Results:
Data from three countries show that overall motor vehicle theft rates either reduced or stabilized after anti-theft device legislation and agreements became effective, and that this effect was sustained over long periods. British data suggest that these locks have had most effect on the more casual takings of motor vehicles for temporary use.
