Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

 One of the most successful examples of this policing strategy is in Boston. Known as Operation Ceasefire, this program aims to reduce youth homicide victimization and youth gun violence.
 Although it is a police-led program, Operation Ceasefire involves many other juvenile and criminal justice and social agencies, including probation and parole, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), gang outreach and prevention street workers, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This group of agencies has become known as the Ceasefire Working Group.
 The program has two main elements: A direct law enforcement focus on illicit gun traffickers who supply youth with guns; and an attempt to generate a strong deterrent to gang violence.
 A wide range of measures have been used to reduce the flow of guns to youth, including pooling the resources of local, state, and federal justice authorities to track and seize illegal guns and targeting traffickers of the types of guns most used by gang members.
 The response to gang violence has been equally comprehensive. The Ceasefire Working Group delivered its message clearly to gang members: We're ready, we're watching, we're waiting: Who wants to be next?
 An example of how the Working Group communicated this message to gang members is shown by the following poster, which was displayed throughout known gang areas in the city.
 Student views will vary.
