Wesley Skogan is Professor Emeritus at Northwestern University, with joint appointments in the Political Science Department and the University's Institute for Policy Research. His research focuses on community policing initiatives in Chicago and elsewhere; neighborhood and community responses to crime; and criminal victimization and the evaluation of service programs for victims. He is author or editor of seven books, including two with OUP: Police and Community in Chicago: A Tale of Three Cities (2006) and Community Policing, Chicago Style (1997). In 2015 he was awarded the 2015 Distinguished Achievement Award in Evidence-Based Crime Policy from the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy.
What was the cost of stop & search preventing an estimated 703 murders over 180 months in Chicago (4 murders per month), primarily in minority areas? Skogan's unprecedented analysis allows us to ask whether that price could be lower, avoiding both under-policing and over-policing for 'just right' targeting of the most volatile strategy police use against weapons crime. * Lawrence W. Sherman, Cambridge Centre for Evidence-Based Policing * A richly detailed report of police stop & frisk rates as a primary street policing strategy in Chicago over a decade. It is a careful and sophisticated study that can provide policy analysts with tools for assessing and improving the effectiveness and fairness of fundamental tactics of urban street policing. * Franklin E. Zimring, Simon Professor of Law, University of California (Berkeley) *
