| 3485: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This book is about the Little Village Gang Violence Reduction Project, which was based on the idea that the gang problem is defined not only by the delinquent or criminal behaviors of gangs and gang members but also by what the community institutions do or do not do to prevent and control the problem. Certain youth and the community together - including its component parts, particularly family, police, schools, youth agencies, probation, churches and neighborhood organizations and political administrations as well as larger social, economic and cultural factors - are responsible for the creation and intensification of the problem. The model proposes that a special structure of these agencies and community groups must be developed to focus and implement strategies toward target youth in gang-problem communities. | | | | Date Created: | 2003 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003700 Original UID: 3546 FIRST WORD: The | |

| 3488: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This is the eighth report on Chicago's community policing program. The Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) was inaugurated in April 1993. After experimenting in five police districts, the program was expanded to encompass the entire city. This report examines CAPS progress through the end of 2003, more than ten years after its inception. The first section summarizes what has been learned about citizen involvement in the program, through an analysis of beat meetings and district advisory committees. The next section describes changes over time in Chicagoans' assessments of the quality of police service. Next is a description of trends in crime and fear in Chicago's neighborhoods, followed by a description of CAPS problem-solving efforts and trends in neighborhood problems. Then, the report presents an in-depth look at conditions in the Latino community. The report concludes with an analysis of new management initiatives within the Police Department aimed at enhancing the implementation of Department priorities. | | | | Date Created: | 02 26 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003703 Original UID: 3543 FIRST WORD: CAPS | |
| 3489: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This summary deals with the development of the Gang Violence Reduction Project (GVRP), with Project operations, and with Project outcomes at the individual-youth, gang, police district, and community resident and organization levels. Information for our analysis comes from monthly activity reports to the Chicago Police Department, interim program evaluations, gang member surveys and self-reports, Project worker summary reports, field observations, focus group findings, police arrest and incident data, community resident and organization surveys, administrative letters and memos, and newspaper reports. What distinguished the Project from prior (and to some extent subsequent) gang-control, intervention, and community-involvement programs, was its strong grass-roots orientation, involving former gang leaders or influentials as outreach youth workers, and their collaboration with police, probation, and a neighborhood organization to penetrate chronic, violent youth gangs, and to modify their behavior. | | | | Date Created: | 04 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003704 Original UID: 3542 FIRST WORD: Evaluation | |

| 3492: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2003 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This audit of the Illinois criminal history record system, maintained by the Illinois State Police (ISP), was another in a series of assessments conducted by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) pursuant to requirements of the Bureau of Justice Assistance funding guidelines. This audit was designed as a follow-up to the 1995 statewide audit conducted by ICJIA. This audit was conducted on records created after Illinois began its participation in the program (covering the period 1994-1998), and just before a major re-write of ISP's Computerized Criminal History (CCH) database was implemented in September, 1999. The findings presented here measure the progress made since 1995 and serve as a benchmark by which to assess future improvements to the Illinois criminal history record system. | | | | Date Created: | 03 2003 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003707 Original UID: 3552 FIRST WORD: Criminal | |
