Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Understanding the degree of geographical crime displacement
is crucial for the design of crime prevention policies. This paper
documents changes in automobile theft risk that were generated by
the plausibly exogenous introduction of Lojack, a highly effective
stolen vehicle recovery device, into a number of new Ford car models
in some Mexican states, but not others. Lojack-equipped vehicles in
Lojack-coverage states experienced a 48 percent reduction in theft
risk due to deterrence effects. However, 18 percent of the reduction in
thefts was displaced toward unprotected Lojack models in non-Lojack
states, providing new evidence of geographical crime displacement
in auto theft.
