“…Some have focused on incident‐level variables, including victim demographic characteristics, situational aspects of the crime incident, and investigation‐related variables (e.g., Braga et al., 2019; Roberts, 2007). Others have explored aggregate‐level factors, including characteristics of the relevant police agency and the jurisdiction that it serves (e.g., Braga & Dusseault, 2018; Eitle et al., 2005; Regoeczi & Jarvis, 2013; Roberts, 2008; Roberts & Roberts, 2022; Scott et al., 2019; Worrall, 2019). Throughout this literature, scholars have recognized the essential role of citizen cooperation in crime investigations leading to an arrest (e.g., Carter & Carter, 2016; Keel et al., 2009) and incorporated it into explanations of the dynamics of these variables’ relationships with crime clearance.…”
