Civil gang\r\nabatement is a legal strategy that employs the civil remedy of the\r\npreventive injunction to address persistent public nuisances caused by\r\ngangs in specific neighborhoods. This study focused on injunction\r\ninitiatives, which are efforts by prosecutors to acquire a preliminary\r\ninjunction against a gang, regardless of the decision by the\r\ncourt. The researcher examined all identified gang injunction cases\r\nfiled with the Superior Court of California from October 1987 through\r\nJune 2001. Data on gang activities that led to efforts to obtain\r\ninjunctions were gathered from court records, and additional data were\r\ngathered through surveys of the prosecutors involved in each\r\ninjunction initiative. Questions in the survey covered the nature of\r\nthe gang problem, the entity responsible for initiating the effort to\r\nget an injunction, specific events that triggered the initiative and\r\ninfluenced it after initiation, the existence of other interventions\r\nor programs conducted in conjunction with the initiative, the\r\nprosecutors' perceptions of the nature and impact of community\r\ninvolvement, and information on community entities that supported and\r\nopposed the initiatives.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03583.v1", "title": "Policing by Injunction:  Problem-Oriented Dimensions of Civil Gang Abatement in the State of California, 1987-2001"}], "identifier": "2983", "issued": "2003-06-05T00:00:00", "keyword": ["gang violence", "gangs", "injunctions", "intervention strategies", "neighborhoods", "program evaluation"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Policing by Injunction:  Problem-Oriented Dimensions of Civil Gang Abatement in the State of California, 1987-2001"}
