Abstract

Abstract Violent crime is on the rise in many American cities and the annual cost to police and the community increases proportionally. Violent crime scenes are similar to the calamity experienced with natural or human-made disasters. Understanding how it could have been prevented, what services were needed, and what remaining gaps still exist in services and resources is critical. The narrative can be shifted by treating violent crime like naturally occurring disasters and applying comprehensive emergency management strategies to prepare, mitigate, respond, and recover from this whole community hazard. This dynamic emergency management-based approach outlines coordination across key agencies and stakeholders, and has the potential to mitigate the impact of violent crime in major urban cities in the United States (US). Using the District of Columbia (DC) as a sample study area, this policy proposal is supported by a qualitative analyses of available data, including from the limited existing literature and from related DC agencies. Findings demonstrate how the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (DCHSEMA), can coordinate response and hold agencies accountable within its current capacity while supporting the interoperability of all related violent crime agencies involved. These findings have both national and international implications.
应急管理原则在暴力犯罪应对和城市韧性中的应用
美国许多城市的暴力犯罪呈上升趋势,警察和社区每年的成本也相应增加。暴力犯罪现场类似于自然或人为灾害所经历的灾难。至关重要的是,要了解如何预防艾滋病,需要哪些服务,以及在服务和资源方面还存在哪些缺口。通过将暴力犯罪视为自然灾害,并应用全面的应急管理策略来准备、减轻、应对和从整个社区危害中恢复,可以改变这种说法。这种基于应急管理的动态方法概述了各主要机构和利益攸关方之间的协调,并有可能减轻美国主要城市中暴力犯罪的影响。使用哥伦比亚特区(DC)作为样本研究区域,该政策建议得到了对现有数据的定性分析的支持,包括来自有限的现有文献和相关DC机构的数据。调查结果表明,华盛顿特区国土安全和紧急事务管理局(DCHSEMA)能够在现有能力范围内协调应对行动并追究各机构的责任,同时支持所有相关暴力犯罪机构的互操作性。这些发现对国内和国际都有影响。
