Dr. Sharon Chamard and
Dr. Troy Payne, Justice Center faculty, presented
"A Tale of Two Cities' Attempts to Lower Calls for Service via Civil Remedies" at the
Environmental Criminology and Crime Analysis (ECCA) conference in the Netherlands in June. The research compared the count of police incidents before and after a notice of excessive police incidents at properties in Anchorage and Green Bay, Wisconsin.
ECCA is an annual, invitation-only symposium attended by an
international group of researchers and practitioners engaged in
situational crime prevention, crime science, intelligence-led policing, and
problem-oriented policing.
In 2008, the Justice Center hosted the
17th annual ECCA Symposium on the UAA campus.
