variation in the proportion of burglaries that were committed during the evening (mean = 0.20,SD=0.07, N=52) before the start of the pilot, and that over time the overall trend was ever so slightlyupwards. Following the start of the pilot, and particularly from September onwards, the proportion ofburglaries committed during the evening dropped (mean = .11, SD=0.04, N=7); the monthly variationobserved also decreased. Thus, it would appear that following the start of the pilot the proportion ofburglaries committed during the evening decreased.Figure 6.2: Changes in the proportion of burglaries committed during the evening over time (forevents for which the interval between the earliest and latest reporting times was less than 8 hours)0.400.35BeforeDuringLinear (Before)Proportion of all burglaries0.300.250.200.150.100.050.00MonthApr-03Dec-02Aug-02Apr-02Dec-01Aug-01Apr-01Dec-05Aug-05Apr-05Dec-04Aug-04Apr-04Dec-03Aug-03Further analyses explored the change in the patterns for the other two shifts. Naturally, changeswould be expected in at least one of these as the unit of analysis was a proportional measure.Figures 6.3 and 6.4 show the changes observed during the morning and daytime, respectively. Therewas little change in the mean proportion of events committed during the morning before (Mean=0.39,SD=0.09, N=52) and during the pilot phase (Mean=0.36, SD=0.09, N=7).63
