What are several measurement errors that frequently occur in crime strategy meetings?

There are several measurement errors that frequently occur in crime strategy meetings. Primary among them is the lack of linkage between measurement and strategy. This includes using aggregate UCR offense categories rather than actionable subgroups, measuring all arrests rather than only those officer initated, the inability to link arrests to specific assignments and/or units, an inability to measure field interviews and/or to link specific assignments and/or units and an inability to track the utility of intelligence information. Additional errors include a rigid adherence to format- format driving strategy rather than vice versa meaningless statistical review- too many trend statistics GIS maps that are a blur of dots and once again lack of specificity- including a standardized response to every crime problem " lets increase patrol ".
