Performance measurement of police forces at the local level: A non-parametric mathematical programming approach

作者：

Highlights：

• A linear programming has been applied to access efficiency of police force.

• We provide additional insights into the efficiency of police work at the level of police stations.

• Most of the observed PSs are technically inefficient.

• External factors do affect police stations’ relative efficiency.

• Findings can serve as a guide for police management to enhance the performance.
