The Effectiveness of Police Patrols Against Street Crimes

Abstract

. This paper aims to describe the effectiveness of the implementation of police patrols to prevent and eradicate crime on the streets. To get the results of a comprehensive analysis, this research uses a qualitative approach with a normative juridical method. The results of the analysis show that police patrols seem effective in dealing with crime on the streets, but are less effective in preventing them. Support from the community is needed to proactively provide information to the patrol team so that street crime prevention can take place effectively.
