Policing the Process: A Relational Network DEA Approach to Law Enforcement Efficiency

Abstract: We employed a network Data Envelopment Analysis model to examine the effects of increased response times on police efficiency for a select sample of police agencies in the US. Our results showed that those agencies who experienced higher response times had overall lower efficiency. Keywords: Efficiency, Network Data Envelopment Analysis, Performance, Police JEL Classification Number: H71, H83, D24
