The Hartford Project was an experiment\r\nin how to reduce residential burglary and street robbery/purse snatching\r\nand the fear of those crimes. Funded through the Hartford Institute of\r\nCriminal and Social Justice, the project began in 1973. It was based\r\non a new \"environmental\" approach to crime prevention: a comprehensive\r\nand integrative view addressing not only the relationship among\r\ncitizens, police, and offenders, but also the effect of the physical\r\nenvironment on their attitudes and behavior. The surveys were\r\nadministered by the Center for Survey Research at the University of\r\nMassachusetts at Boston. The Center collected Hartford resident survey\r\ndata in five different years: 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1979. The\r\n1973 survey provided basic data for problem analysis and\r\nplanning. These data were updated twice: in 1975 to gather baseline\r\ndata for the time of program implementation, and in the spring of 1976\r\nwith a survey of households in one targeted neighborhood of Hartford\r\nto provide data for the time of implementation of physical changes\r\nthere. Program evaluation surveys were carried out in the spring of\r\n1977 and two years later in 1979. The procedures for each survey were\r\nessentially identical each year in order to ensure comparability\r\nacross time. The one exception was the 1976 sample, which was not\r\nindependent of the one taken in 1975. In each survey except 1979,\r\nrespondents reported on experiences during the preceding 12-month\r\nperiod. In 1979 the time reference was the past two years. The survey\r\nquestions were very similar from year to year, with 1973 being the most\r\nunique. All surveys focused on victimization, fear, and perceived risk\r\nof being victims of the target crimes. Other questions explored\r\nperceptions of and attitudes toward police, neighborhood problems, and\r\nneighbors. The surveys also included questions on household and\r\nrespondent characteristics.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR07682.v1", "title": "Residential Neighborhood Crime Control Project: Hartford, Connecticut, 1973, 1975-1977, 1979"}], "identifier": "3375", "issued": "1984-03-18T00:00:00", "keyword": ["burglary", "citizen attitudes", "communities", "crime", "crime control programs", "crime prevention", "fear of crime", "law enforcement", "neighborhood conditions", "neighborhoods", "police citizen interactions", "police community relations", "police performance", "reactions to cr"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "1992-02-16T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Residential Neighborhood Crime Control Project: Hartford, Connecticut, 1973, 1975-1977, 1979"}
