Major Study Finds Lighting Cut Crime by 39%
"In partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, the New
York City Police Department and the New York City Housing Authority, the
scientific research team Crime Lab designed a six-month randomised
controlled trial involving nearly 80 public housing developments, all of
which had elevated levels of crime. About half of the developments
received new, temporary street lights, and half did not.
The study found that the developments that received the new lights
experienced crime rates that were significantly lower than would have
been the case without the new lights."
