One part of the evaluation was a system\r\nperformance analysis. The purposes of this system performance analysis\r\nwere (1) to describe the problems of gang violence in Los Angeles and\r\nthe ways that incidents of gang violence were handled by the Los\r\nAngeles criminal justice system, and (2) to document the activities of\r\nOperation Hardcore and its effect on the criminal justice system's\r\nhandling of the cases prosecuted by that unit. Computer-generated\r\nlistings from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office of all\r\nindividuals referred for prosecution by local police agencies were used\r\nto identify those individuals who were subsequently prosecuted by the\r\nDistrict Attorney. Data from working files on all cases prosecuted,\r\nincluding copies of police, court, and criminal history records as well\r\nas information on case prosecution, were used to describe criminal\r\njustice handling.
