Title: The Stop Snitching Phenomenon: Breaking the Code of Silence
Summary: In order to ascertain the "stop snitching" phenomenon and how it is affecting important issues such as witness cooperation, clearance rates, and police departments' overall ability to bring criminals to justice, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) undertook this project with support by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services to survey 300 law enforcement agencies and to gather together more that 100 criminal justice officials and community leaders to discover what is driving the stop snitching movement. The intent was to use that knowledge to develop programs and partnerships to address the issue. This report includes case studies documenting successful law enforcement and community approaches that have been implemented.

Title: Building Trust After a Police Shooting: Community Intervention Teams in Columbus, Ohio
Summary: The killing in December 2005 of Nasir Abdi, a young man suffering from mental illness, provoked the Somali community of Columbus, Ohio, to angry protest. But the killing also became the test-bed for a new, constructive response to such killings, organized by the official human rights commission in Columbua -- an entity known as the Columbus Community Relations Commission. Previous police shootings had alerted the Commission to the need to be ready in a moment of crisis to respond constructively to such a shooting, and the Commission's director had designed a response known as a Community Intervention Team (CIT). Nasir Abdi's death became the occasion for the first mobilization of a CIT. This case study describes the design of the CIT and its implementation in the wake of Nasir Abdi's death. The study also focuses on the role of the Commission in guiding the CIT towards its successful agreement.
