implementation was a good method to reduce neighborhood fear and prevent crimes (Broken Windows). The third idea was implemented by Commissioner William Bratton. The Compstat program started by a management team in New York in which commissioner William Bratton was appointed as head of the police department to incorporate the Compstat model. The model was a basic process on how to collect abstract information and analyze data. He invested in his staff to devolve both resources and decision-making

technology that has been used is COMPSTAT formerly known as Computer Statistics. COMPSTAT has been around to implement strategies in law enforcement on stopping crime before it starts. COMPSTAT builds onto the UCR (Uniform Crime Report) to analyze which crime is being mostly committed‚ the county (or city)‚ which age group and ethnicity is committing those crimes. COMPSTAT relies on human recognition patterns based on past crimes (Goode‚ 2011). In 1994‚ COMPSTAT was developed within the New York

first have to look at exactly what information technology is available to police today. One popular technology that is used by police departments is COMPSTAT abbreviated for computer statistics. Compstat is a "strategic control system" designed for the collection and feedback of information on crime and related quality of life issues. The COMPSTAT process can be summarized in one simple statement: "Collect‚ analyze‚ and map crime data and other essential police performance
