Gun Violence and Operation Ceasefire

Gun violence by young people is becoming more common. Today's young people tend to use guns to solve bullying problems and fight psychiatric disorders. Children are taking guns from their parents or going down the street and buying guns from random people. Some jurisdictions have started to use gun violence programs to solve these problems, but they are not everywhere and will not function forever. One such plan to learn later is "ceasefire action".

"Civil war action" was established as a strategy to solve the problem of young gun violence in Boston in 1995. This violence is concentrated in the poor city center such as Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan. In 1987, a 22 - year - old young man (under 24) was murdered in Boston, and in 1990 it was 73. The ceasefire process includes a problem-oriented approach to the police, focusing on specific places in crime hotspots. The combination of the two strategies has proven to be very effective. Special attention is paid to the two elements of illegal gun trafficking and gun violence including collective violence. In the ceasefire campaign in Boston, the number of murders among young people has decreased to 10, and in 1999 and 2000 only youth murders related to pistols occurred. Since then, other cities, including Los Angeles, have been reflected in the "Katfire Action" strategy.

Cooperation between Boston law enforcement agencies and local clergy quickly became a model to effectively deal with gun violence problems in the United States. From the 1990s to the early 2000s, a similar cease - fire type violence prevention program was launched in Los Angeles, California and Chicago, Illinois, requested to provide training to local clerics, between religious leaders and the project organizer Strong Cooperative Relationship In recent years Harvard researchers believe that the increase in violence is due at least in part to the relationship between law enforcement officials and faith groups despite the increase in killings by guns in Boston.
