (2008, background): “For example, although Braga (2005) , in his meta-analysis of hotspots policing, found a relationship between sample size and effect size that he suggested was a function of implementation problems in two of the included studies [those from the Repeat Call Address Policing (RECAP) experiment], he di”
Bridging Structure and Perception On the Neighbourhood Ecology of Beliefs and Worries About Violent Crime (2014, background): “1989; see also Braga 2005; Johnson 2010) then beliefs about gun, knife and gang crime may be more strongly shaped by neighbourhood context and neighbourhood conditions (assuming of course that people’s perceptions of local crime problems partly ‘track’ the reality of crime in their area).”
Does Hot Spots Policing Have Meaningful Impacts on Crime? Findings from An Alternative Approach to Estimating Effect Sizes from Place-Based Program Evaluations (2020, methodology): “An ongoing Campbell Collaboration systematic review of hot spots policing on crime used the Cohen’s d metric to represent the results of individual studies as well as when estimating an overall mean program effect in meta-analyses (Braga 2005; Braga et al.”
The Effects of Hot Spots Policing on Crime: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2014, methodology): “hot spots policing experiments (Braga 2005) identified five randomized controlled trials that did report sufficient data to conduct a meta-analysis of program effects.”
Non-Production Benefits of Education: Crime, Health, and Good Citizenship (2011, background): “54For a recent survey of this literature, see Braga (2005).”
Reducing Gang Violence Using Focused Deterrence: Evaluating the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV) (2013, background): “back to old behaviors? Many law enforcement efforts typically demonstrate short-term success, but long-term change remains elusive (Braga, 2005; Koper & Mayo-Wilson, 2006; Rosenbaum, 2007; Sherman, 1990).”
Randomized Controlled Field Trials of Predictive Policing (2015, unknown): “In theory, police patrol can prevent crime on a day-to-day basis by altering or disrupting the environmental conditions suitable for crime (Sampson, Raudenbush, and Earls 1997; Weisburd and Eck 2004).”
