The rate of thefts from cars at night was halved on roads with PNL, compared to the same roads before PNL was introduced. Car break-ins decreased from an average of 12 per street, per month, to six per street, per month.
This coincided with a 1.5x increase in vehicle crime on nearby roads where the lighting remained on all night, suggesting some criminals are deciding to move to better-lit streets nearby.
For the paper, published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology, the team, led by UCL and the LSHTM as part of the LANTERNS project, examined detailed police recorded crime data from Thames Valley Police and data on changes to street lighting in Oxfordshire and west Berkshire from April 2004 to September 2013.
