What are the steps of a demonstration enforcement action
Select a stand out group, identify all group members, design an inter-agency enforcement plan, conclude the investigation enforcement action 1 to 2 weeks prior to the first call in
To be effective demonstration enforcement actions must make group members understand that the rules have changed and that lawn Forssman can carry out its promises after a group member engages in the prohibited behaviors
True
What three ideas are linked to moral voices
Informal social control legitimacy and Police community reconciliation
The ability of the criminal justice system to oppose punishment what scholars call formal social control is generally the least important influence on a persons decision to commit or not commit a crime. What is
What matters the most are the norms and values held and promoted by individuals, peer groups, families, and communities that regard crime in general or specific crimes as wrong. This includes internal conscious and shame and X ternal beliefs of peers loved ones families in the community
If people are not sure that refraining from violence is the right thing to do if they do not understand that their own community just proves violence and 50 C law-enforcement as an illegitimate are they more or less likely to commit violent acts
They are more likely to commit violent acts
How does GVI to enhance legitimacy
By sending messages that they are working with the community that they care about them and the community that they respect what they know and how vulnerable they are that they want them safe alive and out of jail and letting them know what will happen if they do continue to commit violence
A display of enforcement action is done before the call in so that they can tell the group what they did what is done after the Colin
After the call and takes place in the group members see the police responding to violence at the request of the affected community in a way that they said they were doing the Call inthe police action will seem transparent and predictable in the community will see the police is trustworthy

The working group should keep the number of group members attending a call in to approximate 40 or less. Because DVI relies on group accountability members from each group in a jurisdiction must be present at the call in
Where should I call-in take place
To enhance the call in effect on group members holding the call in at a nonthreatening place of civic importance may be better while many call Erins have been held in court rooms that setting might send an overly harsh message to group members. Instead, Hold the call in at a park building library or community center instead of a criminal justice site because it changes the tone of the meeting and Group members feel as though they are part of the community

How far out should a call and or custom notification be given for people who are exiting prison
No more than six months left in their sentence
