Study says crime fear can be reduced
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — City police
departments can reduce the fear of
crime, and in some cases crime lev
els, through door-to-door contact
with residents and by opening store
front police stations, concludes a
federally financed study released
Sunday.
The two-year study of a number
of experimental projects in several
low- and middle-income neighbor
hoods of Houston and Newark, N.J.,
also found that many techniques
were ineffective in attempting to in
crease residents’ sense of personal
safety in urban areas.
Among the failed approaches
were follow-up contact by police
with crime victims, publication by
police of neighborhood newsletters
and cleanup programs aimed at re
ducing physical deterioration.
The study found that in Houston,
where the population is growing
rapidly and population density is
low, contacting residents about
crime-related problems and stimu
lating the formation of neighbor
hood organizations can reduce the
fear of crime and “even reduce the
actual level of victimization.”
In an older city such as Newark,
successful techniques included
opening a low-rent storefront police
station in the neighborhood and di
recting police to make contacts with
people in their homes, combined
with aggressive law enforcement.
According to James Stewart, di
rector of the National Institute of
Justice, “Fear of crime can be even
more debilitating to cities and de
structive to neighborhoods than the
actual incidence of crime itself.”
The successful strategies in Hous
ton and Newark “require that police
administrators and managers decide
that their officers will listen to, and
work with, law-abiding citizens in ef
forts to reduce the fear of crime that
plagues too many urban neighbor
hoods,” said Stewart.
In Houston, authorities used a
state grant to open a community
storefront police station and busi
nessmen subsequently donated
space for others.
“After years of finding that many
of the traditional approaches to po
licing didn’t seem to be as effective
as we thought, it’s pleasantly surpris
ing to find that there are simple, in
expensive techniques that work,”
said Tony Pate, a researcher at the
Police Foundation, the private non
profit group that conducted the
study.
In Newark, bus riders gave a
standing ovation to officers who be
gan conducting spot checks of city
buses, where trouble frequently had
occurred.
Several new businesses opened it
one Newark neighborhood becaust
police launched a coordinated com
munity project that featured a com
munity police center and intensified
law enforcement.

LOS ANGELES — The city’s top

According to Police Chief Daryl
Gates, Police bomb squad chief Arl-
eigh McCree and partner Ronald
Ball were killed in the North Holly
wood home of Donnell Morse.
Gates said Saturday’s blast, 15

MOVE member found guilty on charges
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA —The only
adult member of the radical
group MOVE to survive a fiery
siege by police was found guilty
Sunday of riot and conspiracy in
the confrontation that left 11
people dead and 61 homes de
stroyed.
Ramona Africa, 30, was ac

cluding aggravated and simple
assault, recklessly endangering
and resisting arrest.
tencing hearing for April 14. She
faces a maximum prison term of
17 years.
Assistant District Attorney Jo
seph McGill said he thought the
emotional tone of the case played
a role in the mixed verdict.
“The tragic and complete loss
of the defendant’s family made it
difficult to achieve a guilty verdict
on all the things sne was
charged," he said.
The charges against Afria
stemmed from the siege in May
which began when police triedto
arrest her and three other mem
bers of the armed group.
An early morning shootout
gave way to a day-long standoff
that ended when police dropped
a bomb on MOVE’S fonitied
headquarters and touched off a
fire that destroyed homes in tht
surrounding 1‘/a blocks.

LOS ANGELES — Although
crude oil prices dropped $13 a bar
rel in the past year, motorists are still
paying nearly 2 cents more per gal
lon at the gasoline pump because of
staggering dealer costs, oil industry
analyst Dan Lundberg said Sunday.
“Crude has crashed to as low as
$16 a barrel, and a year ago it was
$29, yet the overall prices for all
grades of gasoline at the pump is
higher by 1.8 cents a gallon since last
February,” Lundberg said.
Although there has been a small
decline in pump prices since Decem
ber, the public has been mistakenly
led to believe falling crude prices
were a sign that gasoline prices
would drop dramatically, Lundberg
said.

“The expectation of crashing
prices at the nation’s pumps is based
on a generally accepted fallacy that .
