Answers should describe the format of the Kansas City experiment on patrol,including three levels of patrol examined (normal patrol,increased patrol,and no patrol),and review the results of the study,including the lack of impact of patrol level on rates of occurrence of crime or on citizen fear of crime.This study has been credited with beginning the now-established tradition of scientific studies of policing.Answers should also discuss the Kansas City study on response time and explain the results,including the lack of effect of fast police response on citizen satisfaction or suspect arrest.These studies led to the view that almost anything the police could do would be better than random patrol.Answers should also include some discussion of new patrol strategies,such as various kinds of directed patrol,and methods of prioritizing calls for service,which were developed as a result of the Kansas City studies.
