From a rational choice perspective, Directed Patrols involves addressing the resources in small geographical locations in which there are comparatively high levels of opportunistic crime. A study was done by Kochel & Weisburd, (2017) in St Louis County, MO, reported on results of an experiment experimenting on the impact of community collaborate problem-solving versus directed patrol hot spot policing. Methods used were 71 crime hot spots were randomly assigned to receive community problem solving and directed patrol tactics. The data consisted of a panel survey by hotspot residents before and after the implementation of both tactics.
Results showed that the residents receiving directed patrol were proactively impacted, experiencing depleted growth in property crime, increase trust relative to standard practice policing and nonsignificant declines in police legitimacy immediately following the implemented period. However, problem-solving residents did not experience a significant reduction in crime in comparison to direct patrols. …show more content…
In particular, its effectiveness has also studied the role of neighbourhood variables that draw on the social disorganization of a community (Hipp, Petersilia, & Turner, 2010; Kubrin & Stewart, 2006; Morenoff, 2011). However, few studies have examined how local crime opportunities may influence parolee recidivism, such as those suggested by environmental criminology (Wortley & Mazerolle, 2008). Majority of research has examined break and enter hot spots as particular kinds of places, including bars, liquor stores, residences and public transport as being were associated with parolee recidivism. Apparently, they were not the basis for the effectiveness in reducing opportunity alone (Miller, Caplan, & Ostermann,
