Tóm tắt

Chúng tôi sử dụng dữ liệu từ Tỉnh Quebec để nghiên cứu cách mà các đặc điểm của một tội phạm và bối cảnh cộng đồng nơi nó xảy ra ảnh hưởng đến khả năng được giải quyết bởi cảnh sát. Dựa trên mẫu gồm 362.295 vụ tội phạm tập trung ở 93 cộng đồng, các phân tích đa cấp cho thấy rằng cảnh sát có nhiều khả năng giải quyết các vụ án ở những cộng đồng nhỏ hơn so với các khu vực đô thị lớn và ở những cộng đồng có mức độ nghèo đói cao hơn. Khối lượng công việc không phải là yếu tố quan trọng, chỉ có tác động nhẹ đến việc giải quyết các hành vi vi phạm. Sự thật rằng những người phạm tội có khả năng trốn luật pháp cao hơn nhiều ở một số cộng đồng so với những cộng đồng khác có thể có những tác động quan trọng đối với việc phòng ngừa. Hai phương pháp để cải thiện việc đánh giá các phòng cảnh sát dựa trên khả năng giải quyết tội phạm cũng được đề xuất.
