The evaluation assessed changes in gun violence at the community level and the gang level by comparing: (1) shootings in the Focused Deterrence (FD) target area to shootings in a set of matched comparison neighborhoods (community level), and (2) shootings attributed to the FD targeted gangs before and after the strategy was implemented (gang level). A hypothesized gang level change also was assessed by comparing expected reductions in shootings around FD gang turfs to shootings in the turf areas around a set of statistically matched gangs from other parts of Philadelphia.
