Abstract
Purpose
Crime Gun Intelligence Centers (CGICs) are organized around the investigation of repeat shooting events that are connected through intelligence derived from the National Integrative Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN). This study investigates the potential of the Detroit CGIC to increase clearance rates for fatal and nonfatal shooting cases with NIBIN leads.
Method
The analysis consists of logistic regression models to estimate the sample average treatment effect on the treated, using weights from coarsened exact matching to reduce imbalance between treated and control cases.
Results
The study found that the benefits of the Detroit CGIC increased the odds of clearing fatal and nonfatal shooting cases with NIBIN leads. This effect is more pronounced when the Detroit CGIC optimized its capability to provide advanced intelligence.
Conclusion
Law enforcement agencies should prioritize the efficient processing of ballistic evidence and the creation of comprehensive NIBIN lead reports, particularly those containing advanced intelligence. Collaboration with the NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center is also crucial in this regard, as are the resources provided through CGICs. Grant funding is essential to support these critical initiatives in the short term, while operational funding from city and/or state budgets is crucial for their long-term sustainability.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest.
Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
