Making it Work: Research on the Mechanisms of Focused Deterrence Gang Initiatives
Thu, Nov 20, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, Sierra C, 5th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
The success of focused deterrence anti-violence initiatives has now been well established. This panel further delves into the mechanisms of focused deterrence by looking at the use of custom offender notifications as a supplemental narrowly focused short term deterrent; by contrasting the effectiveness of CJ-based focused deterrence strategies and community based public health models; by presenting the difficulties in coding gang incidents and discussing how these measurement issues can impact the implementation and evaluation of focused deterrence initiatives; and finally, by reporting on the results of the first evaluation of the New Orleans Group Violence Reduction Strategy.
