Rockridge Data ... well ... Rocks!

Courtesy of the Rockridge & Temescal Organizers. 

Our neighbors in Rockridge implemented security patrols November 4 of last year for a 4-month trial period, and will be seeking to continue patrols after the trial period. The Rockridge patrol organizers have released a report produced by Ph.D. economist Paul Liu. Dr. Liu analyzed crime trends using data from the “official” crime data site for Oakland, CrimeMapping.com, and found that crime in Lower Rockridge is down by 46% relative to what it would have been absent the patrols, 45% after accounting for possible displacement.
