Crime Trends and Police Expenditures

An Investigation of the Lag Structure

James Alan Fox

Northeastern University

All previous investigations into the effect of crime trends on appropriations for police protection have employed either inappropriate cross-sectional data or unrealistic singular lag structures. The model developed here involves a more reasonable lag structure and is estimated with time series data. The expenditure for police appears as a function of the crime rate with a lag structure that begins at two years, that contains geometrically declin ing coefficients, and that has a mean lag of 3.9 years.
