Annotation

THE IMPACT PROGRAM IS EXAMINED IN TERMS OF ITS CRIME CONTROL POLICIES AND OF THE EXPECTATIONS GENERATED FOR IT AT ITS INCEPTION.

Abstract

THE FIRST PART OF THE REPORT DISCUSSES THE PROGRAM'S POTENTIAL FOR ACHIEVEMENT PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION. THE NEXT SECTION ANALYZES THE FEASIBILITY AND USEFULNESS OF THE TWO PROGRAM INNOVATIONS -- THE CRIME ANALYSIS TEAM AND THE COPIE-CYCLE (CRIME-ORIENTED PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION). PART THREE EXPLORES THE QUESTIONS OF PROJECT OUTCOME AND OF CITYWIDE CHANGES IN CRIME RATES AND LEVELS, CONSIDERING THESE AS CORRELATES RATHER THAN AS DEPENDENT VARIABLES. THE LAST SECTION, AN OVERALL PROGRAM ASSESSMENT, CONTAINS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. DEMOGRAPHIC DATA ARE PRESENTED FOR EACH CITY PRIOR TO PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. PROJECT INNOVATIONS ARE EVALUATED FOR THE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE AND FOR EACH IMPACT CITY: PORTLAND, DALLAS, CLEVELAND, SAINT LOUIS, NEWARK (NEW JERSEY), BALTIMORE, AND ATLANTA.
