Thus, a focused deterrence strategy<br \/>\nused by the police is a program that targets individuals with extensive<br \/>\ncriminal records for an intervention in an effort to reduce their<br \/>\ncriminal behavior.<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">One example of a focused deterrence strategy is Project Safe<br \/>\nNeighborhoods (PSN) in Chicago, where former gun felons were asked to<br \/>\nattend \u201coffender notification forums\u201d when released from prison. At<br \/>\nthese forums, individuals from Chicago Police Department, ATF, the<br \/>\nStates Attorney\u2019s Office reminded participants what would happen if they<br \/>\n used a gun and were caught (extra severe punishment) but also provided<br \/>\nparticipants with resources to stay off the streets (i.e., job leads,<br \/>\ntraining, mental health and educational services) (see Wallace et al,<br \/>\n2016). Results showed that attending an offender notification forum<br \/>\ndrastically reduced a participant\u2019s likelihood of going back to prison,<br \/>\nspecifically for new gun crimes. Scholars have shown that focused<br \/>\ndeterrence strategies reduced crime in neighborhoods where forums<br \/>\noccurred, as well as in the surrounding neighborhoods (Braga, Weisburd,<br \/>\nand Turchan, 2019).<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">In short, focused deterrence strategies are a promising way of<br \/>\nreducing crime that is tough to stop (i.e., like gun, gang, and drug<br \/>\nviolence).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">References (Not counted as part of your 3 required sources)<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Braga, A.
