Negative Aspects of NYPD COMPSTAT

Introduction

NYPD COMPSTAT is the acronym that identifies a novel crime control method developed by the New York Police Department (NYPD) in 1994, with significantly positive results. The organizational program uses computer mapping to track and highlight previously unseen crime trends. The maps serve as focal points for police precinct commanders who, together with their units, develop anti-crime strategies tailored to community needs.

Apart from the positive sides of the NYPD COMPSTAT, there are still some cons such as discourage reporting police officers, reducing reported crime, which indicates the false resolution of community problems.
