It is well known that police recorded crime data is susceptible to substantial measurement error. However, despite its limitations, police data is widely used in regression models exploring the causes and effects of crime, which can lead to different types of bias. Here, we introduce a new R package (‘rcme’: Recounting Crime with Measurement Error) that can be used to facilitate sensitivity assessments of the impact of measurement error in analyses using police recorded crime rates across a wide range of settings. To demonstrate the potential of such sensitivity analysis, we explore the robustness of the effect of collective efficacy on criminal damage across Greater London’s neighbourhoods. We show how the crime reduction effect attributed to collective efficacy appears robust, even when most criminal damage incidents are not recorded by the police, and if we accept that under-recording rates are moderately affected by collective efficacy.
1c/ Missouri law requires police to submit crime data to the Highway Patrol and allows DPS to penalize noncompliant agencies. 👮
Despite that, DPS awarded St. Louis police two grants in June and July worth more than $110,000, even though STL was six months behind in reporting at that point. 💵

1b/ St. Louis' 8-month pause in reporting crime data, coupled with a bug in the FBI's system, caused the bureau to count St. Louis' 11 months of reported data for 2021 as if it was a full year's worth.
The FBI acknowledged the mistake after I found the bureau's annual totals were up to 15% lower than those in the Missouri Highway Patrol's portal.
