I'm intrigued by the Boston Gun Project: Operation Ceasefire. It was a highly coordinated project which included: 1) assembling an interagency working group of largely line-level criminal justice and other practitioners; 2) applying quantitative and qualitative research techniques to create an assessment of the nature of, and dynamics driving, youth violence in Boston; 3) developing an intervention designed to have a substantial, near-term impact on youth homicide: 4) implementing and adapting the intervention; and 5) evaluating the intervention's impact.
It's time for The Toronto Gun Project: Operation Trend Upsetter.
