FINAL EVALUATIONS OF EIGHT OF THE TEN PROJECTS MAKING UP THE DETERRENCE, DETECTION, AND APPREHENSION (DDA) OPERATING PROGRAM OF THE CLEVELAND IMPACT CITIES PROGRAM.

Abstract

DDA WAS ONE OF TWO OPERATING PROGRAMS AIMED AT MINIMIZING OPPORTUNITIES TO COMMIT CRIME AND MAXIMIZING RISK FOR OFFENDERS. SUBSIDIARY DDA GOALS WERE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER AND RATE OF ARRESTS AND THE NUMBER AND RATE OF CLEARANCES. THE EIGHT PROJECTS EVALUATED INCLUDE THE CONCENTRATED CRIME PATROL PROEJCT, UPGRADING FELONY AND NARCOTIC INVESTIGATIVE UNITS, AUXILIARY POLICE AND POLICE OUTREACH CENTERS, RESPONSE TIME REDUCTION, SECURITY PATROL FOR THE ELDERLY, IMPACT STREETLIGHTING, AND IMPACT AWARENESS. THESE PROJECTS WERE AIMED AT REDUCING THE INDEX CRIMES OF MURDER AND NON-NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER, FORCIBLE RAPE, ROBBERY, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, AND BURGLARY. DATA WERE GATHERED FROM MONTHLY AND ANNUAL UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS OF THE CLEVELAND POLICE DEPARTMENT TO THE FBI. THE OTHER TWO DDA PROJECTS, THE PUBLIC INFORMATION PROJECT AND THE IMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL PROJECT, WERE EVALUATED UNDER SEPARATE COVER DUE TO EARLIER COMPLETION DATES.
