History

Historical Context

Boston’s 1996 Operation Ceasefire—co-directed by criminologist David M. Kennedy and backed by the Boston Police, FBI and city agencies—cut youth homicides by 63% within a year. The program’s multi-agency “pulling levers” model became the Group Violence Intervention, adopted by dozens of cities. San Francisco’s D-Line raid follows this proven, controversy-laden policing template.
