Description | From 2013 to 2017, the City of Reno experienced significant increases in gun and violent crime that impeded the safety of the community. The RPD obtained funding through a grant to reduce gun and violent crime by utilizing four intervention strategies: focused deterrence, hot spot policing, crime prevention through environmental design, and community outreach. This thesis examines and evaluates the intervention strategies implemented at specific geographic locations in Reno that experienced disproportionately higher levels of violence and gun crime. The results of this study provide partial support for the effectiveness of the intervention strategies. These findings are further contextualized in the discussion section with an emphasis on the implications for other law enforcement agencies looking to adopt similar evidence-based policing strategies in their cities. | |
