Abstract

Storefront stings have been a popular police tactic for over fifteen years. This article is concerned with the development of a storefront sting clientele, with a particular focus on changes in the spatial distribution of sting clients during the life of a project. Data used in the analysis are from a 1985 Birmingham, Alabama sting project. Through the use of centrographic methods the study revealed a tendency for the sting clientele to remain closely tied to the sting site. The conclusion is that the sting location decision raises equity concerns that must be considered in future sting project efforts.
