Abstract:

The origins and results of the Albuquerque Police Department;s "Safe Streets" program are discussed. Influenced by the "broken windows" theory espoused by criminologist George Kelling and spurred to action over public outcry over several cases of fatal road rage, the police department set up an intense experimental program to bring civility back to the streets. Identifying four areas as both high crime and high crash areas, the police saturated each area for a month, stopping motorists for all traffic violations and issuing tickets for each. These intense patrols were then repeated for short periods of times at frequent intervals. The program was further strengthen by a crack down on speeding in coordination with the state police, a anti-DWI campaign and establishment of a citizens' complaint line. The results of the Safe Streets program strongly suggests that a special traffic enforcement program can deter criminal activity, improve traffic safety, and contribute substantial economic savings to society.
