Operation Hardcore [Crime] Evaluation: Los Angeles, 1976-1980
This evaluation was developed and implemented by the Los
Angeles District Attorney's Office to examine the effectiveness of
specialized prosecutorial activities in dealing with the local problem
of rising gang violence, in particular the special gang prosecution
unit Operation Hardcore. One part of the evaluation was a system
performance analysis. The purposes of this system performance analysis
were (1) to describe the problems of gang violence in Los Angeles and
the ways that incidents of gang violence were handled by the Los
Angeles criminal justice system, and (2) to document the activities of
Operation Hardcore and its effect on the criminal justice system's
handling of the cases prosecuted by that unit. Computer-generated
listings from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office of all
individuals referred for prosecution by local police agencies were used
to identify those individuals who were subsequently prosecuted by the
District Attorney. Data from working files on all cases prosecuted,
including copies of police, court, and criminal history records as well
as information on case prosecution, were used to describe criminal
justice handling. Information from several supplementary sources was
also included, such as the automated Prosecutors Management Information
System (PROMIS) maintained by the District Attorney's Office, and court
records from the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County,
the local felony court.
