Policing includes more than just law enforcement. Crime reduction is a thinking game: how can the police succeed while also saving their own time and resources? Hunter M. Boehme, an assistant professor in the Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice at the University of South Carolina, joins the podcast to discuss what I call “less formal” methods for reducing crime.
Main Topics
- Soft power is still power. Enforcing civil code violations can be used to reduce some violent crimes.
- Non-sworn policing personnel, or even city employees, can provide a light footprint to improve an area.
- While property crime was reduced at a statistically significant level, other violent crimes still declined.
- “Better” does not have to be statistically significant, it just has to be better.
