Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper describes the scale and composition of emergency demand for police services in Detroit, United States. The contribution is made in replication and extension of analyses reported elsewhere in the United States. Findings indicate that police spend a considerable proportion of time performing a social service function. Just 51% of the total deployed time responding to 911 calls is consumed by crime incidents. The remainder is spent on quality of life (16%), traffic (15%), health (7%), community (5%), and proactive (4%) duties. A small number of incidents consume a disproportionately large amount of police officer time. Emergency demand is concentrated in time and space, and can differ between types of demand. The findings further highlight the potential implications of radically reforming police forces in the United States. The data and code used here are openly available for reproduction, reuse, and scrutiny.

描述警察服务呼叫的规模和组成:使用开放数据的复制和扩展

摘要:本文描述了美国底特律警察服务应急需求的规模和构成。其贡献在于复制和扩展美国其他地方报告的分析。调查结果表明，警察花费相当大比例的时间履行社会服务职能。在响应911呼叫的总部署时间中，只有51%用于处理犯罪事件。其余部分用于生活质量(16%)、交通(15%)、健康(7%)、社区(5%)和主动(4%)职责。少数事件消耗了警察不成比例的大量时间。紧急需求集中在时间和空间上，不同类型的需求可能不同。研究结果进一步强调了彻底改革美国警察部队的潜在影响。这里使用的数据和代码是公开的，可以复制、重用和审查。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
