Talk:CompStat

message: - newbie to wikipedia, reviewing compstat page, trying to figure out if "compstat" is a process of doing anlysis, or of it is an integrated software package. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.39.224.74 (talk • contribs) 
:It's an analysis process that originated in the NYPD  and has since been adopted by many other law enforcement agencies.  The Philadelphia Police Department describes what they do - http://www.ppdonline.org/hq_compstat.php   Also, here's what the LAPD does - http://www.lapdonline.org/crime_maps_and_compstat/content_basic_view/6363 --Aude (talk) 17:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: I am a professional editor of several law enforcement magazines and I find this article full of police jargon and doublespeak ("operationalized"?). In my line of work, I see many examples of police writing, most of which are created by officers eager to make their program sound as official as possible; as a result, we see lots of extra words and overuse of the passive tense.This article is a prime example of that type of writing which obfuscates at best.
Also, it is clear to me that it was written by someone with an agenda regarding CompStat. I STRONGLY recommend that this article be tagged for bias and that it be rewritten to be more readable for the general public. Otherwise, it is simply unreliable as a source of information.64.65.173.128 16:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jargon 

message: The editing of this page has made it really hard to read and is distracting. Bratton is basically responsible for COMPSTAT which is always used interchangeably with Compstat and depends on how it is being written. COMPSTAT is generally used as a coverpage or for statistics, but when writing about the program it is Compstat. The NYPD is linked to it because of Bratton and follows Bratton to the LAPD. This is very similar to Bratton moving police to semi-automatic weapons, and more specifically, the Glock. The basic purpose of the "system" is to attempt to identify trends in crime and be able to statistically address crime with a response. The article no longer conveys this information in my opinion. The academic and statistics provided by departments show that this basically works at management level. The links confirm this information. I don't see why statistical tracking of crimes and applying more police to a specific area at a specific time of day is a cause for dispute or whether or not it is disputed. The opposing articles are from 2003 and ONLY address the NYPD when all the departments listed are able to show statistics from different cities during the disputed year. Specifically LAPD COMPSTAT Plus. While I think the opposing views may be important, I do not think they should bias the whole article the way they are. COMPSTAT started in NY and is used all over the country. It should be re-written to incorporate that country-wide scope and not just focus on the NYPD specifically as a pro and con piece

thread_title: COMPSTAT compstat etc

message: NYPD has adapted the system to prioritize traffic enforcement, based on crash and ticket statistics. An interesting feature is NYCDOT representatives attend the TrafficSTAT meetings, for a more comprehensive approach to road safety problems. Unfortunately, that's about all I know about the program.--72.0.130.202 (talk) 13:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: TrafficSTAT

message: Refusing to take police reports for major felonies, and then reclassifying other crimes by lowering the charges, is not crime fighthing. Enron did the same thing with their accounting sheets. If you think that crime is realy down, trying going for a walk in most of the neigborhoods in NYC after dark!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saltheshoe (talk • contribs) 01:36, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Compstat is B.S. 

message: I could find no mention of Compstat in the article Understanding Why Crime Fell in the 1990s: Four Factors that Explain the Decline and Six that Do Not.  If someone doesn't have another source for the purported critique from Steven Levitt, I suggest it be removed from the article.--Jacob J. Walker (talk) 18:46, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:   Steven Levitt 

message: This article claims the abbreviation stands for Complaint Statistics.
The Jack Maple article tells us it's Computer Analysis for Computer Statistics.
And the fictional use of the principle in the tv series "the District" is always called Comparative statistics.
Now which one is right? Shouldn't all these theories/uses be mentioned in this article and could it be that the use of the abbreviation is so widespread because then nobody must decide WHAT it exactly is meant to say?
Also i'm curious why "the Wire" is mentioned, but the above mentioned series "the District" whose central point the introduction of Compstat is and which is loosely based on the experiences of Jack Maple who invented the program does not get an honorary mention?--176.199.186.241 (talk) 00:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
