Abstract

Objective To update the 2011 results of the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix, a tool for analyzing, visualizing, and translating research on police crime prevention strategies. Methods We added 177 experimental and quasi-experimental studies to the original Matrix sample of 97 ( n = 274). We coded studies based on the intervention target, the reactivity or proactivity of the strategy, the generality or focus of the strategy, the research design, and the study outcomes. We analyzed the association of intervention characteristics and research designs with study outcomes using bivariate cross-tabulations and multivariate models. Results Broadly, strategies appear most effective when they are place-based, proactive, and tailored to specific problems. In multivariate analyses controlling for study rigor (which is inversely related to successful outcomes), strategies are most effective when they are focused in nature and targeted on micro-places. Conclusions Despite substantial growth in police research, conclusions about effective crime reduction strategies remain very similar.

14年的循证警务矩阵

目的更新2011年基于证据的警务矩阵（一种用于分析、可视化和翻译警察预防犯罪策略研究的工具）的结果。方法在原有97份Matrix样本（n = 274）的基础上，增加177份实验和准实验研究。我们根据干预目标、策略的反应性或主动性、策略的一般性或重点、研究设计和研究结果对研究进行编码。我们使用双变量交叉表和多变量模型分析了干预特征和研究设计与研究结果的关联。结果：总的来说，当策略基于地点、积极主动、针对具体问题量身定制时，它们显得最有效。在控制研究严谨性（与成功结果成反比）的多变量分析中，当策略集中于自然并针对微观场所时，策略是最有效的。尽管对警察的研究有了很大的增长，但关于有效减少犯罪策略的结论仍然非常相似。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Experimental Criminology focuses on high quality experimental and quasi-experimental research in the advancement of criminological theory and/or the development of evidence based crime and justice policy. The journal is also committed to the advancement of the science of systematic reviews and experimental methods in criminology and criminal justice. The journal seeks empirical papers on experimental and quasi-experimental studies, systematic reviews on substantive criminological and criminal justice issues, and methodological papers on experimentation and systematic review. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in the broad array of scientific disciplines that are concerned with criminology as well as crime and justice problems.
