Jaxon Van Derbeken skriver i San Francisco Chronicle om S.F. homicides fall as police flood tough areas
Homicides began dropping late last year, around the time the department put in place a targeted enforcement strategy known as the Violence Reduction Plan. The effort concentrates narcotics officers, foot patrols and sweeps for wanted parolees in high-crime areas. Police officials have put the plan in place in five neighborhoods – the Mission, Tenderloin, Bayview, Sunnydale and Western Addition. ….Deputy Chief Kevin Cashman said police concluded that a small segment of the population is responsible for a large share of violent crime, and that taking those people off the streets is leading to the drop not only in homicides but in violent crime across the board. Nonfatal shootings, for example, have declined from 140 in the first half of 2007, to 105 in the first six months of 2008, to 99 so far this year.
Plats för ett studiebesök i San Francisco för ett gäng svenska poliser alltså.
