Title: Policing Football in Europe: Experiences from Peer Review Evaluation Teams

Summary: Large scale public order police operations are a regular occurrence in almost every country, both in the context of sporting events and protest demonstrations. A model developed by Adang in 2000 for the evaluation of large scale police operations in general was developed and applied in practice during the Euro 2000 and 2004 football championships. This report presents the results from this evaluation.

Title: Police and Thieves in the Stadium: Measuring the (Multiple) Effects of Football Matches on Crime

Summary: During large sporting events criminal behaviour may impact on criminal behaviour via three main channels: (i) fan concentration, (ii) self incapacitation, and (iii) police displacement. In this paper I exploit information on football (soccer) matches for nine London teams linked to detailed recorded crime data at the area level to empirically estimate these different effects. My findings show that only property crime significantly increases in the communities hosting football matches but that they experience no changes in violent offences. These results are robust to controlling for a large number of game type and outcome characteristics. There is no evidence of temporal displacement of criminal activity. Our conceptual model suggests that the away game attendance effect on crime is due to voluntary incapacitation of potential offenders. I argue that the police displacement effect of hosting a match increases property crime by 7 percentage point for every extra 10,000 supporters.

Title: An Evaluation of Football Banning Orders in Scotland

Summary: The aim of this research was to investigate the operation and effectiveness of Football Banning Orders in Scotland. This involved investigating the interpretation and application of legislation; the use of operational procedures to give effect to that legislation; stakeholder understanding and perceptions of FBOs; the effectiveness of FBOs in preventing further offending; and examining – and , if appropriate, learning lessons from – the application and use of FBOs in England and Wales. In pursuing these complex aims, it was intended that this evaluation should generate lessons and recommendations as to how the FBO scheme might be enhanced in Scotland.

Title: Late Weekend Kick-Offs at Premier Football Matches and Their Possible Link to Increased Levels of Alcohol-Related ASB and Disorder

Summary: The main objective of this study, which was commissioned by the Government Office for London, was to determine whether late weekend kick-offs at premiership football clubs in London were associated with increased levels of alcohol-related crime and disorder. A comprehensive literature search was mounted to identify relevant previous studies. Only one that was directly related to the issue was identified. This compared two local derbies played between Portsmouth and Southampton, where the later Saturday kick-off appeared to be associated with higher levels of alcohol-related crime and disorder. For the study reported here a wide range of data were collected from British Transport Police, the Metropolitan Police Service, the London Ambulance Service, and the UK Football Policing Unit. These referred to crime and disorder related incidents, crimes and arrests in and around grounds where games were played. The data encompassed records over the four seasons, beginning with 2005-6. In all some 580 games were included in the analysis. Two methods were used to interrogate the data. The first approach identified all late Saturday kick-offs that occurred for the identified clubs in London in the period covered by the research and paired these games with matching games played between the same sides at other times of the week, where possible (for 8 games) earlier on a Saturday. The patterns of crime and disorder associated with the late Saturday kick-off and other games were compared. No consistent difference was found. The second method involved a multiple regression and drew in data from all 580 games that involved the relevant clubs or their grounds taking into account a wide range of variables that may have plausibly been associated with alcohol-related crime and disorder in and around grounds. Substantially it came to the same conclusion as the matched game analysis. No systematic empirical support for the notion that late Saturday kick-off games are associated with elevated levels of alcohol-related crime and disorder emerged. It may, of course, be that the data used failed to capture real differences between later Saturday kick-off games and others, but there was nothing positive to suggest that this is the case. It appears more possible, however, that the late Saturday games were not marked by especially high levels of crime and disorder because of the influence exerted by the police over which games are played with a late kick-off on a Saturday. Where problems are expected the police oppose the scheduling of games at this time. The findings of this research may be read as vindicating police decision-making over which games to agree to although some might argue that this hypothesis should have been tested more directly. The multiple regression looked at the data to see if there were other reliable predictors of levels of crime and disorder at football matches. The most marked finding was that derby matches (matches between two London teams) were associated with higher levels of arrests and that league matches tend to have lower levels of crime and disorder than other games. It is difficult to generalize these findings to other games played in other leagues or to games played outside London. It might be useful to extend the analysis to these. Moreover, further work to identify predictors from crime and disorder at football matches might be fruitful, drawing on a wider range of matches.
