This presentation is an examination of the lasting effects of hot spot policing on reducing property crimes. Since property crimes are committed most frequently, it seemed imperative to decipher which policing initiatives were most effective in combating this problem. Six studies were evaluated and the property crime rates were examined for the five years following each initiative’s implementation. These rates were compared to the state and national averages and ultimately compared to the data of the other interventions. It was concluded that the most effective programs were those that involved comprehensive policy initiatives and increased community interaction.
