An analysis through social disorder data Summary: There is extensive literature that attempts to relate increased policing to the reduction of crime. The main difficulty is to isolate the causal effects of police presence on crime due to the clear endogeneity problem, since areas with higher crime rates tend to receive more police. However, in 2012, New York City experienced a completely exogenous raise in policing near some Jewish institutions after the occurrence of a terrorist attack in a Jewish school in Toulouse, in France. Using data from social disorder, we assessed whether the impact of increased policing was significant in regions that received more protection. Among the seven categories of incidents analyzed, drinking, noise and blocked driveways showed statistically significant reduction. Details: Unpublished paper, 2015. 26p.

Author: Mulligan, Kerry Title: Justice Data Brief: Understanding New York City's 311 Data Summary: KEY FINDINGS: 1. The number of 311 calls for service in New York City has increased every year since 2012. 2. In 2018, New Yorkers made nearly 2.7 million requests for service via 311: -The majority of 311 complaints were related to the conditions of buildings, public space, and noise. -Less than 2% of calls were related to "social disorder" in 2018, most of which were calls for homelessness (24,867 calls) or graffiti (21,096 calls). -Drug activity, disorderly youth, public drinking, and urinating in public accounted for less than 0.2% of all calls in 2018 (a total of 4,218 calls). 3. 311 data are not a perfect measure of neighborhood conditions, as the volume of calls is also impacted by: -Characteristics of individuals and neighborhoods that shape their propensity to call 311 to request government assistance; and -Government initiatives targeting specific social issues, such as homelessness and graffiti.
