Questions are specific equal for lectures and readings police(one specific organization) vs policing (can be done by other people than police) private policing- can go anywhere and see a security guard. Kansas city preventive patrol experiment -1972 and had 15 police beat divided them into 3 groups, and each group had a condition (routine preventative patrol- look for trouble the control group) In another one of groups preventative patrol was eliminated- only go into neighbourhood if there was a call. Would it affect victimization surveys? no very little effect on burglary, robbery etc. *standard policing is based on the assumption that generic strategies for crime reduction can be applied throughout a jurisdiction regardless of level of crime, nature of crime, or other variation. Police getting in cars cruising around looking for trouble.
