Statistical Application Exercise #14 During a command staff meeting a presentation is being made regarding a study recently completed by a consultant on crime suppression strategies. This study was commissioned by the Mayor who is under political pressure to reduce the crime rate in your community. The study involved comparing four separate enforcement strategies (A, B, C, & D) to see which reduced crime in the city. A multiple regression statistical model was used. The consultant presented the following table that includes the beta coefficients indicating the effect of each enforcement strategy on crime suppression. During the meeting the Captain sitting next to you turns to you and whispers, "I can't make heads or tails of this statistics stuff. Which enforcement strategy appears to have the most effect on reducing crime?" Respond to the Captain's question and explain your decision. Assume each of the following beta coefficients are statistically significant. Enforcement Strategy A 534 Enforcement Strategy B -.345 Enforcement Strategy C 893 Enforcement Strategy D .602
