I'll say it: Parallel Construction.
Take out the really bad apples at the bottom of the barrel that law enforcement normally can't reach because they are isolated by many layers or are hard to get warrants for and it has to have a magnified effect on crime in general.
edit: to the 3 downvotes in 3 minutes, just because you don't like it doesn't make it not so. Since CompStat has a measurable effect you can be sure that something with way more targeted information will also have even more effect.
- JesperRavn 11y agoI'm only familiar with parallel construction being used in reference to very recent events, so it's not clear to me what you are referring to. Are you saying the evidence was there before, and they only started using parallel construction in the 90's? Or did new ways of getting evidence that required parallel construction appear?
- bsdetector 11y agoParallel construction is a recent term that describes the widespread use of unwarranted information. It seems reasonable to assume that beforehand there was less commonly used unwarranted information; in the 2000s they used it to arrest street gangs, in the 1990s they probably used it to arrest drug lords.
