When victims contact the police, they expect immediate results. How do police know how to handle victims, possibly the most important yet neglected component of the criminal justice system? Policing and Victims is the first book that specifically shows police how to help victims of crime. In Policing and Victims, Dr. Laura J. Moriarty and co-authors show that when police know how to work successfully with victims, everyone benefits: cases are more likely to be solved, victims are more satisfied with the police, and police departments gain respect within their communities. Policing and Victims, a book long overdue, will help police officers understand victimology in a policing context, will help them understand how to deal with specific victim situations such as rape and domestic violence, and will give them additional resources that are crucial to victim recovery. This text will help strengthen the communication between police and crime victims, and can help the reader become a better police officer.

Findings and recommendations are presented from a study that examined factors affecting citizens' delays in reporting crime and their impact on the relevance of police response time to suspect apprehension. This study was a replication of a portion of the Kansas City Police Department's study entitled 'Response Time Analysis.' This study focused on citizen delays in reporting crimes to police in Jacksonville, Florida.; Peoria, Illinois; Rochester, New York; and San Diego, California. The study is based on interviews with over 4,000 victims, witnesses, and bystanders in some 3,300 serious crimes (aggravated assault, auto theft, burglary, larceny, rape, and robbery). Findings confirm the conclusion of the Kansas City study that citizen-reporting time, and not police response time, most affects the possibility of on-scene arrest and that when citizens delay in reporting crimes, efforts to reduce police response times have no substantial effect on arrest rates. Citizen delay time is relevant to apprehension only when the citizen is involved as the crime is being committed. In such cases, speedy reporting to the police combined with fast police response time increases the likelihood of apprehending the offender at or near the crime scene. Causes for citizen delay in reporting crimes include ambiguity about whether or not a crime is actually being committed, first priority given to coping with problems the crime has created, conflict about whether or not to call the police, no phone readily available, did not know the police telephone number, and trouble communicating with a person taking the call. Approaches that can reduce the influence of these factors in delaying crime reporting to police are discussed.

This edited collection illuminates the weaknesses and strengths of crime reporting across a wide range of countries, with a focus on democratic countries in which the police bear some accountability to citizens. In one compendium, for the first time, this book documents how different countries record (or fail to record) crimes. With chapters written by native authors who are experts on the practices of their respective countries, the book explores practices in 15 different countries across the globe. Organized with a parallel, country-by-country approach, the book describes and analyzes methods police use to record crimes, with the awareness that the counting of crimes is not only an issue of empirical measurement, but also one of social construction. Crime reporting practices vary widely by country. In some cases, reports are not taken, and in others, reports are carefully based on preliminary investigations. Willful manipulation of crime reports can and does occur, and the book explores related factors such as political pressure, personal ambition, community safety, and more. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter help the reader evaluate the significant issues influencing each country. The editors conclude by suggesting best practices for crime reporting and the collection of crime data. A unique addition to this book is a foreword by Tofiq Murshudlu, the Head of Drugs and Crime for the United Nations in Vienna. The book is intended for a wide range of audiences, including policing scholars, law enforcement and community leaders, and students of criminal justice.
