Abstract

Similar to many cities across the nation, Hayward, CA, is experiencing an uptick in gun-related violence. From 2015 to 2021, the City of Hayward experienced a 147% increase in assaults with a firearm and a 106% increase in firearm discharges. Gun crimes continue to threaten the safety of the community and its first responders. Likewise, technological advancements and the availability of non-serialized firearms, such as ghost guns, are becoming an increasing threat to community members. Through an evaluation of firearm-related criminal cases from 2015 to 2021, researchers seek to understand the extent and nature of gun violence in the City of Hayward, crime control efforts, and how firearm-related crimes have changed over time. The goal is to analyse trends in gun-related incidents to help shape future policies, data collection, and responses to gun-related calls for service.

排除暴力:对一个海湾地区城市的幽灵枪、枪支相关暴力和执法政策的评估

与全国许多城市类似，加利福尼亚州海沃德市与枪支有关的暴力事件也在增加。从2015年到2021年，海沃德市的持枪袭击事件增加了147%，开枪事件增加了106%。枪支犯罪继续威胁着社区及其急救人员的安全。同样，技术进步和幽灵枪等非系列枪支的可用性正在对社区成员构成越来越大的威胁。通过对2015年至2021年枪支相关刑事案件的评估，研究人员试图了解海沃德市枪支暴力的程度和性质、犯罪控制工作，以及枪支相关犯罪如何随着时间的推移而变化。目标是分析枪支相关事件的趋势，以帮助制定未来的政策、数据收集和对枪支相关服务呼吁的回应。
