Traditionally, police agencies have allocated resources in response
to their operational demands or requirements, with the majority of
resources being distributed in response to political demands and to
public calls for service. This study examines this issue through
the presentation of two quantitative econometric methods,
simultaneous linear regression and multivariate analysis based on
New Zealand social data. Three econometric models are applied to
the fifty New Zealand Police Areas for the period 1997 to 2002. The
results from the application of the three models are compared with
the actual number of police officers, level of crime and resolution
rate over this period. The difference between the actual figures
and those suggested by the models is the basis for investigating
Police Area effectiveness. The relationships between the three
models, the socio-variables and the Police Areas are explored and
analysed further by using five multivariate analysis methods to
investigate service delivery effectiveness.
