There is extensive research and literature covering methods and approaches to crime control and crime prevention. One form of research focuses on evaluating citizens' satisfaction with various crime control and prevention approaches. In addition, this line of inquiry conducts various forms of cost-benefit analyses on these crime prevention programs or initiatives, to see if these approaches help alleviate crime, deter opportunities for offenders, or facilitate change in societal components that necessitate the commission of crime in certain neighborhoods. These approaches range from policing tactics and government sanctions, to community organizations or initiatives aimed at promoting cohesiveness and reducing economic or resource disparities in various neighborhood, and include the incorporation of individual and neighborhood methods to prevention crime and securing their homes and streets.

520 $a There is extensive research and literature covering methods and approaches to crime control and crime prevention. One form of research focuses on evaluating citizens' satisfaction with various crime control and prevention approaches. In addition, this line of inquiry conducts various forms of cost-benefit analyses on these crime prevention programs or initiatives, to see if these approaches help alleviate crime, deter opportunities for offenders, or facilitate change in societal components that necessitate the commission of crime in certain neighborhoods. These approaches range from policing tactics and government sanctions, to community organizations or initiatives aimed at promoting cohesiveness and reducing economic or resource disparities in various neighborhood, and include the incorporation of individual and neighborhood methods to prevention crime and securing their homes and streets.
520 $a Currently, a gap in the literature exist in the examination and incorporation of individual's perception of the effectiveness of the various institutions. Using conditional or fixed effects logistic regression, on the random sample portion of the Seattle Neighborhoods and Crime Survey project, analysis of the full models suggests that the components of collective efficacy are associated with perceptions of high efficacy in terms of solving major problems in the respondent's neighborhood. There is a total of 1572 respondents in this study.
520 $a Future research into this area of inquiry should focus on perceptions of low/no efficacy in these institutions in terms of solving major problems. Also, this future research should focus on giving various scenarios to the respondents. This approach will provide the researcher, respondents, and academics with a clearer understanding of what constitutes a major problem and the responses can be more thoroughly examined. In terms of crime prevention, examples of problems should consist of property, violent, or street crimes. In addition, this research can expand to other phenomena such as economic disparities or governing of public lands for common use.
