Question 1: The SARA Model

Scanning
 Identify and define the problem. Use community
knowledge, crime data, maps, etc. to explain the situation
that must change in order to make the neighborhood safer,
cleaner, and more livable.
 Crime data should be specific to the problem at hand, either
by type or location.
Scanning example

 Location (neighborhood): OTR
 Location (specific): West End Dayton Street
Analysis
 Identify problem characteristics and underlying causes of the
situation through analysis of information and data
 Analysis seeks to explain why the problem or situation occurs
Analysis example
 OTR:

eliminate the problem, condition, or situation.
