Summary of the key research by Wilson and Keiling | Safe neighbourhoods - broken window theory does impact crime . increased foot patrols officers made the community feel safer also lead to foot patrol officers having more job satisfaction
The change role of the police - pattern of policing led to urban decay for example in ww2 they were more foot patrol officers prevented crime more, and less patrol cars more public transport |
Maintaining order | Maintaining order - foot patrol officers got to know the community and worked with the community to make them feel more supported |
Conclusion of wilson and keiling reseach | broken window theory explains relationship between low level and serious crime
public order should be created and maintained by community and police |
Evaluation of the key research by Wilson and Keilling | Useful - apply the pratical application to real life to prevent crime
Validity - secondary data - bias's could lead to lack of validity and is subjective
temporal validity as crimes have changed
Zimbardo research was in Bronx and California high eco v |
Applications for Crime prevention | - Neighbourhood watch schemes - collectively defending tertitary supports Newman's and wilson and keiling findings |
