These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed. This data collection represents an experimental micro-level geospatial crime prevention strategy that attempted to interrupt the near repeat (NR) pattern in residential burglary by creating a NR space-time high risk zone around residential burglaries as they occurred and then using uniformed volunteers to notify residents of their increased risk and provide burglary prevention tips. The research used a randomized controlled trial to test whether high risk zones that received the notification had fewer subsequent burglaries than those that did not. In addition, two surveys were administered to gauge the impact of the program, one of residents of the treatment areas and one of treatment providers. The collection contains 6 Stata datasets: BCo_FinalData_20180118_Archiving.dta(n = 484, 8 variables)Red_FinalData_20180117_Archiving.dta (n = 268, 8 variables)BCo_FinalDatasetOtherCrime_ForArchiving_v2.dta(n = 484, 8 variables)Redlands_FinalDataSecondary_ForArchiving_v2.dta (n = 266, 8 variables)ResidentSurvey_AllResponses_V1.4_ArchiveCleaned.dta (n = 457, 42 variables)VolunteerSurvey_V1.2_ArchiveCleaned.dta (n = 38, 16 variables) The collection also includes 5 sets of geographic information system (GIS) data: BaltimoreCounty_Bnd.zipBC_NR_HRZs.zipBurglaryAreaMinus800_NoApts.zipRedlands_CityBnd.zipRedlandsNR_HRZs.shp.zip
