Residential Security: Containment and Displacement of Burglary
Abstract
Abstract: From police statistics and a two‐stage tenant survey the improvement of residential security for an entire difficult to let estate was investigated for its effect upon the high burglary rate and for the displacement of burglary to two adjacent neighbourhoods or to other property crimes on the estate. In contrast with a control estate, where burglary rose, burglary steadied for approximately a year. Attempted burglary declined. Displacement effects were largely confined to the estate. Overall crime was probably reduced.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
