Perinteinen omaisuusrikollisuus vähentynyt nuorilla
Haaste 3/2005. Nuorten rikoskäyttäytymisen kehitys vuosina 1995–2004 vaihtelee rikoslajeittain. Näpistely, varastelu ja omaisuuden tahallinen vahingoittaminen on selvästi vähentynyt. Vuonna 1995 lähes puolet 15–16-vuotiaista oli varastanut, kun nykyään vain joka kolmas nuori osallistuu varastamiseen. Vahingontekoihin osallistuneita oli tutkimusjakson alussa noin kolmannes ja jakson lopussa noin viidennes. Samalla kun tekoihin osallistuneiden nuorten määrä on alentunut, myös tehtyjen rikosten määrä on vähentynyt.

A Review of CCTV Evaluations: Crime Reduction Effects and Attitudes Towards Its Use. Crime Prevention Studies, Volume 10. 1999.
This paper reviews studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of closed circuit television (CCTV) in reducing crime, disorder and fear of crime in a variety of sites. The paper concludes that CCTV can be effective in deterring property crime, but the findings are more mixed in relation to personal crime, public order offences, and fear of crime. Public attitudes towards the use of CCTV in public spaces are also considered, as is the issue of civil liberties and the targeting of marginalized groups.

A Review of Street Lighting Evaluations: Crime Reduction Effects. Crime Prevention Studies, Volume 10. 1999.
Consideration of the literature concerning street lighting effects on crime yields the following conclusions: (1) Precisely targeted increases in street lighting generally have crime reduction effects. (2) More general increases in street lighting seem to have crime prevention effects, but this outcome is not universal. (3) Even untargeted increases in crime prevention generally make residents less fearful of crime or more confident of their own safety at night. (4) In the most recent and sophisticated studies, street lighting improvements are associated with crime reductions in the daytime as well as during the hours of darkness. (5) The debate about lighting effects has served to preclude a more refined analysis of the means by and circumstances in which lighting might reduce crime. Our aim should now be to use context-appropriate lighting schemes as part off` a full repertoire of crime reduction tactics.

Street Lighting and Crime: Diffusion of Benefits in the Stoke-on-Trent Project. Crime Prevention Studies, Volume 10. 1999.
Using a victim survey, the prevalence and incidence of crime were measured 12 months before and 12 months after the installation of improved street lighting in an experimental area of Stoke-on-Trent, U.K.; and at the same times in adjacent and control areas where the street lighting remained unchanged. The prevalence of crime decreased by 26% in the experimental area and by 21 % in the adjacent area, but increased by 12% in the control area. The incidence of crime decreased by 43% in the experimental area and by 45% in the adjacent area, but decreased by only 2% in the control area. Police-recorded crimes in the whole police area also decreased by only 2%. It is concluded that the improved street lighting caused a substantial decrease in crime in the experimental area, and that there was a diffusion of these benefits to the adjacent area (which was not clearly delimited from the experimental area). Furthermore, the benefits of improved street lighting, in terms of the savings to the public from crimes prevented, greatly outweighed its costs.

Thefts from Cars in Center-City Parking Facilities: A Case Study in Implementing Problem-Oriented Policing. Crime Prevention Studies, Volume 15. 2003. This paper describes a problem-oriented policing project, extending over a period of more than two years, which was designed to reduce thefts from cars parked in the center-city of Charlotte, NC. A This analysis showed (1) that risks of theft were much greater in lots than in decks and (2) that higher risks of theft in lots were associated with inadequate fencing, poor lighting and the absence of attendants. The paper concludes with a discussion of the difficulties encountered by police in undertaking problem-oriented projects, and of ways to help them meet these difficulties.
