English and Welsh Police Force Efficiency: Demonstration Project Peer Review Results
preprint
posted on 2005-08-18, 09:26 authored by Leigh M. Drake, Richard SimperThe recent report by the Public Service Productivity Panel (PSPP) (2000), proposed
that non-parametric (DEA) and parametric (SFA) modelling techniques be utilised as
an aid to allow efficiency bandings of police forces. To determine whether these
techniques could be utilised, a data set approved by the Home Office Steering
Committee was compiled, and a report commissioned to present the results of the
Demonstration Project (DP). This paper presents abridged results from a Peer Review
report on the DP showing that the given data set could indeed produce efficiency
bandings and hence facilitate future discussions concerning differential payments of
funds to English and Welsh police forces. Due to the sensitivity of the results, the
police force names have been changed.
