This webinar will be held in both English and Spanish. Translation from English to Spanish and vice versa will be provided.
Between 2011 and 2018, shooting and homicide rates fell by around 50 percent in New York City. During this time, there was a prominent shift in policing tactics from a regime of mass enforcement centered on frequent street stops and field interrogations to a regime of precision policing, in which the department focused on a smaller number of suspected criminal organizations which were thought to drive gun violence in the city.
In this webinar, Aaron Chalfin (University of Pennsylvania) will present evidence on the effectiveness of the signature policy of the new policing regime in New York City: targeted "gang takedowns" in the city's public housing communities. Thomas Abt (Council on Criminal Justice) will comment on the implications of this research. A 10-minute Q&A will follow the presentations. We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them. |
