Strategies For Reducing Gun Violence & The Role of Gangs |
|
In reviewing the studies and evaluations of efforts to reduce gun and gang violence a general consensus emerged with respect to the need for COLLABORATION. Each study reviewed makes a convincing argument that the solution to the firearm and gang violence problem cannot be resolved through local police efforts alone. Suppression through enforcement offers a short-term solution and does little to influence levels of gun and gang violence in the long-run. Efforts that have demonstrated success in reducing gang violence rely heavily upon the successful collaboration of Government and Judicial agencies working in tandem with social service providers and community stakeholders.
The failure to sustain collaboration is often to blame when a previously successfull intervention fails to sustain its success. It is evident that as soon as violence decreases, the focus of those in charge of resources shifts to other areas and the violence soon begins to increase. Two words are extremely important to remember, SUSTAINABLE COLLOBORATION.
