Abstract: Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs) integrate a variety of technologies and information with the goal of helping police to more efficiently identify and respond to crime. A growing number of law enforcement agencies have implemented RTCCs in recent years, but few studies have evaluated their impact on crime control or investigative outcomes. This study uses a quasi-experimental design to examine whether RTCCs improve rates of case clearance for violent, property, and overall crime in Chicago, IL.
