Geography Crime Displacement OTR Aggressive Policing Operation Vortex CPD Diffusion of Benefits The intrinsic value, or outcome, of aggressive policing units and their overall effect on crime itself is a highly contentious topic, not only within the community, but also within criminology theories and policing policy debates. Whether these zero tolerance patrol units, through their high number of arrests for minor offenses, actually combat crime and bring with them a diffusion of benefits, or if these units merely displace crime into areas outside the intended target area, is an issue in which no scholarly consensus has yet to be reached. Increasing evidence suggests that the diffusion of benefits is not likely to occur (Barr and Pease 1990, Bowers and Johnson 2003, Brantingham and Brantingham 2003, Eck 1993, Hessling 1994); however, a study in 2009 suggests that evidence of a diffusion of benefits has been found in Cincinnati, Ohio (Hall and Liu 2009). This research examines the occurrence of robberies in the City of Cincinnati from 2006-2009 and assesses the impact of an aggressive policing policy known as “Operation Vortex.” 2012-09-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1337886226 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1337886226 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
