Risk Assessment

According to the assessment scores, "Jerry teenage Possession of a controlled substance (crack cocaine) with intent to sell” in Florida, and offers solutions to the problem, as well as a literature study and personal and professional reflection. The main difficulty for the Florida Police Department is the ease with which teenagers can obtain illicit firearms, which is a result of the high number of gangs in the area (Baglivio, 2018). Based on the research, the suggestions report includes implementing a comparable program to or adopting the program, Operation Ceasefire, which began in Boston, Massachusetts. Operation Ceasefire contributed to a 25% reduction in citywide gun assaults in a month, as well as a 44% reduction in the monthly number of youth crack cocaine in the D-2 district (Acciarini et al., 2020). This paper looks at the budgeting requirements, staffing possibilities, and the best outside business to assist with research and data gathering after the integration of Operation Ceasefire or a comparable program, in addition to making recommendations for the Florida Police Department. If the Florida Police Department is able to implement the recommended program, or something similar, the rate of gun violence in the community is expected to drop.

According to the Florida Herald, the essential mitigating factors missed by the assessment, the town was wracked by an unprecedented amount of teenage drug abuse b at the end of 2017 due to the high level of juvenile violence in the area (Acciarini et al., 2020). “A fatal combination of misbehaving teenagers, easy access to guns they shouldn't have, and residents' dread of disclosing what they know is a triple curse we can't seem to escape. But we're not going to give up.”

According to Florida's Local 10 News, I agree with the instruments score; guns killed six children and 88 teenagers due to drug abuse affects between 2013 and 2016. Twenty minors aged 19 and under were shot and killed in 2013, and the same number was repeated in 2015. In 2014, 27 minors aged 19 and under were shot and killed, and the same statistics were repeated in 2016 (Baglivio, 2018). Children's drug abuse has had an everlasting ripple effect throughout the community, prompting a desperate appeal for reform. The Florida Police Department has put out a list of ways to seek warning indicators of at-risk juveniles as part of their collaboration with the community's 415+ public schools, which serve over 350,000 children (Acciarini et al., 2020). Jerry of the Florida -Dade Schools Police Department stated that five children were shot before the first half of January due to the high number of young children killed by weapons in the first half of 2018. Jerry said that the level of juvenile drug abuse in Florida was limited to 27 specific neighbourhoods, all of which Florida has learnt to keep a careful eye on.

I would not base the assessment purely on instrument scores. To begin with, guys are more likely to be suspects of drugs than females. Second, guys start offending under drug abuse influence when they are between 13 and 15. Finally, the most common drug abusers are African American or Hispanic American males between 13 and 15. Fourth, the juvenile offender is most likely to be involved in difficulties after school, resulting in a suspension of more than five days from school. Finally, a GPA of 1.5 or lower is typical among adolescent offenders (Baglivio, 2018). The police agency was able to plan and organize how they could best support the community with the help of these pieces of information and extensive surveillance of areas throughout Florida.
