"Strategic Decision Support Centers (SDSCs) are the Chicago Police Department’s
(CPD’s) district-level real-time crime centers (RTCCs), launched in January 2017 and expanded
in 2018. They serve as command and control centers for staff to gain awareness of what is happening
in their districts and decide on responses. Their objectives are to improve districts’
abilities to reduce crime, hold offenders accountable, improve officer safety, and reduce service
times."

Forget Broken Windows: Think "Busy Streets"
"Neighborhoods struggling with physical decline and high crime often become safer simply when local residents work together to fix up their neighborhood.
...Research from cities across the United States shows how small changes to urban environments—like planting flowers or adding benches—reduce violence.
The result is an emerging crime prevention theory we call 'busy streets.'
Busy streets flips the logic of the broken windows theory—a controversial criminological approach to public safety—on its head. Broken windows defenders see urban disorder in U.S. cities—graffiti, litter, actual broken windows, and the like—as a catalyst of antisocial behavior. So they direct police to crack down on minor offenses like vandalism, turnstile jumping, and public drinking.
Proponents of busy streets theory, on the other hand, believe it’s better for neighborhoods to clean up and maintain their own city streets."

Crime and Policing Revisited
"This paper outlines the stark differences in the nature of police crime control conversations between the first convening of the Executive Session on Policing (1985-1991) and the second (2008-2014) resulting from an unprecedented growth in rigorous evaluation research on what works in police crime prevention.
The author provides an overview of what was known about the police and crime prevention at the time of the first Executive Session; what was proposed then as promising new ways for the police to reduce crime; and the research conducted during the 1990s and 2000s that examined the efficacy of these ideas. Finally, the paper concludes by offering two central ideas on continuing effective police crime prevention policies and practices suggested by participants of the second Executive Session and supported by existing research evidence."
