Zero Tolerance: A Case Study of Police Policies and Practices in New York City
Judith A. Greene
The police reforms introduced in New York City by William Bratton are now hailed by Mayor Rudy Giuliani as the epitome of "zero-tolerance" policing, and he credits them for winning dramatic reductions in the city's crime rate. But the number of citizen complaints filed before the Civilian Complaint Review Board has jumped skyward, as has the number of lawsuits alleging police misconduct and abuse offorce. Comparison of crime rates, arrest statistics, and citizen complaints in New York with those in San Diegowhere a more problem-oriented community policing strategy has been implementedgives strong evidence that effective crime control can be achieved while producing fewer negative impacts on urban neighborhoods.
