We must evaluate existing programs before designing new ones."1 Malcolm W. Klein Ph.D. The twin cities of Minneapolis and St.Paul have undergone a profound change over the past decade. Beginning with the gang shooting of Christine Kreitz, escalating to the assassination of Minneapolis police officer Jerry Haaf and continuing on through a record year, in 1995, of gang related and involved killings, the twin cities have seen the homicide count continue to rise despite several police administrations attempts to bring it to a halt. Almost simultaneously with the recognition of a twin cities gang problems, both Minneapolis and St.Paul police also began the process of adopting community policing. Each city's community policing philosophy has had a clearly discernable effect on its gang problems. This research project proposes to evaluate the community policing responses of the Minneapolis and Saint Paul police departments from 1984 to 1995, concentrating on each department's response to the presence of Midwestern street gangs. The research project will result in an explanation of the new evolutionary model of the Midwestern street gang member. The research will provide recommendations for future effective community policing anti-gang strategies. � � - � b �- � TABLE OF CONTENTS Statement of the Problem Page 1 Research Approach Page 5 Goals/Objectives Page 6 Methodology Page 8 Evaluation Criteria Page 10 Organization and Management Plan Page 12 References Page 14 . G �- i �=��- PROJECT NARRATIVE The Nature of the Problem The metropolitan area referred to as the Twin Cities consists of two major urban centers, Minneapolis and Saint Paul that �lie adjacent to each other in the eastern part of the State of Minnesota. The City of Saint Paul is a city of the first class with a population of 272, 000. The city is called the Capitol City since the State Capitol is situated within it. However, it is the second largest city in the state with the larger of the twin cities being Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Having 390,000 residents is an urban hub that is the center of the business and entertainment industry. Both cities have a unique population component as being the site of the largest concentration of South East Asians outside of Orange County, California. The twin cities' crime rate historically has been rated relatively low when compared to other cities of comparable size and makeup. According to the area's local analysts there were no organized youth street gangs in the twin cities until 1984. Throughout this proposal the definition of street gang is that of the State of Minnesota statutory definition: MS 609.229. °a gang is a group of 1 � � � �- l��i��- three or more people, with a common name, common symbols, hierarchial organization, which is organized to commit crime or to -- give support to members who commit crimes." In 1985, the twin cities found themselves the home to a new type of criminal, the organized youth street gang in the form or the Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples from Chicago. These gangs attempted to set up criminal franchises here just as they had in their home state. They quickly gained notoriety when several members of the Gangster Disciples were involved in the killing of Christine Kreitz, one of their gang members, in Minneapolis. At that time neither the Minneapolis nor the Saint Paul police departments had a gang unit and shortly thereafter there was a much ballyhooed statement from the then Minneapolis Police Chief, Anthony Bouza, "there is no organized gang problem in Minneapolis". Within a year of making this statement, Chief Bouza started the first gang unit in the state and added it to the several community policing initiatives he had begun. Simultaneously Saint Paul Chief of Police, William McCutcheon, was echoing Bouza's sentiment as the El Rukins and Vice Lords took up residence in the Capitol City. Chief McCutcheon at that time was already heavily involved in community policing having been an innovative leader. He had assisted in an effort to create the city's first public housing patrol and other neighborhood policing projects. McCutcheon was continuing in this direction and was 2 ' q (� _ ( O�l �-- responsible for the reestablishment of foot beats on Selby Avenue, which was located within a stressed neighborhood and considered unsafe by many of the residents. The foot patrol was empowered to take on problems and act proactively against the gangs who were beginning to operate in the area. At that time crime analysts in both the Minneapolis and Saint Paul police departments estimated the number of gang members at no more than 200 individuals for both cities. Over the next three years the gangs continued to expand and during this time two major developments occurred. In 1986 the migration of the Los Angeles' Crips and Bloods gangs began. The second major development was the discovery of South East Asian gangs operating in both cities. Both of these developments signaled the arrival of a fundamentally new type of gang, one of which neither the Minneapolis nor Saint Paul police departments had been aware. This new type of gang from Los Angeles, that is a flat gang, due to its flat organizational structure, and having a more organic operation. It operated more like a cell structure than a paramilitary or hierarchical structure. The new gangs were also different because they recruited and used women for operational gang roles, also recruited multi-racially, and were far more regionally mobile. Finally, they tended to not have a clear pattern of crime, committing what has been called "cafeteria style" crimes. 3 � � � �-� ( d� -� Since 1990, gang activity has continued to grow at a rate of approximately 20� per year. The number of different gangs qrew to more than 50 and the individual membership ranks grew to 6000 as the migration continued from Los Angeles and Chicago2. At the same time local youth were joining the more established gangs and expanding their membership while also starting up both their own version of the Los Angeles style along with traditional gangs. White supremacist groups brought yet another new element to this exploding subculture. White youth founded either graffiti tagging crews, white supremacists gangs or "wigger" gangs. Throughout the 1980's and into the 1990 's gangs continued their growth in the twin cities metropolitan area resulting in an escalating rate of violence. Simultaneously both cities were moving farther along the community policing continuum. The Minneapolis police administration began a partnership between the patrol division, the expanded gang unit and The City Inc. , a controversial private non-profit organization which interacted with gang members in some instances. This was one of several community relations attempts made by then Chief John Laux. Despite these concerted actions, gang membership and violence continued to grow, culminating in the assassination of Officer Jerry Haaf by members of the Vice Lord gang in August of 1993. By 1995, Minneapolis found itself facing a record homicide rate. In Saint Paul, Chief William Finney began his tenure in July of 4 � � � � - ��� �- 1993 with a mandate to expand community policing. Over the years the aggressive anti-gang approach of the Selby foot beat had been replaced with the more community oriented outreach of substations and block watches. Saint Paul also continued to experience increasing gang violence. Drive-by shootings near inner city schools, shootings in city parks, fire bombings of homes and homicides in the middle of the downtown shopping complex, all served to put the police on notice that gangs had not moved out. RESEARCH APPROACH The Research will be coordinated by Sgt. John Harrington, Asst. Professor at Metropolitan State University's School of Law enforcement. Sgt. Harrington is a 19 year veteran of the Saint Paul Police Department and is responsible for directing the department's school related programs including School Liaison, DARE, the Truancy Center and the school district's Zero Gang Tolerance effort. Sgt. Harrington has been an instructor at Metropolitan State for more than 10 years and was the director of the project which created the School of Law Enforcement. Sgt. Harrington teaches both A Community Policing course and classes on the Juvenile Justice system. The gang research component will be conducted by a cross- disciplinary team consisting of individuals from the Midwest Gang Investigators Association (M.G.I.A) . The M.G.I.A. is chaired and directed by Sgt. Joseph Mollner a 20+ year veteran of gang 5 • ' �� �, _ (� ��-- investigations with the Saint Paul Police Department and Sgt. Loren Evenrude of the Minneapolis Park police. The community policing assessment will be conducted by a team of technical advisors from the Minnesota Community Policing Institute. The Community Policing Institute is directed by Sgt. Linda Miller. She is author of the text, Comm�?n��y Policing - Theory and Practice. Sgt. Miller is originally from the Bloomington,MN Police Department, where she was in charge of their community policing efforts. Oral histories will be collected through interviews conducted by Hand in Hand Inc. , a private nonprofit agency specializing in youth related research via the development of oral histories. The President of Hand in Hand is Kathleen Cavett, an oral historian who has won numerous awards for radio documentaries. Cavett is also a Chemical Dependency counselor who has worked extensively with juveniles in treatment and correctional settings. This research project is proposed as a formative qualitative evaluation on the effect of community policing on the spread of gang activity in the twin cities from 1984 through 1995. The research will be a set up as an after-only evaluation. GOAL3 6 � ��-- I ��� :�� The evaluation has two general goals: 1. Evaluation and assessment of the effectiveness of community policing gang prevention strategies. 2. Creation of a gang typology that is more descriptive and thereby useful to criminal justice professional. The primary objectives of the evaluation assessment of the community policing anti-gang efforts are: • to describe the activities involved in the planning and implementation of community policing anti-gang strategies. � to describe the community policing anti-gang program components that emerged and assess the extent to which program goals were achieved. � to interview the Chiefs of Police about the history of community policing and gang prevention or intervention strategies, thus delineating the historical record. • to analyze the history of community policing in the twin cities for the purpose of being able to chart by time line the types of gang intervention strategies. The results of this research program will provide the law enforcement community in Minnesota with up-to-date research on the etiology and evolution of gangs. It will also provide a variety of agencies with information about community policing strategies that have high probability of success. 7 � � G� � � l��a- These results will have a much broader impact than on just the twin cities area of Minnesota. It is anticipated that the model of gangs that will be delineated will be instructive for suburban and rural communities that are now in the inception stage of gang problems. This model will also be applicable to many other cities, since there is a steady movement of gang members back and forth between the larger cities in the United States. Articles on the study's findings will be submitted to national journals and newsletters including: Criminology and the ACJS Journal . Additionally, a radio/television documentary is planned based on the gang oral histories. At this time, the local public television station has expressed significant interest in the project. Such a documentary would be available to other public broadcasting stations nationwide. Channel Two, which serves the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan area, is a television production center. The documentary could also be disseminated in the commercial television market. METHODOLOGY The evaluation will involve on-site field work at 15 police precincts, substations and storefront operations in Minneapolis and Saint Paul by members of the Community Policing research team. In addition in depth site visits consisting of 2-3 days to each department's gang investigators offices. These site visits will 8 � �, . �c��a-- serve as the main vehicle for collecting qualitative data. During the site visit key individuals will be identified and interviewed, participants will be observed and documents analyzed. In addition oral histories from Chiefs Bouza, McCutcheon, Laux and the current Chiefs (Finney in Saint Paul and Olson in Minneapolis) will be collected to analyze the history of community policing and gang prevention and intervention strategies in their respective departments. Archival research will be done to discover the records of these agencies. Such textual sources as department and annual reports, federal crime statistics, news stories, and speeches will be used to corroborate and validate the interviews. Field notes and case studies will be recorded for each of the sites and cross-site comparisons which will assist in identifying common anti-gang methods will be completed. Hand in Hand Inc. will conduct interviews resulting in oral histories of 100 or more past or present gang members. This information will be taped and later transcribed. The information to be collected on gang members will include: age, race, educational background, economic status, place of origin, and criminal background. In addition, background information on the gang itself will be collected including: the name of the gang, number of inembers, style of leadership, initiation rules, organizational rules, history, and symbols. Gang members will also be asked about their reasons for joining, for staying, and, if appropriate, leaving. Members will also be asked to fill in a 9 � � � t�- i���-. descriptive time line which describes the different police responses to gang activities that they have seen and/or been part of. Selection criteria will be created to insure diversity by racial category ,by gang affiliation( Gangster Disciples (Black and White) , Vice Lords, Latin Kings, Crips (Black and South East Asian) , Blood (Black and South East Asian) ; and by gender, females. The gang members will be preselected based on their willingness to cooperate and juvenile history. Members of the anti-gang squads past and present would be also be interviewed by the Gang Research team. Among those already identified for interviewing are Sgt. W.R Luckow ret. , Mike Schoeben ret. , Sgt. Butch Benner ret. , Sgt. Kit Hoskins, Sgt.John Pyka, and Lt. Dan Carlson. These individuals will be interviewed regarding the departmental response to gangs and the history of gang activity in the cities. EVALIIATION CRITERIA To determine the success of the various anti-gang programs, we will create a four part comparative time line. The time line will consist of: 1. A community policing time line based on interviews and archival study. 10 . ct � e �o �a-- 2 . Crime statistics assessing youth's violent crime in both cities as an obj ective measure of the impact of community policing anti-gang programs. 3 . Anti-gang strategy effectiveness assessment and time line, based on the oral histories of gang member responses to how effective police strategies were. 4. Gang specialists gang growth assessment and anti-gang strategy time line. By graphing all four of the above time lines, a youth gang developmental chart will emerge which will show correlations between changes in gang activity and membership and the implementation of community policing strategies. Success will be assessed through the correlation of self-report data indicating that police intervention or prevention efforts resulted in a reduction of the number of gangs and members and in the reduction of the violent crime index and FBI crime rate statistics. The primary components of gang typology and etiology are: • Collection of oral histories from past, present, and future gang members seeking information on the organizational structure, reasons, and process of joining the gang, police strategies, their personal and the gang reactions to police interventions and if appropriate reasons and process for getting out of the gang. • Conducting a literature search on the issues of gangs in the Midwest. 11 . . � `- ���a-- • Analysis of the gang oral histories and creation of a gang typology that more accurately explains the two gang types. • Correlation of the historical development of community policing with the development and implementation of anti-gang strategies to the growth of youth gangs in the twin cities. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN 10/96 Coordinator works with the Gang Research adviser and Community policing advisor to select research teams. 11/96 - 1/97 Hand in Hand Inc. conducts oral history sessions and records the youth's statement on audio video tape. Parental releases will be sought for all juveniles subjects and general releases will be sought for all other gang members interviewed. Interviews will be taped and then transcribed. 11/96 - 1/97 Gang Research task force will attempt to corroborate all gang members information. 11/96 Gang research team identifies gang specialists and conduct interviews. 11/96 Research team designs a typology based on the oral interviews of the gang members. 11/96 - 1/97 Community Policing Research team identifies the Chiefs and other policy makers who are responsible for the development of the police department's 12 � G( L- ( v�a-- community policing and during the target period 1984 through 1995. 3/97 - 7/97 Community Policing Research Team conducts site visits to interview with police managers and other personnel. 9/97 Research Team leaders collaborate to designs a historical matrix to show correlations between COP development and anti-gang strategies. 9/97 Research team correlates data on effect of police strategies from oral histories to the department anti-gang strategies and rates the strategies. 9/97 Research team identifies the strategies that have had the highest rates of success. 9/97 Research team leaders writes the final report on research project. 9/97 Research team leaders prepare articles for publication in journals such as Criminology, The Gang Journal, Midwest Gang Investigators Newsletter. 9/97 Hand in Hand, Inc.
