Title: The RASOR's Edge: Focused Deterrence in Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville

Summary: The Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) is a national program funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). SPI is based on a combination of three components: evidence-based, data-driven, and problem oriented policing. For three Massachusetts police agencies -- Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville – this translated into a focused deterrence initiative. The purpose of focused deterrence is to discourage criminal behavior by maintaining direct communication and contact with chronic offenders. Law enforcement personnel engage these individuals to inform them about their negative impact on the community and then provide alternative approaches and innovative efforts to combat the social harm they cause. To further cultivate relationships with the offenders, social service agencies provide community resources to match the prevention efforts by law enforcement. However, if the offender fails to comply with the prevention efforts made on his or her behalf, law enforcement has the authority to administer punitive sanctions. Led by the Cambridge Police Department, the three agencies established RASOR (pronounced razor) - Regional Analytics for the Safety of Our Residents.
