What are the similarities and differences between Operation Cease Fire and CompStat? Which is more effective in reducing homicide?
What will be an ideal response?
They are both police responses. Operation Ceasefire addressed gun-related gang violence. On the other hand, CompStat, which functioned as organizational system centered on the dissemination of crime data and promoting unique problem-solving practices, centered on reducing crime and disorder more generally. Operation Ceasefire did not result in a significant drop in the rate of firearm related youth homicides during or after the intervention period compared to the average trend across 95 cities examined. On the other hand, CompStat achieved a significant yet minimal decline on the homicide rate during the intervention compared to the average homicide rate across all cities. However, once other factors, such as population density and police size were taken into account, the decline was no longer significantly different from the rate of homicides for the rest of the included cities
