Citizens' attitudes toward the police were also\r\n examined. Baseline data were collected to determine residents'\r\n perceptions of crime, victimization experiences, crime-avoidance\r\n behavior, and level of satisfaction with the quality of life in their\r\n neighborhoods (Parts 1 and 3). Follow-up surveys were conducted to\r\n evaluate the effectiveness of experimental police programs designed to\r\n reduce the fear of crime within the communities. These results are\r\n presented in Parts 2 and 4. In Part 5, questions similar to those in\r\n the baseline survey were posed to two groups of victims who reported\r\n crimes to the police. One group had received a follow-up call to\r\n provide the victim with information, assistance, and reassurance that\r\n someone cared, and the other was a control group of victims that had\r\n not received a follow-up call. Part 6 contains data from a newsletter\r\n experiment conducted by the police departments after the baseline data\r\n were gathered, in one area each of Houston and Newark. Two versions of\r\n an anti-crime newsletter were mailed to respondents to the baseline\r\n survey and also to nonrespondents living in the area. These groups\r\n were then interviewed, along with control groups of baseline\r\n respondents and nonrespondents who might have seen the newsletter but\r\n were not selected for the mailing. Demographic data collected include\r\nage, sex, race, education and employment.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR08496.v2", "title": "Reducing Fear of Crime:  Program Evaluation Surveys in Newark and Houston, 1983-1984"}], "identifier": "3746", "issued": "1986-08-18T00:00:00", "keyword": ["New Jersey-Newark", "Texas-Houston", "United States", "crime prevention", "police activity", "quality of life", "victimization"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "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": "Reducing Fear of Crime:  Program Evaluation Surveys in Newark and Houston, 1983-1984"}
