为了解决加州州加登格罗夫一个由拉丁裔和越南移民居住的大型高犯罪率公寓楼中持续存在的犯罪问题，当地警察局开设了一个店面办公室。这项研究的目的是研究这种社区警务工作的影响，在减少对犯罪的恐惧和改善对警察的态度复杂的居民。在开设店面办公室之前和项目结束时，对居民进行了问卷调查。尽管存在组间差异，但结果显示，干预对两组都产生了积极影响。总体而言，拉丁美洲人报告说，干预后对犯罪的恐惧减少，对警察的看法也有所改善。越南人比拉丁美洲人更害怕犯罪（前和后），但干预后对犯罪的恐惧减少。然而，他们对警察的态度在前测中非常积极，在后测中没有改善。
To address a persistent crime problem in a large, high crime apartment complex occupied by Latino and Vietnamese immigrants in Garden Grove, California, the local police department opened a storefront office. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact this community policing effort had on the residents of the complex in terms of reducing fear of crime and improving attitudes towards the police. A questionnaire was administered to the residents before opening the storefront office and at the conclusion of the project. Despite group differences, the results revealed that the intervention had a positive impact on both groups. Overall, Latinos reported less fear of crime after the intervention and improved perception of the police. The Vietnamese reported more fear of crime than Latinos (pre and post) but less fear of crime after the intervention. However, their attitudes towards the police, which were very positive on the pretest, did not improve on the post‐test.
