Although the latter component was not widely available when the intervention began, researchers found that the intervention helped reduce violent and gang crime in the targeted districts and that crime also decreased in surrounding communities.Firearms and crimeCaliforniaLos AngelesGangsCaliforniaLos AngelesJuvenile delinquencyCaliforniaLos AngelesPreventionViolent crimesCaliforniaLos AngelesPreventionFirearms and crimeGangsJuvenile delinquencyPrevention.Violent crimesPrevention.364.409794/94Abrahamse Allan F1235415Grammich Clifford A(Clifford Anthony),1963-1235416Greenwood Peter W1132624Ridgeway Greg1973-864819Riley Kevin Jack1964-924080Tita George1144280Rand Corporation.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220102403321Reducing gun violence2869460UNINA
