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.
Abstract
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. (Author abstract)
