| An Analysis of Variables Affecting the Clearance of Homicides (8187 words) |
 | Analysis of clearance rates from 1980 through 1994 shows that clearance rates in cities have remained very stable: those cities that are high in total clearance and high in homicide rates have remained consistently so throughout this period, as have cities which are high-low, low-high, and low-low. |
 | For example, the homicide clearance rate is determined by dividing the number of homicides reported in a year by the number of arrests made for those homicides. |
 | This study addresses the issue of clearance rates with the expectation that by understanding what accounts for cities having high clearance rates for homicide, we will be able to prescribe changes that other departments could use to improve their rate of homicide clearance. |
