Sample Programs for Class Final Project*indicates may be used as an example in the course Crime Related Scared Straight Community Policing Fight Crime Invest in Kids* Neighborhood Watch Domestic Violence Arrest policy* Delancy Street Moving Company (job training for ex cons)*- Today’s Example The city of Syracuse has recently launched a new violence intervention project called Syracuse Truce. Syracuse Truce is a partnership of community members, law enforcement and service providers that is designed to reduce gun violence. Syracuse Truce is based on a model that has proven to be effective in addressing gang problems in Boston, Indianapolis, Lowell and Cincinnati. The model is based on focused deterrence, focusing additional enforcement efforts on the small number of offenders (and their associated gang contacts) who are responsible for a disproportionate share of gun violence. Those individuals and groups willing to cooperate with the message of Syracuse Truce will also be assisted in making connections with service providers and other appropriate programs.
