The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of the police service in Spanish municipalities with a population of more than 50,000 inhabitants. Using Data Envelopment Analysis, we obtain the efficiency levels and the targets that the input and outputs have to reach to be efficient in the provision of the police service. Next, and based on the literature, the effect of the following environmental variables is verified: young population, number of foreigners, unemployment, municipal per capita income, tourist level of the municipality, and ideology and political strength of the municipal government. Findings show that an increase in the number of young people in the municipality means an improved efficiency in the local police service. In contrast, cultural diversity (measured by the percentage of foreigners in the total population), unemployment, the mayor's ideology and political fragmentation of government do not have a significant effect on the level of efficiency. On the other hand, higher municipal per capita income means less efficiency, while an increase in tourism activity is related to the improvement of this.

市政警察服务效率的衡量和决定因素

本文的目的是分析人口超过 50,000 的西班牙城市的警察服务效率。使用数据包络分析,我们获得了效率水平和输入和输出必须达到的目标,才能有效地提供警务服务。接下来,基于文献,验证了以下环境变量的影响:年轻人口、外国人数量、失业率、市政府人均收入、市政府的旅游水平、市政府的意识形态和政治实力。调查结果表明,该市青年人数的增加意味着当地警察服务效率的提高。相比之下,文化多样性(以外国人在总人口中的百分比衡量),失业、市长的意识形态和政府的政治分裂对效率水平没有显着影响。另一方面,较高的市政人均收入意味着较低的效率,而旅游活动的增加则与此有关。
