Where can I find police patrol studies?

Studies on the effectiveness of police patrols can be found on the CrimeSolutions website. Once on the site, conduct a search for the term "patrol". The CrimeSolutions site uses rigorous research to inform practitioners and policy makers about what works in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services and includes multiple program evaluations for hot spot policing initiatives.

Additional research on targeted police patrols is available in the following resources produced or sponsored by the National Institute of Justice:

• Does Crime Just Move Around the Corner? A Study of Displacement and Diffusion in Jersey City, NJ
