Extract

At the very least, Wilson and Boland and we agree on the complexity of the relationship between governmental actions and social effects. Thus we believe as they do that it is not an easy task to disentangle the effects of policing on crime. We do differ on analytic strategy. We believe that time-series analyses tell us more than cross-sectional analyses do about causal patterns.
