Case
Study
1. What management, organization, and technology factors make CompStat effective?
CompStat
is effective in management do to the fact that it holds the
commanders of the local precincts accountable for their areas. It
helps to organize the resources of the precinct in order to benefit
the community in reducing the crime rate. The technology that make it
effective is that is compiles and analyzes data city-wide and
produces reports that report on crime complaints and arrest activity
at all levels within the city. It can be summarized by week, prior 30
days, and year to date to compare with previous years in order to
establish any trends.
2. Can police departments effectively combat crime without the CompStat system? Is community policing incompatible with CompStat? Explain your answer.
Can
police departments effectively combat crime without the CompStat
system? CompStat or any other information system if this type, if
used effectively, can be used to combat crime. It provides valuable
information quickly that would otherwise take some time to analyze in
order to be the most effective in a given area. Is community policing
incompatible with CompStat? Why would it be incompatible? With
CompStat data, law enforcement is able to locate “hot spots”,
identify patterns and trends in crime, and be able to send more
resources to the trouble areas and issue public warnings.
3. Why would officers misreport certain data to CompStat? What should be done about the misreporting of data? How can it be detected?
Why
would officers misreport certain data to CompStat? Why not. If it
would make me look good, get a promotion and a raise to manipulate
data then why not. Sometimes pressure from supervisor’s and the
public would temp some to misreport certain data. What should be done
about misreporting of data? By holding the leadership accountable and
not making CompStat a “whack-a-mole: type of policing and awarding
prizes for misreporting data. How can it be detected? Some of the
ways to detect misreporting is by doing a survey analysis or
implementing virtual audit teams.
