<br />Financial savings <br /> <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />in one year. The most problematic issue is how far the results obtained in these two <br />areas can be generalised elsewhere. The present research shows dramatic effects in <br />two case studies which mayor may not be typical. Further research is needed to <br />investigate the functional relationship between improved street lighting and decreased <br />crime in different settings. In conclusion, improving street lighting is relatively cheap and <br />crime is relatively costly. The main result from the research is that improved street <br />lighting can reduce crime and that the financial implications enormously outweigh the <br />financial costs. <br /> <br />This article contains large extracts taken from the actual research paper by Dr. Kate <br />Painter and Professor David Farrington, Institute of Criminology, University of <br />Cambridge, 'The cost benefits of improved street lighting, based on crime reduction', it <br />appears in 'Lighting Research & Technology Vol 33, Issue 1 (2001) published by: <br />Amold.
