| Murders Down 40% After Gang Meetings in Cincinnati
9/02/10David Kennedy -- the New York professor behind a nearly 15-year-old law enforcement strategy of warning gang leaders to put their guns down or else -- said he expects Chicago will see a dramatic decrease in killings after launching a pilot program here. It has been done in about 60 jurisdictions across the country, including Cincinnati, where murders are down about 40 percent since 2007, Kennedy said. Kennedy, director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, is an adviser for the Chicago program.
On Aug. 17, representatives of law-enforcement agencies met with a small group of alleged gang chiefs from the West Side. Police told the leaders they must stop the killing or they and their gangs would immediately be targeted by law-enforcement officials with everything from federal conspiracy charges to increased parole visits and traffic enforcement.
