A lot of research supports the idea that putting more money into resources that improve people’s lives, like health care, housing and education, can reduce crime. The more nebulous question is how removing police funding might affect public safety:
That lack of uniformity makes it difficult to compare police departments that have implemented similar policies. “To understand if a police reform is actually working the way you want, you need to be able to see what officers do in the field and figure out whether the reform you’re looking at changed that,” said, a criminology professor at the University of California, Irvine.
Case in point: The practice of hot spot policing. This is one of the best researched policing techniques and — after some 40-odd randomized controlled trials, by one expert’s count — also. The basic idea is that crime is clustered throughout a city or neighborhood, so police should target those areas that see higher levels of crime.
These statistics also don’t tell researchers anything about what police should be doing in a hot spot — or what police do in communities every day. Researchers have established that it’s effective to spend more time in certain parts of town … but, Telep said, have offered little guidance on what police should do once they’re there.
