The Role of Statistics in Evaluating Community Efforts on Crime Prevention

The term crime prevention as used in this paper suggests not only that research which deals specifically with preventive procedure, but to any other that attempts to lay a foundation for future crime prevention programs, as in the studies of Shaw and Thrasher. For the purpose of this paper, the author will attempt to show by a limited survey of research undertaken in the field of crime prevention, the use made of statistical methodology and its potentialities. It is realized that among all the techniques that are available to statisticians, some are not usually incorporated in the commonplace survey found in the literature.

Preventing Crime.

Reviews the book Preventing Crime, edited by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck (New York: McGraw-Hill Company. 496 pp). Although all the crime prevention experiments that are being carried on in the United States could not be presented in one volume, twenty-four promising and representative attempts to reduce crime are individually reported. Psychologists will find little in these twenty-odd chapters that is new, but they will find much that should be provocative. Surely this symposium clearly indicates that many opportunities to render unique and highly specialized service in the field of crime prevention await the well-trained and socially-minded clinical psychologist.
