school Police partnership effectiveness in urban schools an analysis of new york city s impact schools initiative
Education and Urban Society, 2007Co-Authors: Kevin P Brady, Sharon Balmer, Deinya PhenixAbstract:Despite nationwide decreases in school crime and violence, a relatively high and increasing number of students report feeling unsafe at school. In response, some school officials are implementing school—Police partnerships, especially in urban areas, as an effort to deter criminal activity and violence in schools. This article examines the initial effect of New York City's Impact Schools Initiative, a punitive-based school—Police partnership developed in January 2004 that increases Police Presence at some of the city's most dangerous public schools. An initial examination of school-level demographic and environmental variables reveals that, despite increased Police Presence, students enrolled at New York City's impact schools continue to experience higher than average problems linked directly to future criminality, including more student suspensions and lower attendance rates than other New York City Schools. The data also reveal that relative to other New York City public schools, impact schools are more...

Chapter 6 The Challenges of School–Police Partnerships in Large Urban School Systems: An Analysis of New York City's Impact Schools Initiative
Advances in Educational Administration, 2011Co-Authors: Kevin P BradyAbstract:Despite nationwide decreases in school crime and violence levels, a relatively high and increasing number of students report feeling unsafe in their school environments. In response, many school and law enforcement officials are collaborating to develop school–Police partnerships, especially in urban areas as an effort to significantly deter student criminal activity and violence in schools. This chapter examines the beginning efforts of New York City's Impact Schools Initiative, a punitive-based school–Police partnership created in January 2004 to significantly increase Police Presence at some of New York City's most violent public schools. An initial examination of school-level demographic and environmental variables reveal that despite increased Police Presence, students enrolled at New York City's Impact Schools continue to experience higher than average problems linked directly to future criminality, including more student suspensions and lower attendance rates compared to other New York City Schools. Additionally, the data revealed that compared to other New York City public schools, Impact Schools experience greater student overcrowding and receive less funding.

Using Terror Alert Levels to Estimate the Effect of Police on Crime
The Journal of Law and Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Jonathan Klick, Alexander TabarrokAbstract:Abstract Changes in the terror alert level set by the Department of Homeland Security provide a shock to Police Presence in Washington, D.C. Using daily crime data during the period the terror alert system has been in place, we show that the level of crime decreases significantly, both statistically and economically, during high‐alert periods. The decrease in the level of crime is especially large in the National Mall. This provides strong evidence of the causal effect of Police on the level of crime and suggests a research strategy that can be used in other cities.

Using Terror Alert Levels to Estimate the Effect of Police on Crime
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003Co-Authors: Jonathan Klick, Alexander TabarrokAbstract:We argue that changes in the terror alert level set by the Department of Homeland Security provide a shock to Police Presence in the Mall area of Washington, D.C. Using daily crime data during the period the terror alert system has been in place, we show that crime drops significantly, both statistically and economically, in the Mall area relative to the other areas of Washington, D.C. This provides strong evidence of the causal effect of Police on crime and suggests a research strategy that can be used in other cities.

examining Police Presence tactics and engagement as facilitators of informal social control in high crime areas
Justice Quarterly, 2019Co-Authors: Tammy Rinehart KochelAbstract:AbstractThe systemic model of social disorganization advocates that communities can help regulate disorder and crime by exerting informal social control. This paper examines the avenues through which Police might contribute to that social process. Building upon past research, we compare the amount of Police Presence observed by residents versus residents’ awareness of and satisfaction with Police–community engagement and tactics used as mechanisms for promoting safety, confidence in Police, and social cohesion, and ultimately informal social control. Results of a structural equation model using data from a panel community survey in 71 high-crime areas suggest that simply seeing the Police is not enough. The results suggest that tactics Police use in neighborhoods and most notably, how those strategies are interpreted by residents living there can be a conduit to facilitate social cohesion and informal social control. The results have implications for Police resource allocation and best practices in crime ...
