Case Study - Reducing Crime Rates in Urban America
What can be achieved by using intention-base technology to work with the field?
This classic study focused on reducing the crime rate in major US cities.
Between 2002 and 2007 the urban murder rate in the US had been steadily increasing. Over the next three years between 2007 and 2010 the upward trend was reversed by 1,725 meditators in Fairfield Iowa. During this period there was a 28.4% decrease in murders in 206 urban environments. This equates to 4,136 murders being averted.

To achieve this result there was no increase in community patrols. There was no petitioning of Mayors for better law enforcement. From an outward perspective there was no effort involved. The men and women just sat and interacted with the field.
The chances that the reduced trend in murder rates could simply be due to chance is 1 in 10 million million.
The success of the project was faciliated by reliable crime statistics being available.
If the field can be influenced to reduce the crime rate, what difference is there in auto insureres using intention-based technology to reduce the frequency and severity of car accidents or airlines improving the fuel efficiency of their aircraft?
