Security at U.S. airports has been a key priority since September 11, 2001. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was established shortly thereafter to oversee aviation security operations. However, there have been few rigorous evaluations of airport security strategies, and even less is known about how they are implemented in practice. As part of a larger study that used a “translational criminology” approach to map TSA’s “Playbook” security strategy onto effective policing and crime prevention practices, we conducted a first-of-its-kind survey of TSA personnel at U.S. airports to understand how the Playbook was implemented in practice. We found that while the Playbook was well implemented, adherence to its core components—targeted, focused prevention strategies and multi-agency collaboration—was varied. We conclude with research-informed recommendations for future program development.

“转化犯罪学”在行动：对美国机场 TSA 手册实施情况的全国调查

自 2001 年 9 月 11 日以来，美国机场的安全一直是重中之重。此后不久成立了运输安全管理局 (TSA)，负责监督航空安全运营。然而，几乎没有对机场安全策略进行严格的评估，对它们在实践中如何实施的了解更少。作为使用“转化犯罪学”方法将 TSA 的“剧本”安全策略映射到有效的警务和犯罪预防实践的更大研究的一部分，我们对美国机场的 TSA 人员进行了首次调查，以了解如何该剧本已在实践中实施。我们发现，虽然该手册得到了很好的实施，但对其核心组成部分的遵守情况——有针对性的、重点突出的预防策略和多机构合作——各不相同。
