Efficiency Analysis Using DEA Policing Practices and Perceptions Law, Economics, and Judicial Systems

Abstract

This study uses both parametric and nonparametric techniques to analyse scale economies and relative efficiency levels in policing in England and Wales. Both techniques suggest the presence of significant scale effects in policing and considerable divergence in relative efficiency levels across police forces.
