Police Beat Patrol Research Study

Additional Information

The influential Home Office policing policy research finding that “…a patrolling policeman in London could expect to pass within 100 yards of a burglary in progress, roughly once every eight years but not necessarily catch the burglar or even realise that the crime was taking place” is a braced super myth. http://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/social_sciences/sociology/the-problem-of-zombie-cops-in-voodoo-criminology-a-27-year-old-myth-about-beat-patrol-policing-is-busted

In light of this revelation of erroneous policy making based on a scandalous 27 year old disingenuously created myth I want the government to fund an independent study into the effectiveness of traditional non-directed foot patrol policing in high crime areas.
