[quote=Anonymous]Focused deterrence is an evidence-based approach to reducing violent crime. It's working in Baltimore City's western district. A carrot and stick approach. They identify the kids/young adults involved in violence, both victims and perpetrators, and offer wraparound services. The participants understand that if they choose not to engage in services, and subsequently commit a crime of violence, they will be prosecuted and given specific consequences. It has reduced shootings by 25%, has not displaced crime to other parts of the city, and has not resulted in an increase in overall arrests. [/quote]
