S.A.R.A Model
Crime is everywhere in large cities, small towns, suburbs ect. How one goes about preventing and finding a solution for repetitive and reoccurring crime within these areas is very important. There many ways both law enforcement and communities try to solve and prevent these crimes. One of these prevention techniques that is considered to be one of the best is the S.A.R.A model. The S.A.R.A model has four parts. Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment.
Scanning is looking for problems in your community. These problems can be onetime events or reoccurring problems. Scanning and the S.A.R.A model however are most applicable for reoccurring crime. When scanning a community …show more content…
After looking into these questions and finding tentative answer the process of this crime prevention moves on to the Response approach of the S.A.R.A model
Response when defined with in S.A.R.A is “Acting to alleviate the problem” (Mill, Hess, Orthman 2014 Pg. 96). When in the response stage of S.A.R.A looking at the problem and the first to stages of the process is important. The goal of Response is to find a solution or alternative to the current situation. Some ways this can be accomplished is getting a group from the community and talking about possible solutions and then implementing them. After the implementation of the response come Assessment.
Assessment according to the authors is “evaluating how effective the intervention was” (Mill, Hess and Orthman 2014 Pg. 96). In this stage the researchers look at how effective the response was. The ask questions from both the qualitative and quantitative research methods. Traditionally the data collected is from before and after.

First I would Scan my patrol area and identify the main problem. This problem would be tire dumping across my patrol area. I would look to see if there was a factor that was causing this dumping. For example if my patrol area had no area for rubber recycle within its limit. Once this was established I would then analyze the situation. I would first look into how long the criminal activity had been going on. I would look into often it happened and what times of day this dumping was taking place. After finding the answers to the questions I asked I would then move on to the Response stage of S.A.R.A. During this stage I would set up town and community meetings to see if the people in these communities had suggestions. I would also see if they were on board with establishing a monthly route for community recycle. This would consist of volunteers who would pick up tires and other recycles and drive them to the recycle center. I would also suggest a community cleanup operation and more street lights at these locations. If approved this would be my implemented response. I would then move on to the assessment stage. For this stage I would gather new data on the frequency of dumping and compare it to the previous data. The result would tell me numerically if the actions that I took had a positive effect on the community. This would be an example of using a
