Impact of Community Oriented Traffic Policing on Red Light Violations

Öz


Community oriented policing is a philosophy that underlines the requirement of citizens' involvement in crime prevention activities. One of the major traffic crime was red light running in Karakopru town of Sanliurfa Province of Turkey. Because of the inadequate enforcement resources, however, police department couldn’t succeed to prevent red light violations. The police department, hence, initiated a community red light watch program to decrease the violations. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of the community red light watch program, which was performed by the honorary traffic inspectors. To assess the effect of this program, we employed a pre/post-implementation design. For the current study, the camera records of the five program sites, two non-program sites, and two control sites were utilized. Findings of this study revealed that red light violations did not decrease at the beginning period; however, six months after the program commenced the violations decrease overall 27% at program sites. Friedman test analyze results suggested a Chi-square value of 7,600 which was significant (p<.05) for the program sites. The program did not yield a significant violation change for non-program and control sites. The results suggest that community-oriented policing programs can be implemented in traffic enforcement area successfully. However, to prevent traffic violations the programs need to be supported with tactics of deterrence theory, and other policing strategies.
