Results:
The prevalence of crime decreased by 26% in the experimental area and by 21% in the adjacent area, but increased by 12% in the control area. The incidence of crime decreased by 43% in the experimental area and by 45% in the adjacent area, but decreased by only 2% in the control area. Police-recorded crimes in the whole police area also decreased by only 2%. It is concluded that the improved street lighting caused a substantial decrease in crime in the experimental area, and that there was a diffusion of these benefits to the adjacent area. Cost effective.

Results:
Where a high level of citizen participation occurred in a neighbourhood watch program significant reductions were likely to be achieved in reported residential burglaries. These positive results were mixed with other less encouraging findings, including a possible displacement of crime to offences other than residential burglaries, or to other areas not covered by neighbourhood watch.
