Luckily we have the FBI uniform crime report to inform us. In 2018, Camden had 16 violent crimes per 1000 residents. Ten years earlier, it had 23 per 1000. Murders fell from 54 to 23.
In adjacent Philadelphia, violent crime fell from 14 to 9 per 1000, the same ratio as Camden enjoyed. Therefore it stands to reason that Camden's violent, corrupt police force was not necessary to reduce crime. This is consistent with other evidence that aggressive, violent police tactics are not associated with lower crime.
